Exabytes US Data Center

In early 2015 Exabytes US Data Center signed a long term lease and began prepping their new data center space located in the Denver Tech Center area, about 25 minutes south of the downtown Denver data center. We have a sizable cage and two private offices at the data center. The entire facility boasts some very impressive specifications, including over 15 years of continuous uptime. In the event of a utility power failure, diesel generator will start immediately and carry the entire data center load. The data center facility is located in a building that has 24×7 on site security. Their network is powered by a pair of redundant Juniper M5 routers and Cisco 6500 series switches. All of our edge and core equipment is interconnected in a full network mesh to provide maximum redundancy and salability.
