New Seattle Data Center Is Open
Posted in Company News
We’re pleased to announce the opening of our third data center in downtown Seattle. Located in the Fisher Plaza West building, the new Seattle data center features 100 cabinets, with a mix of full, half and quarter cabinets. Construction finished in time for the stormy winter forecast for this winter in the Seattle region.
Our two existing data centers are full, and due to continuing demand from businesses looking for secure data centers with redundancy in power, cooling and bandwidth for their servers, we began construction of this third data center last summer. All three data centers are built to N+1 requirements and Fisher Plaza exceeds seismic zone four standards for earthquakes. Fisher Plaza is connected to eight multi-megawatt generators and two emergency wells that can supply water to cooling towers if city water is disrupted.
There is 24-hour surveillance of data center visitors by security guards and cameras. In addition Adhost undergoes annual SAS 70 Type II audits to verify our data centers’ secure environments. The audit covers the policies, procedures and business processes in place at Adhost. Data center clients can use this audit report for their own security compliance requirements for HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI DSS and others.
Like our second data center, the new one incorporates louvers which exchange outside air to cool the data center when the temperature outside is cool enough – the majority of the year in Seattle. In addition, the power comes from Seattle City Light which is 88% hydro-electric.
We are featuring two move-in specials:
- 42U Cabinet with 100 Mbps bandwidth and 20 Amps UPS Power
- 42U Cabinet with 1,000 Mbps bandwidth and 40 Amps UPS Power
