Leading Edge Data Center Technology

From planning through completion we sought to design and build an data center facility boasting some of the leading edge technology on the market today. While Iowa is one of the safest locations in the world to locate a data center we wanted to add high end features to our data center that will provide unmatched security to your data.

• Raised Floor System- provides added safety to your equipment. Most facilities place racks directly on a concrete floor
• Novec 1230 Fire Suppression- the most environmentally friendly and electronics safe halogen replacement fire suppression available on the market.
• APC InfrastruXure System- allows utilization of in-row cooling technology. Provides cost and energy savings compared to traditional forced air. InfrastruXure system is predesigned by data center professionals to provide a safe, predictable environment.
• Dual Load-Balanced Fiber Connectivity- automated balancing provides efficient data transfer and guaranteed up-time.

Built for survival

The ITS data center features 3200 sq ft of raised floor surrounded by twelve inches of concrete which is located below grade. A Novec 1230 gas fire suppression system protects all equipment from damage in the event of a fire. The office area features conferencing space and private office space for customer use. The office serves as ITS’s corporate headquarters. The network operations center provides monitoring of the physical and network environments. Dual fiber optic connections provide redundant internet connectivity. The entire facility features on-site backup power generation.
