TekLinks currently provides colocation, cloud, hosting, and disaster recovery services to thousands of business of all sizes – from large financial institutions and government agencies to smaller medical practices and retail shops. The company has data center space in six locations across Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Customers choose TekLinks for colocation due to the power and cooling efficiency, redundancy and reliability the facility provides.
The expanded Birmingham data center is able to hold more than 150 equipment racks and currently has 1 MW of redundant generator capacity, which will be expanded to 2 MW as capacity grows. TekLinks partnered with Emerson Network Power, Generac, and Marathon Electric to install power and cooling systems that create a modular, redundant and efficient environment for their customers.
“We worked with our vendors to provide best-in-breed products to bring our customers the technology and availability requirements that they have come to expect out of our data centers,” says Miller. 
The Birmingham expansion brings TekLinks’ total data center capacity across its six locations to more than 12,000 square feet.
