Rack & Data
Rack & Data is a premium, carrier-neutral public co-location and hosting facility designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern digital enterprises. Operating since 2013, the facility is housed in a 24,000 sq. ft. building, featuring 11,000 sq. ft. of fully built-out whitespace. As a retrofitted, multi-tenant site with expandable whitespace, it provides a flexible environment where customers can install servers with the assurance of Tier 2 design standards.
Robust Power Systems
The facility is engineered for high-density performance and energy resilience. It is primarily solar-powered, utilizing automatic transfer switches to toggle between the grid and a reliable generator backup. Each rack is standardly wired for 6,000 watts, though high-density users can opt for 12,000 watt racks. To ensure continuous operation during power fluctuations, the site employs inline UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems across the entire infrastructure.
Advanced Cooling and Environmental Control
To maximize efficiency and reduce electricity consumption, Rack & Data utilizes a custom-designed cooling system that leverages fresh, filtered, and conditioned air when external humidity and temperature levels are optimal. The facility architecture incorporates hot and cold aisle containment, a strategic layout that isolates exhaust air from intake air to maintain a stable climate for sensitive hardware.
Connectivity and Networking
As a carrier-neutral hub, the facility offers a Meet-Me-Room (MMR) and provides access to two distinct network providers and two peering networks. This connectivity ensures that clients can manage BGP Internet requirements with ease. The infrastructure is designed to support a variety of tenancy needs, offering everything from shared rackspace and partial cabinets to full cabinets, private cages, and dedicated suites.
Security and Site Access
Security is a top priority, featuring 24/7 CCTV surveillance and onsite security staff during business hours to monitor the premises. Clients benefit from 24-hour access to their equipment, allowing for hardware management at any time. Furthermore, the facility offers roof access for specialized equipment and is supported by bonded and certified professional installers to ensure all hardware is integrated correctly.
Support and Managed Services
Beyond the physical space, Rack & Data provides comprehensive operational support, including remote hands for off-site troubleshooting and maintenance. Emergency services are available as required to address critical hardware or connectivity issues. This combination of "smart hands" and professional installation services ensures that both local and international tenants receive the technical support necessary to maintain 100% uptime.
