In 2000, it was thoroughly renovated to take advantage of its inherent security features, creating one of the most desirable facilities in the US for the server hosting industry."

Limestone Networks has applied the most rigorous standards of design, testing and maintenance to their new facility to ensure maximum security and uptime for the critical data and applications of their clients. The facility enjoys:
* Six utility feeds from the Dallas Central Business District power grid, featuring reliable N+3 transformers with ATS switches, plus secure, concrete encased building feeds.
* UPS and Generator Backup Power using true A+B power configurations
* All UPS and Generator deployments provide N+1 redundancy provided by
* four 800 KVA MGE UPS systems
* two 1200 KVA CAT UPS Systems
* four 2.0 megawatt generators
* three 1.5 megawatt generators
Security for the new facility is maintained through:
* on site security, 24/7/365
* card access required to enter parking and building lobby
* biometric hand scanner required for data center entry
* annual SAS 70 Audits
A consistent data center environment is maintained by an HVAC Cooling System designed with N+1 redundancy and featuring
* 3500 Ton cooling tower capacity
* a multiplicity of 30 Ton Liebert CRAC Units.
* 80,000 gallon reserve make-up water tank

Considering they've only been in business for 16 months, it's quite an accomplishment to actually OWN their own datacenter building

Aha they'll just have one huge loan, some business's which start up this quickly only begin making a profit after 10-15 years - They must of secured this way before the credit crunch though as I doubt anyone would put this much money into a business at the current time.

Hey,

Limestone only got so big because they have had millions of dollars in investment. So yes, they could be described of having one great big debt owed to investors. But they're a well used and widely recommended provider.

Limestone are terrible from what I've heard & seen. They let users who get attacked constantly on their network and don't even care about it.
