OUR DATA CENTER

DRW currently owns and operates a state-of-the-art data center in Ontario, Canada offering complete redundancy in power, HVAC, network connectivity, and security.

With our privately owned data center we specialize in providing custom solutions for our customers; each customer is unique and so are their connectivity and colocation needs, with this in mind we can always build a solution to meet any of our clients needs. Our solutions include full, half, partial cabinets and server colocation as small as 1U.

To ensure the fastest and most reliable routing of traffic, we have multiple connections to major tier-1 Internet backbone carriers with Gigabit Ethernet connections with 12Gbps of available bandwidth using HSRP and BGP-4 routing protocol.

Our data center power is completely independent from the building, powered by APCC UPS battery backup power with an onsite diesel generator. Our backup diesel generator system is tested weekly to make sure everything is proper functioning order in case of power grid failure.

Our HVAC systems provide redundant cooling and humidity to ensure guaranteed operating temperature between 55°F and 65°F.

Physical security is provided by archived CCTV and monitored key card access.
