Data center developer and operator 365 Main has been selected as a guest host for a data center tour at the Site Uptime Network’s Fall Conference. The event will take place September 23-26 in Scottsdale and will include a physical tour of 365 Main’s facility in nearby Chandler, Ariz.

Representatives from 85 companies are expected to attend the conference, which will include concurrent tours of three Phoenix area Network member data center facilities in addition to the 365 Main tour. The Network conference also includes collaborative sessions on benchmarking, abnormal incident collection and analysis, and best practices for data center management.

365 Main was recommended as a guest host by one of the Network’s members and will participate as a guest at the event. 365 Main’s 315,000-square-foot Chandler facility opened in 2006 and is expected to be fully leased in Q4 2007.

“The purpose of this conference is to discuss current challenges faced in modern data centers as well as to share best practices,” said David Boston, program director of the Site Uptime Network. “365 Main’s facility in Chandler was nominated by a member of the Network because of its modern infrastructure and size.”

“It’s an honor to showcase one of our buildings to such a prestigious audience of data center experts,” said 365 Main CEO Chris Dolan. “We applaud the exchange of information fostered by this conference and are very much looking forward to taking attendees from this respected group through our Chandler facility.”
