Softlayer Washington DC

December 1st, 2009

Facility

Our Washington DC data center is located just 7 miles from Dulles International Airport. The DC area has one of the highest concentrations of fiber connectivity in the US and provides us with multiple network options and world class performance and is specially sited for serving content into Europe. The facility was designed to full Tier IV standards and provides multiple redundant power connections, in addition to the three 2-megawatt generators and eight 750 kVA redundant UPS systems.

Bandwidth / Routing

Bandwidth is currently provided through redundant Internap connections (20G). This gives us a total network capacity of 20 Gigabits per second. The network has been designed to be fault tolerant using industry leading equipment from Cisco and Foundry. We guarantee our servers will have better routing, less packet loss and higher throughput than our competition. We are always in the process of bringing online new bandwidth providers. We are constantly seeking to increase bandwidth and redundancy across our network.
