Located in an industrial park in Sacramento, CA, the building that houses our data center was built from the ground up to be extraordinarily robust and was designed to survive natural disasters and defeat human sabotage.  Our mirror site is located in Ashburn, Virginia and was designed and built to the same standards. The center is an SSAE 16 Certified Data Center.
