(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider ServInt (www.servint.com) announced on Tuesday it has expanded its operations with the opening of its first data center in Los Angeles.
Entitled ServInt LA, the facility is ServInt’s second data center. The company also has a data center in the Washington, D.C. metro area, known as ServInt DC.
ServInt LA leverages the company’s extensive network infrastructure of the Los Angeles metro area, giving ServInt customers a choice between two geographically diverse server locations.
“As demand for our web-hosting service increases worldwide, ServInt LA enables us to provide more options for our customers by leveraging the massive Los Angeles bandwidth hub,” says ServInt CEO and founder Reed Caldwell, who has relocated to Southern California to supervise the development and implementation of ServInt LA and its corresponding network enhancements. “It also supports our aggressive international growth objectives. It is my privilege to personally manage this major company milestone.”
The closed, private data center facility features CCTV surveillance and biometric access control, fault-tolerant power redundancy, powerful industrial class generators, 24-hour monitoring, liebert temperature-controlled server environment, N+1 and redundant AC/DC UPS power, ample cooling capacity, and technical staff on premises.
Additionally, ServInt LA’s geographic location is ideally suited to meet the Web hosting requirements of both new and existing customers in the western United States, western Canada, Latin America, Asia and Oceania, says Caldwell.
ServInt LA will also adhere to ServInt’s policy of climate-positive hosting through implementing energy-efficient virtualization techniques.
It will also practice 100-percent recycling of recyclable vintage hardware parts, as well as offset the carbon footprint of ServInt LA by 110 percent through reforestation projects, as it does with all its facilities.
ServInt successfully met its climate-positive Web hosting goals for 2008, offsetting at least 110 percent the total carbon footprint of its entire line of virtual private servers, including its SuperVPS service, through the funding of reforestation campaigns.
The company has also made a donation to United Way of Greater Los Angeles’ “Creating Pathways Out Of Poverty” plan to show its committment to the Los Angeles area.
