Tyson's Corner, McLean, Virginia, USA - Data Centre
|
Our US presence is provided by HopOne and we utilise their data centre located in
Tyson's Corner, McLean, Virginia. This gives us one the best geographic locations for global hosting on the East Coast of the USA.
The Virginia area is an ideal location for a Data Centre. A very large portion of the world's Internet traffic passes the East Coast, and the
area is not subject to earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, severe winter storms, or other natural disasters.
Located at the true heart of the Internet, and in a very safe and secure area, this central
location ensures optimal connectivity speed and routing, minimizing the number of hops - and thus
the chance of any problems.
