The Satcom Direct Data Center moves approximately 250 terabytes of information every month. According to the University of Oregon, a single terabyte consists of about 250 movies, each with a two-hour running time or the equivalent of 17,000 hours of music. That’s a lot of movies and music. Or put another way; the Smithsonian quantifies 250 terabytes as the equivalent of five million tall filing cabinets or 125 billion pages of standard printed text.
Safeguarding that volume of information is a significant responsibility and one that we are committed to taking on for our customers. The SD Data Center was conceived and designed to enable secure, tailored data management solutions. Infrastructure as a Solution, IaaS, Backend as a Service, BaaS, Disaster Recovery as a Solution, DRaaS, and more, are available for each and every customer. Data drives all aspects of our world; the value of data is priceless, which is why the SD Data Center focuses on the physical security of the data too.
Physically the building is constructed to withstand category five hurricanes, access is only possible through a single entry with a double-door security system, and access badges are only given to registered clients and limited staff. The badge usage is monitored, and closed-circuit TV keeps eyes on all the servers and those around them. The internal atmosphere is climate controlled to ensure servers function continuously without overheating.
