DC1 - Asheville, NC

DC1's equipment and operations are located in the Datacenter at 100 Technology Drive in Asheville, North Carolina. Our world-class facilities are custom-designed with high-density in mind to support 1000 watts/sq. ft. for today's new technology requirements. Fully meshed and redundant HVAC systems ensure the data center can always remain chilly to protect infrastructure from heat damage.

The datacenter is protected by round-the-clock systems management with onsite personnel certified in the areas of networking and data center operations. The result is a physical and technical environment delivering the reliability and flexibility necessary to support mission-critical Internet operations.
