What makes Razor Servers the best? Simple! Our network!
The Razor Servers Data Center, located in the Building of the Americas at 401 North Broad Street in Philadelphia, PA, USA, has a unique history that has positioned it as one of the most secure and structurally stable data centers in the world. Constructed in the early 1900’s by the Department of Defense, the Building of the Americas was specifically designed to withstand the rigors associated with the production of tanks assembled during World War I and II.
The location of the building was chosen by the Department of Defense due to its proximity to the National Rail Lines. The building sits directly above the train tunnels which allowed the production crews to drop the finished tanks onto a flatbed train for easy transport. In the 1950’s, ATT established a Point of Presence (POP) in the Building of the Americas by constructing a phone services network throughout the train tunnels, subsequently linking into all East Coast phone service traffic.
Today, the train tunnels house fiber optic cable, stretching along the entire East Coast and extending to the far reaches of the globe. As a result, every major carrier has a Point of Presence within this building. The ability to connect to every major carrier gives Razor Servers tremendous growth potential, as well as placing Razor Servers in one of the premier carrier neutral data centers in the world.
The Building of the Americas is fed by two separate power grids. In addition, Razor Servers possesses diesel generators capable of providing power indefinitely in the event of a power outage. All equipment is connected through a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). Razor Servers data center has N+1 redundancy and is SAS 70 certified. Razor Servers utilizes a completely redundant network infrastructure consisting of Dual Juniper M Series routers, Multiple Cisco Switches for the core network, as well as Cisco “edge” switches.
In addition to top of the line hardware, our entire network is run via Gigabit Fiber connectivity. This allows Razor Servers to move massive amounts of bandwidth, even for the most demanding, bandwidth-intensive needs of our customers.
