Data Center Design
All CompuWebHosting data centers are built upon CompuWebHosting's unique pod design concept, making them functionally independent with distinct and redundant resources, and fully integrated through CompuWebHosting’s revolutionary network architecture.
Data Center Pod Concept
Each data center facility features one or more pods, each built to the same specifications with best-in-class methodologies to support up to 5,000 servers. Leveraging this standardization across all geographic locations, we optimize key data center performance variables including: space, power, network, personnel, and internal infrastructure.
