<\/span>OTC builds a virtual data center that spans power grids<\/span><\/h4>\n

OTC is buildout our a “virtual data center” by knitting together our data centers, located in separate power grids, together with fiber.<\/p>\n

Using OTC’s “virtual data center” provides improved connection against large-scale blackouts. Production servers can exist at two separate data centers, 60 miles apart, each on separate power grids.<\/p>\n

Using available networking technology the load can be spread across the production servers at the 2 locations.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Virtual data centers” offer two distinct benefits:<\/p>\n

a) Grow incrementally: Ever been in a data center that’s out of space, power or cooling? What do you do next? With a virtual data center architecture you’re not limited by the capacity in your current location.<\/p>\n

b) Uptime: Your equipment physically exists in multiple geographies but is\u00a0connected as if it’s in the same data center so you’re better protected against wide scale power disruption or weather anomalies.<\/p>\n
