The facility

Built for continuity, not just capacity.

The 5.8-acre site combines a 36-inch raised floor and 21.5-foot ceilings with multiple options for power, cooling and network resilience.

Power and cooling

  • High-density power available in N, N+1 or 2N configurations.
  • Diverse 12.47 kV utility feeds with expansion capacity.
  • 2,800 tons of aggregate cooling capacity.
  • A 50,000-gallon chilled-water loop backed by four 35,000-gallon underground storage tanks.

Network diversity

  • Eight diverse underground fibre entry points.
  • Two physically separate Meet-Me Rooms.
  • Eight direct fibre providers and access to 40+ networks through United IX.
  • Partner-delivered direct connectivity options for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.

Physical resilience

  • Gated and biometric access with continuously staffed security.
  • Motion-sensing CCTV, controlled mantraps and interlocking steel exit doors.
  • Reinforced-concrete exterior walls designed for winds up to 90 mph.
  • Outside mapped floodplains, with multi-zone dual-action fire suppression and VESDA detection.

Facility standards

The facility operator reports PCI, SSAE 18 and HIPAA compliance certifications.

Scope matters. Facility certifications do not automatically certify a customer’s VM, software or business process.
