Welcome to our SEA2 Data Centre Tour!

The Seattle Data Centre is housed in a building specifically designed and built as a data-centre, to the very highest standards of construction, located in the heart of Seattle's technology area.

Caterpillar Generator

Here is the too-big-to-fit-into-a-single-picture 1.5MW Caterpillar generator.

Air Conditioning

Also found in the secure outside enclosure are over 600 tons worth of dry collers for the Data Centre Air Conditioning units.

Roll-up Generator connection

Seen here is the redundant roll-up Generator connection.

Security

Security and safety are taken very seriously, through 24x7x365 staffing and strict customer access control, biometric security, video surveillance, and dual-layer fire detection and suppression systems.

Network

As at all our other Data Centres, the network is fully fault-tolerant, with redundant carrier-grade Cisco 12008 & 12012 GSR core routers, Catalyst 6500 MSFC distribution B switches, and Catalyst 4912G distrition A switches, all always fed off separate, redundant power circuits (both DC and AC power).

Fibre Entry Points and Transport Providers

A significant amount of work has been put in to ensure that there are multiple fibre entry points and multiple fibre transport providers in the facility, ensuring the utmost redundancy and fault-tolerance possible.
