Located at 511 Shaw Road, CyrusOne’s 130,000 square feet data center built on a 10 acre lot. Designed to CyrusOne’s power, cooling, and security standards, the facility offers up to 12.6 Megawatts (MW) of power.
The facility is about 5 miles away from Dulles International airport and 4 miles from CyrusOne Sterling facility.
The Sterling building will feature robust connectivity options with high bandwidth and high-availability circuits, and a number of metro and long-haul networks. The facility will be well suited for Fortune 1000 companies that require robust data center infrastructure for mission-critical applications and want to locate in an area that is generally free from natural disasters.
No detail was overlooked in designing and building a data center that meets the needs of today’s global businesses. Key capabilities include:
Water Stress and Use | Now | 2030 Projection | 2040 Projection |
Regional Water Stress | Low | Medium to High | Medium to High |
CyrusOne Water Use | Zero Consumption | Zero Consumption | Zero Consumption |
(Risk assessment and projections based on WRI Aqueduct Tool)
Greenhouse Gases | 2004 | 2007 | 2012 | 2016 | 2018 |
MTCO2/MWh | 0.520 | 0.507 | 0.423 | 0.365 | 0.337 |
The carbon-intensity of the grid has improved about 2.7% points per year over the last 14 years of published data. Reported by the US EPA eGRID for the SERC Virginia/Carolina subregion (SRVC).
Grid Renewables | 2004 | 2007 | 2012 | 2016 | 2018 |
Percent from renewable sources | 3.7% | 2.7% | 3.4% | 5.6% | 7.7% |
This has been increasing about 0.6% points per year over the last 14 years of published data. Based on US EPA eGRID data for the SERC Virginia/Carolina subregion (SRVC).
With CyrusOne’s National IX, customers can configure a virtual on-net platform from a multitude of carriers and providers, allowing optimal flexibility and interconnection with anyone at any connected facility and to the cloud.
As part of CyrusOne’s National IX platform, this Sterling data center provides interconnection to other CyrusOne data centers.
