Are most companies prepared in the case of a natural disaster? Will they be able to fail-over to their most critical applications to another site with full orchestration and application consistency? As a massive El Niño warming builds near the Pacific Ocean, scientist are predicting it could be the strongest ever. The Pacific Ocean is now hotter than recorded in at least 25 years, surpassing the temperatures during the record 1997 El Niño. El Niño is a weather phenomenon involving a section of the Pacific Ocean west of Peru that warms up, causing alterations in the atmosphere that can cause dramatic changes in weather patterns globally. At any point in time wether it be human error, hardware failure, earthquakes, floods, fires, or power outages these disasters can threaten the livelihood of any organization.

In order to branch out and provide more options for our customers, VPLS has partnered with DuPont Fabros to offer hosting from our very first east coast data center. This expansion allows our customers to now choose if they would prefer their server’s location on the east or west coast of the United States. Location is key when trying to keep your data safe from natural disasters such as El Niño.

Our Ashburn, VA data center is one of the largest data centers in the United States, boasting 360,000 square feet. Of that square footage, 176,200 square feet is a raised floor area perfect for our server requirements.
