Logik + Equinix = Speed n Security Posted By Andy Wilson on October 29, 2009
We are very excited to announce some big news at Logik. Our processing power (all of our servers and your data) are now within our new data-center at Equinix. If you drove through Chinatown on your way to work over the past few months you may have noticed some street construction between 7th and 9th streets. Sorry, that was us. We were installing a secure high-speed fiber line into our Equinix data-center.
Who’s Equinix you ask? The world’s leading global data center and interconnection provider (Nasdaq: EQIX). Netflix, DoubleClick, Amazon, Google, and Adobe use Equinix to house their servers, and now Logik does too. www.equinix.com/company/customers
So, what does this mean for you?
Speed
The secure fiber line we had installed gives us gigabit ethernet connectivity to our servers, even though they are now in Ashburn Virginia. We also increased our internet bandwidth by 10x and can now provide lightning-fast FTP uploads/downloads at speeds up to 100mbps. Downloading 10+ gigabytes in just a few hours is now a reality (assuming you aren’t using dial up).
Security
When 80% of the east coast’s internet traffic flows through your data-center it’s safe to assume security at Equinix is top-notch. That being said, here are some of the security highlights: N+1 power redundancy, precision HVAC temperature controls, smoke detection units, fire suppression systems, environmental control, biometric hand-geometry scanners, monitoring via CCTV and tightly controlled access.
