Home / Data Center Facilities / MIA1 Miami Data Center
MIA1: Primary exchange point for high levels of traffic between the U.S. and Latin American markets.
Specifically designed to house our dedicated servers, the core focus of Volico’s Miami (MIA1) facility is on redundancy, allowing our network to rapidly self-heal failures without interruptions to connectivity. MIA1 is a data center built as a specialty facility to accommodate our Dedicated Server clients who demand a first-class facility that offers reliability, security, and high-quality network performance.
Located in the heart of downtown Miami, Volico’s MIA1 shares the dual power grid that services local hospitals, federal and state courthouses. Ranked as one of the five most connected cities in the world, Miami has a telecommunications infrastructure that further enhances services at our data center by providing multiple fiber loops, carrier facilities, and international cable landings. Volico gives your company access to the preeminent communications gateway to Latin America. Our MIA1 data center is the primary location for all hosted server services provided to Volico’s clients as well as cost-effective colocation.
- Security personnel is on-site 24/7/365.
- Guards require valid photo ID from any individuals attempting to enter the building.
- A key card is required to use the building’s elevators and access the data center floor.
- An additional key card and biometric hand scan is required to access colocation space.
Finding the right IT solution can be a daunting task for any business. In-house solutions are often inadequate and quickly become expensive. Space limitations, the financial impossibility of building a data center from the ground up, and the impracticality of retrofitting all lead to one conclusion: colocation provides businesses with a variety of benefits no other alternative can match.
We provide the space, power, cooling, and physical security for your equipment and get you connected to a network with minimum cost and complexity. We’ve already made the investment in the secure, redundant, state-of-the-art facility; you just step in and leverage them for your business’ benefit.
