Guam Exchange Data Center

The Guam Exchange Datacenter, located in Tamuning, serves as a premier hub for digital infrastructure in the Pacific. The facility boasts a significant physical footprint, featuring two dedicated data halls that encompass nearly 8,000 square feet (743 square meters) of fully built-out whitespace. This substantial area is engineered to accommodate a wide variety of hardware configurations, ranging from full and partial cabinets to shared rackspace, ensuring that businesses of all scales can find a footprint that fits their specific operational needs.

Power reliability is a cornerstone of the facility’s design, utilizing high-level redundancy to prevent downtime. The electrical architecture includes a Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system configured at 3N/2, providing a sophisticated layer of backup that exceeds standard industry setups. To guard against long-term utility failures, the site is equipped with onsite diesel generators in an N+1 configuration, ensuring that mission-critical equipment remains energized and functional during any external power fluctuations or emergencies.

To maintain the longevity and performance of high-density server equipment, the Guam Exchange Datacenter employs rigorous climate control measures. The facility utilizes Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) units maintained in an N+1 redundancy pattern. This setup ensures that even if a cooling unit requires maintenance or experiences a fault, the environmental temperature and humidity levels remain within strict operating parameters, preventing hardware overheating and optimizing energy efficiency across the data halls.

Security at the Tamuning facility is handled through a multi-layered approach that combines physical presence with digital oversight. The site is protected 24/7 by onsite security staff, complemented by a dedicated Network Operations Center (NOC) team. For technical oversight, the datacenter utilizes advanced Building Management Systems (BMS) and Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) tools. This integration allows for real-time visibility into the facility's health, ensuring that both physical access and environmental conditions are strictly controlled.

As a carrier-neutral facility, the Guam Exchange Datacenter offers unparalleled flexibility in networking. It features a dedicated Meet-Me-Room (MMR) with diverse fiber paths, allowing clients to connect with a wide array of global and local network providers. By hosting an Internet Exchange Point (IXP), the datacenter reduces latency and enhances regional connectivity, fostering a competitive environment where clients can select the best paths for their data traffic to ensure maximum uptime.

Beyond providing physical space, the datacenter acts as a functional extension of its clients' IT teams. With 24/7 onsite technical staff, the facility offers "Remote Hands" services to manage physical tasks like reboots, cable management, and hardware troubleshooting. This around-the-clock availability is essential for international clients who may not have local personnel, ensuring that urgent technical issues are addressed immediately regardless of the time zone.

To meet the evolving demands of modern digital transformation, the Guam Exchange provides a suite of high-level service offerings beyond traditional colocation. These include bare metal servers for high-performance computing, as well as public cloud and managed services. This versatile service catalog allows businesses to adopt a hybrid IT strategy, blending physical hardware with scalable cloud resources to create a customized, future-proof infrastructure within a single, secure environment.
