Owning rather than leasing our core data centers allows us to have control over every possible factor of our operating environment, from something as simple as who can access the data center to the more complex decisions of what type of equipment to use. We know our customers can’t afford downtime, and it is our wholly-owned data centers that helped us achieve 99.995% uptime in 2013. Within each of our privately-owned data centers, we have carefully engineered our cooling, power, and networking systems to create an environment ideal for fast, secure and reliable server performance. In short, by owning our data centers not only can we provide the most reliable hosting and unparalleled uptime to our customers, but we are also better prepared to handle any issues when they do occur.
Maintaining a Secure Environment
Keeping your data secure is one of our biggest priorities. Owning our data centers allows us to control who has access to the facility where your sensitive data is stored. We restrict access to authorized employees only. In addition, we maintain an on-site security staff who not only monitor our security footage, but also patrol all of our buildings.
