Why Switch? The time, energy and planning that goes into turning up a successful colocation deployment is substantial. It is intuitively counter productive to expend those resources to create a colocation solution and then have that solution located in an area where there is even the slighest chance that a disaster that could render the facility that the solution is housed in in-operable. Equally as important is the possible damage to connectivity and power in an area that could be subject to a large scale natural disaster. All factors considered Switch groups Nevada Naps have the lowest possibilities of "what if" from natural disasters. This location in the U.S. safety zone combined with the most robust connectivity and power in the industry makes the Nevada NAPs without question the safest and best colocation options in North America.
