What makes data centers in Chicago stable and why are they so effective? We answer these questions and cover everything you need to know about what makes a midwest data center unique.
There are several reasons behind the success of data centers in Chicago.
Location can be a critical factor in determining a good data center. One benefit Chicago data centers have is their exact location. With the O’Hare International airport within 20 miles from each unique data center Chicago offers, like Evoque’s, which is situated in the Illinois Technology and Research Corridor, they are conveniently located for frequent flyers and native Chicagoans.
Some important stats and specifications that fuel the success of Chicago data centers are:
One of the biggest advantages each midwest data center has is the lack of natural disasters, making their locations safer and more convenient for clients compared to more coastal regions. Hurricanes and earthquakes specifically are extremely rare.
Since Chicago resides within a low seismic zone — zone one, to be exact — the risk of earthquakes is reduced by a significant amount. In fact, Seth Stein, an earth and planetary sciences professor at Northwestern College, states, “The ground is not storing up any of the energy that will be released in a future earthquake,...That implies that there’s no good reason to believe there’s a big earthquake coming anytime soon.”
World-class fiber infrastructure, dependable electricity, and renewable energy are often present in data centers within Chicago.
