Data Center POST, Sarah Chamberlain (DCP-SC) Question: What does DataGryd do and what problems are you attempting to solve?
DataGryd, Tom Brown (DG-TB) Answer: DataGryd is a premier data center located at the iconic 60 Hudson street here in NYC. We have 120,000 square feet of space that span two floors and a total of 15 MW of power, 12 of which are a direct feed from the utility. We also have the ability to mitigate the monthly cross-connect burden. Through Datagryd’s Direct Connect product, you can have a 4-inch conduit built to one of your major partners without paying a monthly recurring charge for fiber cross-connects. In summary, the two problems that we are solving are 1) providing a customized, dense power application and 2) mitigating the cross-connect burden and saving you a substantial amount of money on a monthly and annual basis.
