Rack Space in Central Ohio
Our Metro Columbus data center offers shared colocation with rack space. It suits organizations that want equipment in Central Ohio, or a second site apart from Pittsburgh for disaster recovery.

Pittsburgh and Columbus Together
Running production in one Sierra site and recovery in the other keeps your two copies in different metros while you deal with one provider. Our sister company Sierra Experts can manage the backups and recovery testing in between.
Support runs 24/7 through on-call engineers.
Who Columbus Rack Space Fits
- Central Ohio businesses that want their equipment out of the office and still within driving distance
- Pittsburgh customers who want a second copy of critical systems in a different metro
- Companies with offices in both Ohio and Pennsylvania that would rather deal with one provider
- Small IT teams that would rather open a remote hands ticket than drive to a server room at 2 AM
