Abstract
While all datacenters are built under the premise of business sustainability, not all datacenters are equal. Location, accessibility, standards, network, infrastructure and budget are some of the considerations of a datacenter environment. However, when you engineer a facility to meet the standards for a 100% uptime facility, your approach to these considerations is paramount to your ability to deliver. Datacenter101 understands the significant role that standards play in the performance and future growth of datacenter environments.

Datacenter101 is a leading provider of state of the art datacenters in the United States. In this capacity, Datacenter101 provides strategic solutions for small to large end users and enterprises committed to ensuring the protection of mission critical operations. Focused on offering the industry a quality datacenter with an SLA for 100% guaranteed uptime, Datacenter101’s facility opened in 2008.

Datacenter101 invites you to tour their state-of-the-art N+1 facility located in the heart of downtown Columbus.

Abstract:
The Ohio Homeland Security Division contributes to the prevention, detection, deterrence and response to terrorist activities in a number of ways. Central to any successful interdiction of terrorists is the ability to effectively collect and share information from many different sources.

Vital links to build intelligence on terrorist operations come from traditional agencies and from non-mainstream information services. To this end, the Ohio Division of Homeland Security has created the Strategic Analysis and Information Center to facilitate effective terrorism-related information and intelligence sharing.
