About
Digital Realty's SJC31 data center in Santa Clara, CA delivers a 145,800 sq ft, single-story colocation facility capable of scaling from a single cabinet to multi-megawatt deployments — making it one of the most electrically intensive commercial infrastructure assets in Silicon Valley. For facility managers and property engineers evaluating critical power environments, SJC31 operates with N+1 UPS redundancy and N+1 cooling redundancy, ensuring continuous uptime across its full power distribution chain. The facility sits within one of Silicon Valley's most connected data center campuses, with direct access to major fiber routes and proximity to cloud, network, and content ecosystems. Power infrastructure at this scale demands rigorous electrical discipline: robust switchgear, layered panelboard and breaker coordination, high-capacity backup generation, and precision UPS systems working in concert across the building's entire distribution architecture. SJC31 holds an extensive compliance portfolio including SOC2, SOC3, PCI-DSS, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, and ISO 50001 — certifications that reflect the operational and electrical standards property and facility managers increasingly require in mission-critical commercial environments. The facility is also Energy Star certified and operates on 100% renewable energy, aligning with the sustainability mandates many institutional and corporate tenants now place on their operators. On-site security runs 24x7 with CCTV retention at 90 days and biometric/photo badge access, reflecting the physical infrastructure protections expected in high-density commercial electrical environments. For general contractors and facility managers overseeing data center builds, retrofits, or colocation evaluations in the San Jose/Santa Clara metro, SJC31 represents the benchmark for commercial power distribution, critical UPS architecture, and compliant electrical operations at scale.
