Our provider's data center strategy consists of building out their own facilities as needed. This facility-owned strategy is quite different than most of our competitors, who instead choose to co-locate their operations within another provider's data center. While certainly more economical in the short-run, especially for smaller providers, the cost is simply passed down to the customer.

Our Providers Own and Manage All of Their Own Data Center Facilities
By owning and operating all of their own Internet Data Centers (IDCs), they have full control and authority over policies and procedures surrounding their facilities. This means they decide security policies, physical access lists, network architecture and topology, etc. These are important points because firms that choose to co-locate loose control of these considerations, and are powerless to their co-location service provider's policies. Poor judgment and network/power failures are out of their control, and their customers pay the price in downtime and a lower quality of service.

Internet Data Center Overview
Currently, our providers maintains over 6,200 square feet of data center space within two separate Internet Data Centers in Kansas City, Missouri. Additionally, their 850 square foot separate power facility houses equipment and batteries, as well as transformer and local utility feeds. The Internet Data Centers (IDCs) are modeled after telco-grade facilities of Tier 1 service providers. These IDCs have all of the security features and amenities one would find in a large service provider.
