Our
data center is located in downtown Chicago, Illinois and offers
complete redundancy in power, HVAC, network connectivity, and security.
The data center facility sits atop multiple power grids driven by
ComEd, with full UPS battery backup power and diesel generators onsite.
The network is supplied by several separate networks including,
Level(3), Savvis and AT&T. The fiber provided to the data center is
also provided over redundant paths.
Why Chicago?
More
long haul fiber goes through Chicago than any other city in the United
States. Most of the fiber connecting the East and West coasts of the
United States goes through Chicago, giving it ample network capacity as
well as routes that offer low latency to both the East and West coasts.
Chicago also has an extremely low occurrence of natural disasters such
as hurricanes, tornados, floods, and earthquakes compared to most of
the rest of the United States, meaning there is a reduced risk of
outages due to natural disasters.
All of these factors combine to provide a stable, reliable, and high performance environment to support your online sales. |
