Data Center Colocation

AIS operates six premium, enterprise-class, carrier-neutral data centers and one network node / Point of Presence (POP) with locations in Los Angeles, San Diego and Phoenix. All are designed and operated to meet the highest levels of redundancy to ensure our infrastructure is always available. The AIS service architecture is based on ITIL V3.  The facilities are audited annually (SAS 70 Type II shifting to SSAE 16 Type II).

To ensure unsurpassed reliability and security, all AIS data center infrastructure systems have N+1 / 2N (or greater) redundancy levels. Utilizing our private fiber SONET ring, AIS clients can manage multiple AIS data center footprints for secure, scalable and redundant primary and disaster recovery colocation --supplying piece-of-mind business continuity.
