Location
LightEdge's flagship data center, Altoona I, is located in Central Iowa, near the junction of Interstate 80 and Interstate 35. The land is known to be flood resistant and geologically stable. Central Iowa has consistently been ranked as one of the lowest-risk areas for data center placement. Nearly
the entire state falls in Seismic Zone "0" and there are no suspected terror threat sites within the state.
Facility
The pre-cast, fully insulated concrete structure has been designed and tested to withstand sustained 200 MPH winds, and is enclosed with a dry design, double membrane concrete roof. Air handling units and other equipment is housed at ground level, rather than the roof, to avoid any unnecessary membrane penetrations.
Data Center Designed for Next Generation Components
The facility is designed to accommodate the increasing power and cooling demands of next-generation computing and storage environments such as Blade Centers and SANs. While the per square- foot requirements of these new platforms are often too demanding for existing facilities, the power and cooling architectures of Altoona I were specifically designed to meet current and future equipment specifications.
On-site Data Center Support Staff
This data center is staffed by technical experts that can provide on-site support for any customer requirements, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. They also provide continuous monitoring for the facility to ensure access security and seamless operations.
Fully Redundant Power Supply
Altoona I is serviced through two independent power grid substations. In the event of an outage on one grid, utility switching automatically routes to the alternate substation. In the event of a complete loss of power at both locations, UPS systems provide uninterrupted power to the data center facilities while the building switches over to on-site diesel back-up generators.
