TierPoint

TierPoint's downtown Seattle data centers are located at Northwest telecom hub Fisher Plaza, a world-class mission critical communications facility. Our colocation facilities are housed in secure buildings that exceed seismic zone four codes and are built to N+1 standards. Both Seattle data centers use Tier 1 connectivity from multiple providers, advanced security and redundant environmental systems to ensure servers are up and running 24x7. 

Because each data center has separate infrastructure, with one company you can have added redundancy capabilities and seamless fail-over. In Adhost West, you also get jumbo-sized 42-inch cabinets for cutting-edge servers that run hotter and need more room. At the same time, Adhost is cutting costs-and consumption. Cold air pressurizes a fully adjustable floor, allowing our team to rapidly adapt to changing needs and keep things cool. Louvers for exchanging air with the outside wrap-around our facility, reducing air conditioner use in chilly Seattle.
