The Windstream Data Center in Phoenix, Arizona is designed to meet the growing demand for colocation while ensuring your systems, applications and data are safe and secure.

Our Phoenix Data Center is audited under SSAE-16 SOC 1 Type II standards annually. Windstream Data Centers deliver the highest level of security, safety, redundancy, reliability, scalability and technology.

Power is a major component of Data Center Colocation. Windstream has gone to great lengths to ensure that the power supplied is clean, consistent, and reliable. Our power distribution systems ensure that every power circuit delivered to a customer's cabinet is clean and isolated from other customer circuits (i.e. no shared power circuits). PDU (Power Distribution Units) act as "smart" circuit breaker panels, monitoring both input and output voltages and currents.

With 120 tons of cooling capacity currently installed and the ability to expand to 240 tons in the Phoenix Data Center, Windstream monitors the facility's environment to keep temperatures averaging 70 degrees F (+/- 2deg) and humidity levels at 44% (+/- 5%).

The facility is protected by a waterless "clean agent" FM200 fire suppression system located in 9 total tanks throughout the facility. FM200 is people safe and environmentally friendly. It is non-conductive, non-corrosive, and one of the most versatile clean agents available, leaving no residue behind to damage electronic equipment or to have to clean up. The system utilizes a grid work of photo / ion sensors.

Windstream utilizes a suite of monitoring tools and methods to provide proactive notification of server or service affecting outages. Options for monitoring include SNMP based metrics for server health (cpu utilization, drive space, memory usage), service or daemon status (service up / down), or standard TCP / IP protocol response (ping, http, https, smtp, ftp), as well as nonstandard application-dependant port response.
