Can be located in any geography, enabling customers to have a standalone data center exactly where they need it with a price tag they can afford

Deliver a hardened, natural disaster-resistant environment for computing systems, with a variety of construction and technology features that ensure uptime and ergonomics
Come standard with Uptime Tier III certifications for both the design and the constructed facilities, as well as LEED Gold certification for sustainability and efficiency
Offer significant flexibility and personalization options to meet the specific needs of customers, ranging from technical needs to corporate branding

"This patent recognizes all the design and engineering innovations that go into Compass' data centers, making our facilities an ideal solution for the next wave of growth in the data center industry: the trend toward dedicated data center facilities that can be located anywhere and that meet the needs of corporations and service providers in markets that have long been underserved," said Chris Crosby. "Compass' patented design was created with those customers in mind, and it represents a brand new way of thinking for how data centers can meet the needs of customers.
