Located in Downtown Chicago, Digital Realty’s CHI2 data center is located at 600 S Federal St Chicago, Illinois 60605
The Digital Realty CHI2 data center is housed in a 161,000 square foot building, with up to 10,143 square feet of leased floor space. The building is located outside the 100 year flood plain, and is certified as seismic level zone 0. The facility has a multi-layered security structure, including 24 hour a day, seven days a week on site staff as well as continuous video surveillance. The data center is SOC 2 compliant, and on-site staff monitor the power, cooling and network connectivity at all times. In addition to its access to cages and cabinets, clients also have access to roof rights and on-site parking.
In order to maintain data center functionality, Digital Realty also deploys redundant power, cooling and network systems that ensure maximum up-time. The local utility provides up to 900 total kilowatts of power (0.9 Megawatts) and the UPS systems have a capacity of 180 kilowatts and are arranged in an N configuration. This set up allows for up to 180 watts of power to be delivered per square foot. On site generators are alsoconfigured in an N arrangement, and can deliver up to 1050 kilowatts of power in the event of a utility power failure. Finally, the cooling systems are arranged in an N+1 set up. Digital Realty’s redundant set ups allow them to provide clients with 100% up-time service level agreements.
