The Web Hosting Industry Review recently published a list of the 10 Most Connected Data Centers and Equinix's DC2 location comes in at #9 globally. Many of our clients have toured our operations center in DC2 at the campus in Ashburn, VA and have seen first-hand the awesome power of this facility. What many don't know is that there are now 11 Equinix IBX's, (Internet Business Exchanges) what we know as data centers, in the surrounding area of the Ashburn campus.
Each IBX can offer different advantages. The power density at the DC11 location is amazing and can reduced your footprint dramatically. The ability to have custom designed, bio-metrically accessed private rooms in DC10 makes this perfect for large scale installations. But in the end, the ability to connect with almost every Internet provider makes the DC2 location highly sought after real estate.
Hedgehog's clients know the power of that connectivity. We put our client's content as close to the end user as we possibly can by hosting our network and our servers at DC2. In a time where data center space seems to be popping up everywhere, we continue to utilize Equinix as our primary point of presence, even at a cost greater than that of their competition.
We believe that is the same decision many of our clients make when it comes to using Hedgehog Hosting and Hedgehog Technology Services. While we many not always be the lowest cost option the benefits of working with Hedgehog are abundantly clear and are a proven value for the cost.
We will continue to explore the ever-changing marketplace that is forming as all of these new data center spaces come to market, but for now, we will continue to utilize one of the most connected data centers as our primary point of presence to benefit our clients.
