Henrico’s QTS data center lands new client
Georgia-based eApps Hosting is expanding into the QTS Richmond Data Center in the former Qimonda plant in Henrico County.
The company will initially house equipment for 500 private cloud customers, who use remote servers to store, process and manage data.
eApps already works with QTS – Quality Technology Services – at its Georgia data center.
eApps president Richard Lingsch said in a statement that moving into the Henrico facility was a "natural next step."
Details were not immediately available on how much square footage eApps would take and when it would begin moving in equipment, a spokeswoman said.
An executive for eApps who was instrumental in the decision to start operating here was out of the country and not available for comment Tuesday.
The company said it expects to expand its presence both here and in Georgia this year, according to the statement. Last year, eApps expanded three times within the Georgia facility.
Kansas City-based QTS acquired the 1.3 million-square-foot Qimonda chip-making plant and 210-acre property in Henrico for $12 million in a bankruptcy court auction in March 2010. The company said then it plans to invest about $100 million over several years to convert the plant to a data center.
In May, QTS leased space at the center to Planned Systems International Inc., a Columbia, Md.-based information technology services provider for the Defense Department.
