Hosting in the US
WHERE WE HOUSE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE
Our Nobull Networks’ dedicated servers in the US are housed at our flagship facility in Federal Way, Washington. Located 25 miles south of Seattle, WA, the facility is situated outside liquefaction zones.
Liquefaction happens when loosely packed, waterlogged soil near the surface loses its strength in response to a natural disaster, like an earthquake. Such an event could impact our infrastructure, so we were keen to avoid areas where liquefaction was a risk.
When we were looking at hosting in the US, this facility stood out for us because of its superb location and its ability to withstand natural disasters. The short distance to Seattle also allows us access to the Seattle Internet Exchange (SIX), one of the largest peering exchanges in the US.
Keeping Our US Servers Safe
Our facility boasts a range of features designed to keep our US servers operational, whatever’s going on outside. All power to the facility comes from two separate providers, each with its own power grid. We also have three on-site generators with on-site fuel storage in case the grid power fails.
In addition, the facility features Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems with battery backup, giving you peace of mind knowing that our US servers are protected. Our facility is also equipped with a chilled water system with onsite water storage and redundant pumps, along with a dry pipe fire suppression system.
