Diverse fiber pathways accommodating Sonnet rings are provided by from the listed carriers. We operate a true carrier/optically neutral San Diego data center with large (2000 sq. ft) Meet Me Room and separate POP room for carriers and fiber providers. This data center is connected via redundant OC192 to our San Diego Kearny Mesa Data Center and to our colocation space at One Wilshire in Los Angeles, which gives our customers access to 260 additional fiber networks and carriers.
Many San Diego colocation companies these days claim to have state of the art facilities. When our San Diego data center was built, no expense was spared. 10 million dollars was spent to build 25,000 square foot San Diego data center. An additional 5 million has been invested in network infrastructure and upgrades. It shows as well as it functions. Our San Diego data center is equal to or better than any San Diego colocation facility.
