Possessing Uptime Institute’s Tier III certification for
operation and design, and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) Silver certification for power usage, the data center adheres to the
stringent requirements and standards of private enterprise and the Federal
Government. This is the only data center in Virginia or Maryland that carries
the Tier III certification. The certification denotes the risks and security
level of the data center’s performance with Tier IV being the highest.
The Cyber Integration Center is built on a total of 13
acres. Its 102,000 square feet is contained to one floor with an expandable
capacity of 40,000 square feet. The finished 8,000 square feet of office space
features a reception area, restrooms, two cafes, a guard station, 21 offices, a
hallway, and an open space. There is 2,000 square feet dedicated to shipping
and receiving. A fully conditioned raised floor spans 30,000 square feet and
contains three modules with independent infrastructures. Offering 4500kw of
power, the additional capacity of 1500kw of reserved power gives the data
center a total of 6000kw of IT load conditioned power.
The Cyber Integration Center offers security. It is
surrounded by an eight-foot perimeter fence. All areas are covered by indoor
and outdoor cameras. Security guards are on duty 24 hours 7 days a week and
infrastructure alarms are monitored around the clock. The Cyber Integration
Center requires card access into all interior and exterior doors. There are two
entrances with a security gate and they feature an intercom equipped with
cameras. The main building entrance is protected by an inside guard station.
Carpathia Hosting, Inc., which provides cloud solution
services, currently leases 10,000 square feet of the conditioned space. All of
the conditioned space has an N+1 high density configuration with the ability to
offer a 2N configuration.
The Cyber Integration Center is one of the five data centers
owned by DBT-Data in Virginia. DBT Data’s flexible and customizable data
solution powerhouse shells consist of an ecologically intelligent design equipped
with dedicated power and abundant fibers. According to David Tolson, the president
of DBT Development, "DBT is excited about bringing our new Harrisonburg,
Virginia data center online as a state of the art facility. Demand for federal
government and private sector data storage is enormous in the greater
Washington area."
