The company recently added data center space in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, signing a long-term lease for 10,000 square feet of raised floor space out of DuPont Fabros Technology’s data center.
To complete the Statement on Auditing Standards 70 audit, ServerCentral submitted information about its strict controls over customer data and related processes.
Issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the auditing standard demonstrates that ServerCentral has adequate controls and processes in place.
