Acehost (Raleigh-Durham) Data Center

The Raleigh-Durham Data Center is a state of the art facility strategically located in the heart of the Research Triangle, making it ideal for the region's tech hubs and research centers. It features a modern, centralized network infrastructure and advanced environmental monitoring, notably utilizing a VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) system for swift smoke detection. This 14,000 sq. ft. facility, situated safely in Flood Plain Zone X, is designed for high reliability, boasting an impressive uptime record of $>99.99999\%$ for continuous operation.

Security is a top priority, implemented through multistage protocols and stringent access procedures. The facility employs proximity card access control systems and biometric scanners to manage physical access. These measures are complemented by comprehensive archived color CCTV monitoring, ensuring a secure environment for all housed equipment.

The data center's power infrastructure is exceptionally robust, engineered for maximum resilience. It features an N+1 redundant UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system to prevent service interruptions. In the event of a utility outage, 1.25 MW of generator backup power with an automatic transfer system is immediately available. Power specifications are flexible, ranging from 4 kW to 14 kW per cabinet.

To maintain optimal operating conditions, the cooling system is also built with N+1 built-in redundancies. This robust setup ensures that cooling capacity is always maintained even if a component fails. The center utilizes down-flow air distribution within its raised floor environments to efficiently manage heat and keep equipment at proper temperatures.

The data center offers highly versatile interconnectivity options, providing dedicated fiber optic pathways and the potential for direct, physical-layer connectivity to a multitude of carriers and cloud solutions. For businesses, the facility offers a variety of colocation solutions, including Full Cabinets, Partial Cabinets, Shared Rackspace, and Cages, supported by Remote Hands service. The fully built-out whitespace is 14,000 sq. ft. with a fully built-out power capacity of 1.25 MW.
