Network & Data Centers

We believe that our servers are only as good as the data center they are housed in as well as the network they are connected to. We use SoftLayer Datacenter’s and some of the largest names in the bandwidth to bring you a world class network and data center facilities. With around the clock monitoring of the network from the Network Operations Center (NOC), you can sleep easy at night knowing there are trained professionals monitoring your server and our network for any signs of trouble. In the rare event of trouble, the NOC and data center employees are trained to handle the problems in a quick, efficient manner minimizing your downtime.

We are proud to be located in several data centers throughout the United States. These centers are state of the art with industry best practices in building and design with N+1 redundancy for all critical infrastructure. Below are some details of the data centers we have available to you.
