Design and Constructed for Maximum Security

Our Mineral Gap Data Center is located in Wise, VA, otherwise known as “The Safest Place on Earth.” In addition to its mild climate and protected mountain location, Wise, VA is also conveniently located outside of the “blast zone,” near a large airport, and close to government mission critical locations. This area is also optimal for data security as it is characterized by the redundancy of power and telecommunication that ensures data will always be covered.

Additionally, Mineral Gap has both a perimeter blast berm and counter-IED protective measures.
