Telus Corp. will pull the wraps off its internet data centre on Friday, Jan. 31.
The B.C.-based telecommunications provider said the $75-million centre in Sahali is one of the most environmentally sustainable data operations of its kind in the world.
Telus said the data centre will use 80 per cent less power than an average facility of its size, which is 215,000 square feet.
The centre is designed to meet the gold standard for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is regarded as one of the most advanced cloud-computing data centres in North America.
The building on McGill Road, beside the Q9 Networks data centre, will employ about 25 people, as well as 50 others elsewhere.
KTW will be on hand for the opening for what Telus said will be a detailed look at the “next-generation cloud-computing technology.”
