A Tier 4 Data Center with a Wholly Secure Environment

A Tier 4 data center from Sterling Network Services offers secure colocation and data/server storage space. The more mission critical the application is, the more redundancy, robustness, and security required. With a wide range of space options available, we can offer everything from standard and customized cabinets and cages, to ample power and bandwidth choices. Data centers like Sterling's are classified by Tiers, with Tier 1 being the most basic and inexpensive, and Tier 4 being the most robust and costly. Sterling's state-of-the-art data center's features and advantages are truly the best in the Southwest. Our facility offers the following features and much more:

1. Primary Power- Electrical service consisting of eight 2,000kva 480-volt transformers for 16,000 amps.
2. Emergency Power- Multiple diesel generators each 1.5Mw w/ power distributed via 480V, 3 phase, 4 wire bus duct.
3. Security- Biometric, physical and other access control devices throughout the facility. Not to mention the concrete walls, floors and ceilings and more!

We are the right place to house your critical data and hardware management or provide you with a primary or secondary managed data center and colocation services.

A Tier 1 data center is not required to have redundant power and cooling infrastructures, but Sterling Network Service's managed data center does. In contrast, a Tier 4 facility must have redundant systems for power and cooling, with multiple distribution paths that are active and fault tolerant. Sterling offers its clients a carrier-neutral network to almost every major telecommunications carrier in the United States and is a fully integrated managed data center. This also includes nine of the top ten best peered Internet backbones on earth. Many other networks are available through Sterling Network Services including private, public, research, dark fiber networks and others. Furthermore, access should be controlled with biometric readers and single-person entryways, gaseous fire suppression is required, and the facility can permit no more than 0.4 hours of downtime per year.
