CHICAGO CO-LOCATION

View photo tour of ANET's Chicago Data Center Location.

ANET has a downtown Chicago data center at 216 W. Jackson and another facility in Naperville off Shuman Blvd. The downtown 10,500 sq. ft. space, with 6,500 sq. ft. raised floor, is a Grade A Telco facility with several gigabits of bandwidth coming in from 5 different fiber carriers, including AT&T, Verizon, XO Communications, Above Net, and Cogent.

As a true a carrier-neutral facility, the fact that we’re not beholden to any particular carrier results in improved reliability and flexibility with both ISP and enterprise clients. Most existing data center customers have learned that being captive to a single carrier is dangerous in today's telecom market.

Our new managed server centers are maintained by ANET employees 24/7/365. With a 225Kva and 150Kva UPS you can count on ANET to keep your equipment powered up even in extended power outages. Clients can utilize the new data center to take advantage of dedicated ANET-managed servers, they can co-locate their own of servers, or choose bundled options that include broadband connections and a mix of other services such as network security, management and monitoring.
