About Denver Data Center
H5 Data Centers' Denver data center is a purpose-built facility, initially constructed by United Airlines and most recently owned by the global distribution system manager Galileo (a division of Travelport), a leading global travel commerce platform. The data center campus sits on more than 12 acres in the Denver Tech Center and is comprised of four buildings totaling nearly 300,000 square feet. H5 Data Centers' Denver data center campus actually supports two independent Tier III, concurrently maintainable data centers.
