Los Angeles-based digital ad technology provider OpenX Technologies this mroning said it will open its fifth data center.

OpenX currently operates data centers in Los Angeles, Virginia, Amsterdam and Tokyo to support about 5,000 publishing clients worldwide.

The data centers support OpenX's real-time bidding exchange OpenX Market, which processes more than 1 million bids per second during peak processing times.

The new data center is expected to come online during the third quarter of 2012 and will be located in Chicago.
In 2011, OpenX estimates it served 1 trillion ads and anticipates being at 300% of that rate in 2012.
