Facility

The Data Cave facility sits on a privately owned 21 acres

The Data Cave facility is an 86,000 square foot building, built with oversized, reinforced concrete block.  The building sits on a privately owned technology park in a secluded area.

Data Cave is a purpose built data center, meaning that every aspect of the facility was designed from scratch to be efficient and important.  We did not try to retrofit an existing building into a data center like many others do.

Some of the key aspects of the data cave facility are:

Hardened Construction

One key aspect in Data Cave’s building design was hardening against mother nature.  To this regard, Data Cave excels far beyond many other data centers.

• The construction of the builidng was done with oversized concrete block and nearly 1″ diameter rebar, allowing the facility to withstand the hit of an EF-5 tornado.
• The facility is located outside of any seismic zones, and deep soil samples were taken to determine seismic classifications.
• The building is located outside of any flood plain.  Furthermore, a moat was constructed around the building to divert any water should flooding occur.

Physical Security

The non-descript building sits on a privately owned technology park, secluded from access traffic.  Access to the building is tightly controlled with multiple levels of protection, including:

• Security fencing, with barbed wire.
• A single monitored, gated customer access area.
• Keycard controlled customer access
• Biometric scanning system for access into the data center portion of the building
• Video surveillance throughout the entire property
