Cabinets and Cages

There’s no need to build your own data center or expand what you already have. US Signal’s data centers can cost effectively house your IT infrastructure with options designed to easily scale to the cloud as your needs change. There are no connectivity, space or technology constraints.

Store your data in half cabinets, full cabinets, or custom-sized private cages. Every facility is directly connected to US Signal’s robust, secure network, providing you with greater network security and connection options.

Eliminate capital expenses associated with setting up a remote disaster recovery site by using a secure, reliable US Signal colocation facility instead. Create a hot, warm or cold DR site or use two sites in an active-active configuration.

Currently, you can get a $100* cabinet at our data centers located in Oak Brook, IL, and Indianapolis. Visit those pages for more info.

Cloud-to-Data Center Connection

For fast, secure, dedicated access between your IT assets and US Signal public cloud resources, go with a Cloud-to-Data Center (CDC) connection. CDC connections are available to customers with collocated IT assets housed in the same US Signal data center as their US Signal public cloud service.

The service employs a redundant topology that allows links that are physically connected to two different edge switches to appear as a single connection to your equipment. Your gear can be a switch, server, or any other networking device that accepts 2 x 1Gbps or 2 x 10Gbps optical connections. The CDC connection provides optic and switch redundancy while stretching your Layer 2 network from your collocated gear and virtualized resources with US Signal.

Eliminates Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) blocked ports
Provides a loop-free topology
Provides fast convergence if either the link or a device fails
Provides link-level resiliency
Helps ensure high availability
Allows a single device to use a port channel across two upstream devices
Uses all available uplink bandwidth

Virtual Cloud Connect

Connecting to the cloud — any cloud — has never been easier. US Signal’s Virtual Cloud Connect provides you with dedicated, direct network access to major cloud providers. No direct peering or collocating your networking equipment in a provider-supported data center is required.
