123.net continues to build out its data-storage capabilities in Southfield. The 17-year-old company began working out of its 130,000-square-foot structure at 24700 Northwestern Highway last year. Its offices occupy the top floor of the seven-story building. It expects to wrap up work on Phase 1 of the project early next year, which will bring 15,000 square feet of data center space online.
"We are expanding our data center facility in the building," says Dave Curran, channel sales manager for
123.net. "We expect to have 100,000 square feet of data center space." He adds that his company is working to turn the building into a tier 4 data facility.
123.net employs 30 people. It hired five over the last year and had three openings for marketing, engineering and sales professionals. The company expects to hire 12 people in 2014 to support its projected revenue growth of 25 percent.
"We're always looking for good people with solid backgrounds," Curran says.
