About
Evocative Data Centers' New Jersey facility (EWR1) delivers 10 MW of total power capacity across 105,000 square feet in the Newark metro — one of the densest commercial and industrial corridors on the East Coast, home to 45 Fortune 500 companies within striking distance. For facility managers and property owners evaluating mission-critical electrical infrastructure in the Newark, Secaucus, and greater Northern New Jersey market, EWR1 represents the benchmark for large-scale power distribution and redundancy. The facility is fed by two diverse 5 MW underground utility feeds — expandable to 20 MW — paired with four 1.4 MW APC Symmetra UPS systems providing seamless ride-through protection across the entire power chain. Backup generation is handled by four 2 MW diesel generators in an N+1 configuration, with 48 hours of runtime at full load, a critical resilience spec for office, industrial, warehouse, and mixed-use properties demanding continuous uptime. Cooling infrastructure includes four 400-ton air-cooled chillers in an N+1 design supported by a 600-gallon-per-minute closed-loop pump room — a power-hungry mechanical load that underscores the facility's demand for precision electrical distribution and switchgear coordination. Security systems operate 24x7x365 with biometric access controls and state-of-the-art surveillance, representing the kind of life-safety and low-voltage integration increasingly required across institutional and commercial properties throughout New Jersey. Connectivity is anchored by direct fiber access to the Equinix campus less than one mile away, with carriers including Verizon, Cogent, Zayo, Comcast, Lumen, and Megaport. EWR1 sits outside the 500-year flood plain, a siting decision that directly reduces electrical infrastructure risk for tenants and colocation clients alike. Facility managers evaluating power distribution, generator systems, UPS infrastructure, and switchgear for Newark-area commercial properties will find EWR1 a relevant operational benchmark.
