What’s New? Boeing Center, Chicago, Illinois

Hostway’s newest data center, located in the building that's home to Boeing International’s world headquarters, is one of the largest commercially operating data centers in Chicago.

The data center occupies space originally built out for $200 million. Hostway invested an additional $10 million to ensure the data center meets the leading industry standards for security, network availability, fire suppression and power capacity.

Seven dedicated electrical feeds powered by five different substations and connected to multiple transfer switches ensures 1,500 kVA of uninterruptible power supply, with weekly testing of backup generators just in case. Covering 31,000 square feet of server space, the center has capacity for 17,000 servers. Security measures include 24/7 live closed-circuit TV monitoring; redundant power supplies; biometric access control; multiple heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems; disaster recovery and geographic load balancing.
