Security is a crucial aspect when creating virtual environments and is often overlooked by competing companies. We have recently moved our custom designed servers to Boeing’s state-of-the-art datacenter located in downtown Chicago. The space was originally built to support SBC’s mission critical datacenter. This facility has been upgraded to meet industry-leading standards for security, network availability, technology redundancy, suppression, cooling and power capacity. These upgrades insure that high power; high-density system installations can be easily accommodated.
