USA he reveals : “ The majority of the work I did for Digital Bridge was around the DataBank acquisition , so it was obviously something that I felt very strongly about and thought would be very positive for the business .
“ Now that I ’ ve transitioned to CEO of the company , I feel the best component of the Digital Bridge relationship is that it is a group with very , very well-established access to long-term capital . To be successful in the data center space you really have to have a long-term plan and access to funds . The investments
we are making in building new data centers are not something that you get an immediate return on .
“ We are in the process of building two new data centers , one a 145,000 sqft with over nine-megawatts available in Dallas , which is nearing completion , and we ’ ve also started on a 94,000 eight-megawatt facility in Atlanta . Those types of investments would not be possible with any kind of traditional private equity type of vehicle , where people are looking to get in and out of investments in a five to 10-year period .
