If you\u2019re in charge of finding a place for data hosting, one of the bigger challenges can be finding the right location. You want a place that\u2019s safe but also not impossible to get to if needed. After all, you\u2019re looking for a place to store your most valuable asset\u2014your data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are three\u00a0reasons why you should choose Indianapolis, Indiana to host your data, whether it\u2019s stored via cloud, colocation or disaster recovery or backup services.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Connectivity<\/span><\/h3>\n

Since here are many major organizations are located in Indianapolis<\/a>, including Anthem, Eli Lilly, Angie\u2019s List and Celadon Group, there\u2019s also a huge demand for telecommunications and fiber companies to provide connectivity. \u00a0There is a wide variety of connectivity companies to choose from, including Indiana Fiber Network and Metronet.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Safe geographic location<\/span><\/h3>\n

Indianapolis has a geographic advantage that many other cities cannot compete with. Thanks to its location in the Midwest, it is safer from inclement weather such as hurricanes, floods, fire, extreme heat (lower cooling temperatures), making it an ideal location for disaster recovery services, or even production sites.\u00a0Even though Indiana does have tornadoes to deal with now and again, the path of damage is usually limited to a smaller area of square mileage than a storm such as a hurricane or a wildfire. It\u2019s a pretty safe bet that even if your recovery site is only 50 miles away from your production site, your employees can safely reach your recovery site, and quickly.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Cost effectiveness<\/span><\/h3>\n

While you can argue that geographic advantages can be applied to plenty of other cities in the Midwest, Indianapolis can add another feather to its cap that they can\u2019t: Cost effectiveness. Indianapolis is in the top 20 cities in the US<\/a> in terms of population\u00a0but doesn\u2019t have nearly the same expenses associated with a city like Chicago or Boston. Indy is easy to get to, and, perhaps more importantly, easy to navigate once there. In addition, traffic is relatively low\u00a0and you find the same\u00a0parking difficulties that you find in a place like Chicago.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a data hosting location, put Indianapolis at the top of your list. No matter what kind of IT services you need, Indianapolis is sure to deliver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
