Venyu, a Baton Rouge-based data storage and security firm, says it has broken ground on a new 67,000-square-foot, $35 million data center in Jackson, Mississippi, which will be its fourth such facility when complete.
The new center in Jackson is being structurally reinforced and built to the same specifications as the 23,000-square-foot Baton Rouge center it opened in the spring of 2014. The Jackson center will offer cloud hosting, cloud backup and disaster recovery services, as well as colocation space to host company networking devices. Venyu will also lease space in the center to the University of Mississippi Medical Center to serve as headquarters for its Center for Telehealth.
“UMMC’s entire operation center will leverage Venyu’s power and network connectivity to efficiently administer telehealth services across the state of Mississippi, without requiring doctors or the patients to travel,” the company says in a news release.
