RagingWire Data Centers announced that the company has raised a $230 million credit facility to fund its strategic growth plan and ongoing expansion of its data center campuses in Sacramento, CA, and Ashburn, VA. The syndicate funding the investment was led by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, co-led by Comerica Bank, and included eight financial institutions in total.

The interest rate varies from 200 to 350 basis points over LIBOR depending on leverage.
