When it comes to trusting someone with your data, you want redundant power and cooling, state-of-the-art security, and low-cost, high-bandwidth connections that enable you to do more from a distance.

NYSERNet’s 4,000-square-foot commercial-grade data center in Syracuse provides all that and more, and has become the trusted disaster recovery and business continuity partner for some of New York’s top universities and research centers.

Members use our data center to support a wide range of applications, from critical emergency communications to redundant administrative computing systems. We also handle high-performance research computing and massive backups – made possible with our 100-gigabit network.

We built our data center with research and education in mind, with lockable 19-inch cabinets standard and critical systems that can be maintained without shutdowns that inconvenience system administrators and users. We also support flexible connections via 10-gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel SAN, NYSERNet’s R&E network and the commercial Internet.

Access to the data center is available to your authorized staff around the clock and it’s strictly controlled by card-key and finger-print locks. The facility is under video surveillance, and facility intrusion, fire detection and HVAC systems are monitored 24 hours a day. Fire protection is provided by an early warning system, smoke and high-temperature sensors, and an FM-200 fire suppression system.

NYSERNet’s highly qualified staff members provide on-site assistance, and services are available with one business day’s notice. All our participants receive an annual allowance for scheduled on-site assistance, and emergency on-site assistance is available within two hours – every day of the year. We’re also easy to get to, conveniently located near two major interstates, Hancock International Airport and an Amtrak terminal.
