Adaptability is simply an extension of flexibility.
An excellent data center will be flexible with your changing needs as you scale.
Over the long term, your data center should be able to meet you exactly where you are as your business ebbs, flows, and changes in time.
Choosing a colocation provider is all about reducing risk.
Clients want to reduce the risk of a power failure, data loss or interruption in service.
When customers are looking at a facility to consider for colocation, it’s important to do a deep dive.
Redundancy in power, cooling, and networking is vital, but what about the facility’s operations?
Do you know the future goals and plans of your colocation provider?
Here at FIBERTOWN, we have been a stable and reliable Texas-based data center operating since 1997. We’ve been here for 25 years, and we plan on being here for another 25.
We’re proud of being Texas-owned and operated, and we love helping other Texans achieve their business goals.
You can depend on FIBERTOWN to be a financially stable business partner with a large network of experience from our partners.
Our goal at Fibertown is to make the extraordinary the ordinary. That’s why we give a human response to every request within 15 minutes. We strive to aid in our customer’s success in all we do.
Can you say the same about your provider?
In 2021, where you store your technology matters.
Redundancy in power, cooling, and networking is key.
For FIBERTOWN, our power redundancy is 2N or greater, and our cooling redundancy is N+1 or greater.
With our networking, we use multiple carriers to create our blended bandwidth. If one carrier goes down, the others will continue to transport. For a visual example, think of sending a certified letter to someone and the FedEx delivery truck breaks down. With blended internet, UPS is right there to take the package to the final destination rather than losing the package forever.
We strive to have no single point of failure. If one part of the chain breaks down, another is there to pick up the slack and maintain our 100% uptime.
We offer our clients a 100% uptime Service Level Agreement (SLA). Other competitors offer 99.999% (or the five nines), but we go above and beyond that to offer 100%.
All of these reasons illustrate why our colocation and data center customers love their experience at FIBERTOWN. Make a more informed decision. Download our FREE checklist to begin comparing your data center criteria.
Contracts, renewals, lease agreements and the RFP process.
Ask your tech department how they feel about these four items — and you’ll likely hear a groan or get an eye roll.
They just take so much time. And effort. Time that could be spent on project work — moving your company’s bottom line in the right direction.
What is your time worth?
If you’re a local government agency based in Texas, whether at the local or state level, you might want to avoid the RFP process for where you locate your IT infrastructure.
Consider a colocation license agreement or lease agreement to enable a longer-term contract without requiring an RFP.
FIBERTOWN has a number of government entities in our data centers, and one of the reasons they give for choosing us as their colocation partner is to not have to go through that process every year.
It gives you back the time you’ve spent on contract negotiations and the endless meetings about the document language.
It puts you back in the job you want to be doing — your day-to-day business efforts.
If you’re thinking about making the jump to a data center, you won’t be the first. Here are a few of the reasons others have switched to FIBERTOWN facilities in Bryan and Houston.
It’s an easy switch to move your IT infrastructure to FIBERTOWN. If you’re looking for a way to reduce paperwork and save time on contracts, contact a FIBERTOWN expert today for more information about relocating.
Fully redundant power allows Houston and Bryan data centers to remain 100% operational during February 2021 winter storm
During any disaster, companies must be prepared with operational redundancy. The amount of backup power available is paramount to keeping systems online during the crisis.
When a utility failure occurs due to severe weather (like the sustained freezing weather of February 2021), equipment failure and power line damage can be devastating.
Data centers (like FIBERTOWN) who offer redundant power and fault-tolerant systems will be better equipped to avoid costly periods of downtime.
Cloud and blended internet keeps FIBERTOWN online
With Megaport connectivity, FIBERTOWN customers are closer to the cloud resources that are essential to business. Megaport provides protected, private access to cloud connectivity services such as Office 365, AWS and Google through a single port.
This optimizes cost and safety and reduces latency delays.
Megaport is a large-scale Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) utilizing 100 Gbps technology to deliver dedicated access to cloud services.
Using a dedicated, secure connection to the cloud, Megaport brings the cloud to the colocation so that your cloud services and colocation services can operate as one.
FIBERTOWN also uses a blended internet system with multiple carriers to keep customers online at all times. Blended internet is more cost-effective, flexible, and reliable than traditional or dedicated internet services.
Thoughtful infrastructure secures FIBERTOWN’s redundancy
The Houston data center is located along the main fiber route from Dallas to Houston, which provides close proximity and easy access to the fastest telecommunications networks.
FIBERTOWN HOUSTON also features diverse fiber entrance points in and around the building, designed to support a fully redundant and secure multi-homed network.
The Houston data center utilizes primary and secondary Point of Presence (PoP) rooms, delivering diverse pipelines of redundant connectivity to customer equipment.
This ensures every customer is always protected and business connectivity never goes down.
FIBERTOWN also provides point-to-point services via a dedicated pathway between its Houston data center and the Bryan/College Station data center.
Both facilities are concurrently maintainable and offer 100% uptime.
Another important factor is FIBERTOWN’s dedication to power with its HVAC cooling systems. The environment inside the data center can never change, so redundancy and concurrent maintainability must be in place for the critical systems delivering cooling.
If a component of the system goes down, the infrastructure ensures functionality even in the event of a component failure.
Utilizing FIBERTOWN data centers for critical business systems
FIBERTOWN offers fully redundant, secure and reliable data centers to keep your mission-critical business systems available 100% of the time.
As a colocation provider, the range of disaster recovery solutions is nearly unlimited. You can use FIBERTOWN as your primary & secondary sites, only secondary sites, hot or tape back-up, and for Highly Available (HA) fail-over.
