Adhost Completes Data Center Expansion

Adhost Internet, a leading provider of server colocation and shared server hosting in downtown Seattle, today opened the doors to a greatly expanded data center - 50% more rack space than the original one. In addition to the extra rack space, the data center, located in the Fisher Plaza in downtown Seattle, features a more efficient air conditioning system and an improved security system.

“Just one year after moving into our data center at the Fisher Plaza, we had added so many servers for our colocation clients that we had to start planning a data center expansion,” commented Will Riffle, President and CEO of Adhost.

Added Kurt Widmann, Adhost Sales Manager, “It’s a relief to have the extra space available for our new and existing clients. We’ve had a wait-list since the spring. Our lockable ¼ and ½ cabinets have been very popular.”

Other features of Adhost’s data center include:

Seismically braced cabinets with lockable front and back doors for added security
Redundant HVAC environmental cooling systems
Fully backed up UPS power, and six multi-megawatt generators that can run at full capacity for weeks with emergency refueling as needed

Constructed on glacial till soil to seismic zone 3, essential facilities exceed seismic zone 4 standards (the highest of ANY data center or colocation facility in Puget Sound)
Raised access floor system
Two emergency wells to supply water to cooling towers if city water is unavailable
Perimeter and interior card key access system with 24/7 security monitoring
Proprietary, redundant and cross-configured multi-homed router network
