Softlayer Washington DC

Facility

Our Washington DC data center is located just 7 miles from Dulles International Airport. The DC area has one of the highest concentrations of fiber connectivity in the US and provides us with multiple network options and world class performance and is specially sited for serving content into Europe. The facility was designed to full Tier IV standards and provides multiple redundant power connections, in addition to the three 2-megawatt generators and eight 750 kVA redundant UPS systems.

Bandwidth / Routing

Internap supply bandwidth to Echoservers at Softlayer Dallas, providing us with network bandwidth of 20 Gigabits per second. Supported by state-of-the-art, industry-leading technology from Cisco and Foundry, this network is designed to be fault tolerant. Our partners ensure that we secure the edge over the competition – we can proudly guarantee less packet loss and higher throughput than our competitors. But it doesn’t stop there. We’re continually looking to increase bandwidth and redundancy across our entire network.
