Ark Data Centers (Involta's)
Involta’s Duluth, Minnesota, data center is a world class colocation facility encompassing over 26,000 square feet of total building space. This LEED Silver certified building is designed as a Tier III capable facility, though it integrates several Tier IV characteristics for enhanced reliability. The core is protected by high-density, reinforced concrete walls, providing a purpose-built environment that allows organizations to bypass the massive capital expenses of building and maintaining their own private infrastructure.
Power Infrastructure and Redundancy
To ensure uninterrupted uptime, the facility features a robust power architecture including a 2N UPS redundancy configuration. The fully built out power capacity stands at 0.3 MW, supported by standby power redundancy (N). These systems ensure that critical data remains online even during external power failures, providing a level of reliability that meets the needs of enterprise level operations.
Environmental Controls and Cooling
Maintaining the longevity of hardware requires a strictly controlled climate. The Duluth facility utilizes an N+1 cooling redundancy system to manage temperature and humidity with precision. This redundant HVAC setup ensures that even if a cooling unit fails, the environmental conditions remain stable, preventing hardware from overheating and ensuring the whitespace accounting for 3,200 square feet of the facility remains optimal for server performance.
Connectivity and Network Reliability
Connectivity is a cornerstone of the Involta design, featuring a redundant fiber optic ring to prevent single points of failure in data transmission. The facility provides access to five peering networks, offering diverse routing options and highspeed throughput. Clients can choose from various deployment scales, including full or partial cabinets, shared rackspace, cages, and custom suite footprints to match their specific networking requirements.
Multi-Layered Security and Monitoring
Security is managed through a blend of physical barriers and advanced technology. The facility employs a mantrap entry, 24/7/365 CCTV surveillance, and onsite security staff available at all times. Access is strictly governed by dual-factor authentication, utilizing both card access and biometric security controls. This always-on monitoring ensures that only authorized personnel can enter the high-density core areas.
Compliance, Support, and Amenities
The Duluth data center is engineered to meet rigorous regulatory standards, including HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, DSS PCI, and NIST 800-53 certifications. Beyond technical specifications, Involta offers Remote Hands services for onsite technical assistance, as well as professional amenities such as a conference room and breakroom for visiting technicians. The entire facility is also protected by an automatic fire suppression system to mitigate risk and ensure data integrity.
