Benefits
High-Speed Internet Connectivity
Maintain fast, reliable access to the Internet for your Web site or e-business applications with direct access to one of the world’s largest global IP backbones. Our data centers are directly connected to our IP backbone, providing reliable, one-stop shopping for robust, scalable connectivity and hosting options. Connections between our facilities and your business are at speed levels from DS1 through OC / GB, and backed by competitive SLAs.
Cost-efficiency
Colocate your equipment in our data centers to avoid the large upfront costs and maintenance that would otherwise be necessary to build and maintain your own infrastructure. Save time and resources by freeing up your in-house staff to concentrate on operations and content. Control your costs even more by using your existing hardware, software and storage equipment.
Redundancy for Mission-Critical Operations
Maintain the reliability and availability of your mission-critical operations. Our state-of-the-art data center facilities are equipped with backup power and connectivity systems designed to reduce single points of failure.
