New York Data Center

Cervalis’ New York Data Center resides in Dutchess County and is approximately 65 miles from New York City. Renovated in 2001 to support mission-critical applications, the facility is an N+1 infrastructure with no single points of failure. With a total of 90,000 square feet, the facility includes 40,000 square feet of active data center and 20,000 square feet of Business Continuity Recovery Seats.
Network Environment
Cervalis’ fault-tolerant network environment provides divergent routes and multiple connections in networking cable, via multi-homed Synchronous Optical Network Technology (“SONET”) rings. This setup establishes N+1 redundancy for all network devices.

Our self-healing wide area network and fully redundant, high-speed local area network infrastructure (Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet) provide our clients with highly reliable, secure network solutions that have virtually limitless scalability. As a carrier-neutral provider, Cervalis is currently interconnected and peering with multiple national international Tier 1 and Tier 2 carriers. We also provide end-to-end Ethernet connectivity between this data center and metro New York City.
