About
Evocative Data Centers' SJC11 facility in Santa Clara, CA delivers 9 MW of total power capacity across 73,000 square feet, fed by two diverse 4.5 MW substation feeds — a critical infrastructure benchmark for facility managers evaluating mission-critical electrical resilience in Silicon Valley. The site operates a Tier 3-design architecture built on five 750 kVA UPS units in an N+1 configuration, backed by four Caterpillar 1.5 MW diesel generators, ensuring continuous power availability even during utility grid events. Power distribution is routed below the raised floor using color-coded seal-tight conduit, enabling rapid fault identification and reducing mean time to repair — a detail that resonates with facility managers overseeing dense colocation and enterprise computing environments. Cooling infrastructure includes two 1,200-ton Baltimore air coil chillers supported by four 75 HP pumps, sustaining thermal management at scale. Originally the Intel NOC and satellite center, the facility has been fully modernized and certified under HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, ISAE 3402, SSAE 18, LEED, and Green Globe standards — making it a viable host for regulated industries including healthcare, government, and financial services. Connectivity spans multiple fiber optic providers with dual and diverse feeds from carriers including AT&T, Lumen, Cogent, Comcast, Verizon, and Zayo, among others. For property managers and facility managers in the San Jose and Santa Clara metro overseeing office, industrial, institutional, or mixed-use assets that require co-location or edge infrastructure support, SJC11 represents a proven, code-compliant electrical and mechanical platform built to sustain enterprise-grade uptime in one of the most power-intensive commercial real estate markets in the country.
