Building and maintaining an in-house data center can cost tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention the fact that internet bandwidth is expensive and backup power generation is more work than most businesses can handle. Co-location removes the need for all of that.
US Interactive's datacenter will keep your equipment safe, secure and available 24/7/365, saving you the expense of constructing or renovating your own data center. You can have access to our world-class co-location facility which was built to the highest industry specifications, so you benefit from our investment.
We guarantee that you will always have the space you need with fully scalable, highest quality and completely reliable data center facilities. With U.S. Interactive's Data Center, you get more than just a data center - you get a solution lead by a team of experienced data center professionals dedicated to assessing, adapting and growing with the co-location space needs of your organization.
US Interactive offers a shared environment whereby customer provided equipment (servers, switches, routers) is co-located within a cabinet within USI's server room. While the network configuration varies customer-to-customer, the most common configuration is one in which a Fast Ethernet cross connect, burstable to 50 mbps, is delivered from the shared switch to the customer's equipment.
USI's shared server co-location is an inexpensive entry-level service. As a model for our customers, USI systems are designed with redundancy and availability in mind. Our in-house data facility is supplied with redundant DS3 tier-one data services. Our web servers are load-balanced to supply near 100% uptime and availability, which allows us to perform most maintenance with zero downtime. All of our servers are dual processor, dual power-supplied, RAID 5 servers designed for maximum uptime and availability. Additionally, we have hot, spare servers ready to bring online at a moment's notice for non-redundant systems such as our database servers. Power needs are backed by a diesel generator in case of electrical outages.
