The work was intended to double capacity for high-density computing in a 60,000-square-foot facility built in 1998.
What Infocrossing expanded in Tempe
The January 2007 announcement described an infrastructure retrofit at the existing site. Infocrossing enhanced the facility’s power, cabling and cooling capabilities so it could support more high-density computing. The project did not add a building or enlarge the site’s reported 60,000-square-foot footprint.
Infocrossing CTO Dave Leonard described the result this way: “We were able to increase the productive capacity of the data center without a physical expansion.” Business Wire’s January 2007 announcement said the upgrade was intended to double capacity for high-density computing.
How the upgrade increased computing capacity
Power and cooling can constrain how much computing equipment a data center can operate in a given area. By improving those systems and the cabling, Infocrossing could accommodate densely racked servers and blade servers in high-density areas, producing more computing per square foot than lower-density areas used for traditional tape devices, servers and mainframes.

The announcement gives the doubling figure as a goal for high-density computing capacity. It does not state the facility’s post-upgrade capacity in megawatts or provide a measured before-and-after figure, so the claim should not be read as a documented doubling of the building’s total power or overall floor-space capacity.

Property sale and leaseback
The Tempe property was also part of a transaction reported the previous year. On January 6, 2006, Data Center Knowledge reported that LSAC Operating Partnership L.P. would buy the Tempe property for $12.15 million and lease it back to Infocrossing for 20 years. The sale/leaseback covered Tempe and Omaha facilities together and had a reported combined value of $25 million; that total was not the price of the Tempe property alone. Data Center Knowledge’s report does not establish the facilities’ current ownership or operator history.

Is the Infocrossing Tempe facility still operating?
A current Tempe facility-records directory lists an Infocrossing facility as operational and identifies Arizona Public Service among the grid operators tracked for Tempe facilities. The directory does not publish a verified current megawatt capacity for Infocrossing, and its listing alone does not establish the site’s detailed ownership or operating history.
