menlo digital: Santa Clara Data Center
About Santa Clara Data Center
Located in the heart of the Silicon Valley data-center hub at 4650 Old Ironsides Dr., Santa Clara, California, operated by Menlo Digital — offering infill proximity to major technology campuses, fiber routes and metro network density.
Situated in a strong real-estate and connectivity market with low-seismic-risk infrastructure and immediate access to multiple carrier entry points and interconnect ecosystems.
Originally constructed and expanded with robust infrastructure — the facility features approximately 124,383 sq ft two-story shell with 36,000 sq ft raised-floor space added in 2012.
Designed for high performance and scalability: part of Menlo Digital’s dedicated digital-infrastructure platform targeting cloud, enterprise and hyperscale operations.
With its premium location, core connectivity and infrastructure foundation, this data centre is ideal for hyperscale, enterprise and cloud deployments.
⚙️ Facility Highlights —
- Built shell includes over 120,000 sq ft of building footprint and significant raised-floor area (36,000 sq ft) enabling user deployments with flexibility and scalability.
- Supports high-density and future-growth deployments through strong infrastructure base — capability for modular expansion and adaptive facility design.
- Redundant electrical infrastructure, carrier-neutral environment and resilient cooling systems underpinned by an infill Silicon Valley site built to support demanding workloads.
- Energy-efficient design and sustainable operations are embedded in the property’s modern shell and fit-out potential, making it well suited for enterprise clients focused on operational efficiency and growth.
🔐 Security & Compliance —
- Multi-layer physical security protocol includes 24×7 staffed operations, biometric access controls, CCTV surveillance throughout interior and exterior zones — built to enterprise standards in a mission-critical environment.
- Full fire-detection and suppression systems, including very-early-smoke detection apparatus and dedicated fire zones, ensure continuity and equipment protection.
- The facility supports high-availability infrastructure and is positioned to meet strict uptime SLAs suitable for enterprise, cloud and AI operators.
- Certified and audited operations maintain compliance with industry-grade standards (e.g., ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2/Type 2, PCI-DSS) ensuring rigorous governance and controls.
🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access —
- A true carrier-neutral facility in one of the world’s most connected metro markets — offering seamless cross-connects, dark fibre and lit-fibre network access to major local, regional and global transport routes.
