About
CoreSite BO1 is a 273,000-square-foot Tier III colocation data center at 70 Inner Belt Road in Somerville, MA — one of the most interconnected commercial facilities in New England and among the only enterprise-grade data centers bordering Boston's central business district. For facility managers and property owners evaluating mission-critical electrical infrastructure, BO1 represents the benchmark for power distribution reliability, high-density electrical loading, and redundant switchgear design in the Greater Boston market. The facility's state-of-the-art mechanical and electrical infrastructure is engineered to support demanding power densities, making it a reference point for commercial electrical systems found across Boston's financial, technology, healthcare, and higher education sectors. The electrical backbone of a facility like BO1 encompasses robust three-phase power distribution, enterprise-grade UPS systems, automatic transfer switches, paralleled backup generators, and layered panelboard and switchgear configurations — the same categories of commercial electrical systems that facility managers oversee in large office campuses, institutional buildings, multifamily high-rises, and industrial properties throughout the Boston metro. CoreSite staffs BO1 with on-site field operations and remote hands support on a 24x7x365 basis, reflecting the operational standard that property managers and building owners increasingly expect from their own electrical service providers. The facility's multi-site connectivity across CoreSite's 11 edge markets also signals the kind of multi-building, campus-scale power infrastructure coordination that general contractors and facility teams manage across mixed-use developments and healthcare or education campuses in the region. Whether benchmarking redundant generator systems, evaluating switchgear replacement cycles, or planning large-scale power distribution upgrades, Boston-area facility professionals can reference BO1's infrastructure model as a standard for commercial electrical excellence in the Northeast.
