Cabinets & Cages 

There’s no need to build your own data center or expand what you already have. US Signal’s data centers can cost-effectively house your IT infrastructure with options designed to easily scale to the cloud as your needs change. There are no connectivity, space, or technology constraints. 

Store your data in half cabinets, full cabinets, or custom-sized private cages. Every facility is directly connected to US Signal’s robust, secure network, providing you with greater network security and connection options. 

Eliminate capital expenses associated with setting up a remote disaster recovery site by using a secure, reliable US Signal colocation facility instead. Create a hot, warm or cold DR site or use two sites in an active-active configuration. 

• Flexible contracts and flexible sizing of private cages.
• Variety of power options.
• Efficient cooling solutions to ensure consistent temperature and humidity levels.
• Redundant critical components to help ensure 100% uptime.
• Multiple physical and operational security features and protocols.
• All facilities audited for compliance with HIPAA/HITECH, PCI DSS, SOC 1, TYPE 2, and SOC2, Type1 .
• Managed IT services and professional services are available.

Colocation Cabinets - Individual locked cabinets and cabinet-equivalent spaces are sold under two models.

• Bundled – Monthly price includes cabinet space and all utilities.
• Unbundled/Metered – Monthly price includes cabinet space, while utility consumption is metered and invoiced monthly based on actual usage. 

Colocation Cage - Private locked caged space is available as metered space (meaning utility consumption will be metered and invoiced monthly based on actual consumption). The space is sold per square foot, per kW, or per cabinet equivalent model

Virtual Cloud Connect 

Connecting to the cloud — any cloud — has never been easier. US Signal’s Virtual Cloud Connect provides you with dedicated, direct network access to major cloud providers. No direct peering or collocating your networking equipment in a provider-supported data center is required. 

Cloud-to-Data Center Connection 

For fast, secure, dedicated access between your IT assets and US Signal public cloud resources, go with a Cloud-to-Data Center (CDC) connection. CDC connections are available to customers with collocated IT assets housed in the same US Signal data center as their US Signal public cloud service. 

The service employs a redundant topology that allows links that are physically connected to two different edge switches to appear as a single connection to your equipment. Your gear can be a switch, server, or any other networking device that accepts 2 x 1Gbps or 2 x 10Gbps optical connections. The CDC connection provides optic and switch redundancy while stretching your Layer 2 network from your collocated gear and virtualized resources with US Signal. 

• Eliminates Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) blocked ports
• Provides a loop-free topology
• Provides fast convergence if either the link or a device fails
• Provides link-level resiliency
• Helps ensure high availability
• Allows a single device to use a port channel across two upstream devices
• Uses all available uplink bandwidth
