Navigating the Cloud: Best Practices & Successes

LightBound will be adding a third data center for server collocation before the end of the year.   This is a great site for data disaster recovery.   The new site will be at 800 Oliver Ave, and is located just South of 731 W. Henry Street.  This new data center is about 800 square feet and will have 26 cabinets.   This data center is using some new designs and technologies.  First it will be powered with a separate power feed and generator from the 731 W. Henry Street data center.  So if customers want some redundancy this will be a good option.   Flywheel UPS technology will be deployed.  This technology has advantage of being less prone to problems due to not having to maintain batteries.  Hot row containment cooling will also be used in this data center.   Cabinets are configured so there are two rows of cabinets with the back facing each other and enclosed on both ends of the row and all above with heat venting out. There front of cabinets are facing out.  This would be a great site for WAN consolidation due to access of carriers, 24 x 7 x 365 availability as well as having seasoned WAN engineers available to monitor and support.
