MANUFACTURING INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS
Data Center Services for Manufacturers
Move ERP, MES and plant systems out of the server closet into a Pittsburgh facility with 99.997% uptime, diverse carriers and remote hands on site.
When the Server Closet Stops, the Line Stops
Plants run on ERP, scheduling, quality and shipping systems, and many of them still live in a closet next to the shop floor. Heat, dust, a single internet line and one power feed make that closet the weak point.
The Pittsburgh Technology Bunker gives those systems 1.54 MW of power fed by three utility substations, air cooling with chillers and commercial HVAC systems, and carriers including Verizon, Lumos, DQE Communications, Cogent, Metro Optical and Fidium Fiber.
