Evaluating Data Center Companies

Data center companies can provide important benefits to data-intensive enterprises. Using a colocation center to host your IT resources can reduce your capital expenditures, speed your time to market for new products, and provide geographic diversity for critical data backup operations. When choosing your colocation provider from amongst competing data center companies, several key criteria should determine your choice:

• Location of the candidate data center companies.
• Data center facility quality, particularly as it bears on availability, scalability, and security.
• Data center operations practiced by the candidate data center companies.
• Services offered by the candidate data center companies.
• Stability of the data center companies.

Why RagingWire Stands Out from Other Data Center Companies

Across all these criteria for judging data center companies, RagingWire Enterprise Solutions stands out as the best option for your critical colocation needs:

• RagingWire is in Sacramento, California – an ideal data center location. A Sacramento data center offers distinct advantages. Sacramento has a highly educated work force and first-rate municipal and internet provider services, but is lower in costs than the nearby San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley. Sacramento is also relatively immune to natural disasters, facing neither the earthquake risks associated with coastal California, nor the winter storms that afflict the Mountain West. RagingWire’s Sacramento data center location also benefits from being in a California state enterprise tax zone.
• While most data center companies settle for N+N or N+1 redundancy in their critical systems, RagingWire’s Enterprise Data Center^SM is driven by a next-generation N+2 redundant power, climate control, and networking infrastructure that delivers “five nines” uptime to our enterprise clients. Our 220,000ft² datacenter facility can scale power and cooling in excess of 225W/ft², and boasts all the latest physical and network security technologies.
• In operating our colocation facilities, RagingWire adheres to the best ITIL service management practices. We’re compliant with SAS 70 type II and ISO 17799. And our environmental practices and achievements set the bar for data center companies.
• RagingWire offers you a full range of services including data backup management, server and network monitoring, relocation support, and professional consultation on critical IT concerns like regulatory compliance, future-proof infrastructure design, and disaster recovery.
• RagingWire has a proven history of winning and keeping the business of Fortune 1000 enterprises. We’re well-capitalized, profitable, and here with you for the long haul.
