Situated in the northern technological sub-market of the Columbus metropolitan area, Expedient’s Upper Arlington data center (CMH1) provides mission-critical colocation, managed cloud infrastructure, and push-button disaster recovery services for Midwest enterprise operations. Spanning 21,591 square feet of overall building envelope featuring 9,300 square feet of 24-inch raised floor space, the facility is engineered to deliver uninterrupted compute availability and seamless multi-site workload failovers. The architectural blueprint implements a fully redundant 2N Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system backed by auto-cutover Caterpillar diesel generators with 10,000 gallons of fuel storage, securing continuous operation under grid instability. Built to meet strict enterprise compliance standards, the data center undergoes routine independent third-party audits to support SOC 1, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and HITRUST CSF certifications. The physical perimeter incorporates multi-stage security protocols, including biometric hand-geometry scanners, card-key access traps, and 24/7/365 physical guarding monitored by an on-site Operations Support Center (OSC). Environmental stability is maintained via a 420-ton precision cooling plant configured with N+2 redundancy, paired with FE-25 gaseous fire suppression and dry-pipe pre-action sprinkler systems. Network transport is delivered through a carrier-neutral infrastructure featuring seven on-net telecommunication carriers with physically separated subterranean fiber entries. By linking directly into Expedient's private multi-gigabit national backbone network, the facility offers low-latency interconnectivity to AWS US-East and adjacent regional cloud nodes, making it a key infrastructure pillar for Ohio healthcare systems, financial institutions, and enterprise IT deployments.
