Aplus.Net Transfers to Phoenix Facility

Web hosting provider Aplus.Net announced on Thursday it has successfully transferred a major division of its dedicated server hardware to a new high-tech data center in Phoenix, Arizona. The data center is Aplus.Net’s second, along with its original San Diego-based facility.

The migration involved the shipping of 2,600 servers including firewalls, load balancers, KVM switches and all other associated equipment. The company made the shift during off-peak hours over a duration of several weeks, reducing service interruption times for customers, says the company.

Ryan Elledge, Aplus.Net’s chief operations officer “We’re proud to announce the successful completion of Phase I of our new Phoenix data center. As we move on to Phase II, we’ll be sharing further announcements about our progress in optimizing and further growing our capabilities in this brand-new facility.”

The new 25,000 square feet data center features direct fiber-optic connectivity, uninterruptible power from multiple UPS systems, a back-up diesel generator and refined climate-control systems. Aplus.Net has partnered with six major Internet backbone providers to provide a multi-homed bandwidth that is best-suited for uninterrupted connectivity.

Aplus.Net announced last week it rebranded its line of dedicated hosting servers.
