WHY SIERRA
More Than a Data Center Operator: Optional Sierra IT & Cyber Support for Your Infrastructure
Sierra Data Centers runs The Pittsburgh Technology Bunker in Downtown Pittsburgh and a Metro Columbus data center, with 99.997% uptime, a SOC 1 Type II audited report and carrier-neutral connectivity. If you want help with the IT on your equipment, our sister company Sierra Experts has done that since 2006.
A Data Center Run by People You Can Call
Most data center decisions come down to three questions: will it stay up, can it grow, and who picks up when something breaks.
- Up: 99.997% uptime, 1.54 MW of power fed by three utility substations, and carriers including Verizon, Lumos, DQE Communications, Cogent, Metro Optical and Fidium Fiber
- Grow: 13,500 sq ft across 3 floors, from a few rack units to a private suite
- Picks up: an in-house Pittsburgh team, with support 24/7 through on-call engineers
