The Los Angeles data center market is in high demand. Facilities in the second-largest U.S. metro area provide important points of interconnection to data centers in Phoenix, Las Vegas and Silicon Valley, and are vital to supporting the needs of the entertainment, technology, aerospace and biomedical industries.
To manage colocation environments and reduce latency for end users, Los Angeles data center customers want to be close to their infrastructure and thus are increasingly in search of centrally located real estate. What’s more, Los Angeles is a key network gateway to Asia Pacific users, boasting some of the most interconnected internet exchange points in the world.
High demand, however, has resulted in capacity constraints. The Los Angeles data center market is seeing low vacancy rates and limited construction of new data center space, with only 9.0 MW under construction and only 6.0 MW planned at the end of 2018, according to a recent report from JLL. In comparison, nearby data center hub Phoenix saw 45.0 MW of new space, with 299.8 MW planned. Northern California saw 42.0 MW under construction over this same time period.
One reason for the limited capacity is the cost of power, partially due to older grids. In markets seeing booming data center growth, energy costs are often half of what customers will see in the Los Angeles area. However, that desire to be close to the infrastructure, as well as to key network exchanges, will be enough to drive demand for the foreseeable future.
When deploying in a competitive market like Los Angeles, enterprises must make the most of their data center investment by choosing a provider that can effectively meet unique performance needs and provide an energy efficient environment.
Considering Los Angeles colocation, network or cloud solutions? There are several reasons why we’re confident you’ll call INAP your future partner in this competitive market.

Our recent expansion to this Los Angeles data center offers additional benefits to customers and more space in a market hungry for it.
Redondo Beach Data Center Expansion
The Los Angeles data center expansion began with a build-out of an additional 12,000 square feet of sellable space. After the build-out, the following phases will add modular infrastructure deployments contingent on customer loads. The expanded facility uses efficient mechanical design combined with an optimized UPS deployment. Total critical power capacity increased from 1.4 MW to 3.2 MW to support new customer deployments and existing customer growth.
To help address the cost of power, energy efficiency is of the utmost importance. The expansion to the Redondo Beach facility increased energy efficiency to 1.3 PEU effectiveness, a level above the national average of 1.67.
Spend Portability Meets Changing User Demands
Organizations need the ability to be agile as their needs change. With INAP Interchange, there’s no need to worry about getting locked into a long-term infrastructure solution that might not be the right fit years down the road.
There are a variety of business cases for Interchange, including a move from a colocation facility to a bare metal or private cloud environment, or a re-deploy of applications to a new hosted environment. Geographic flexibility is a common reason for a tactical shift. For example, a company based in an INAP data center in Los Angeles may see an increase in demand in its SaaS solution in the Southeastern U.S. To be closer to its customers, the company can shift to a custom-engineered solution in one of INAP’s two Flagship data centers in Atlanta.
Colocation, Bare Metal and Private Cloud solutions are eligible for Interchange. The program allows customers to exchange infrastructure environments a year (or later) into their contract so that they can focus on current-state IT needs while knowing they will be able to adapt for future-state realities.
