IPR International, LLC was founded on a simple concept: that technology will change at such a rapid pace that most mid-size organizations will not be able to keep up with it, and thus that we would dedicate ourselves to providing the best-of-breed, state-of the-art data protection technologies available so that our clients can focus on their core business operations with the secure knowledge that their electronic data is safe and accessible to them at all times.

Facility

• Tier 3+ data center - 37 feet underground built on a 4 foot thick floating slab. Base is clay.
• 60,000 sq ft of underground raised floor
• 50,000 sq ft of above ground raised floor
• Green Facility since 1985
  • Heat re-cycling unit to capture heat from data centers to be reused internally to heat the non-raised floor area
  • Capability to make slush to cool the water for the chillers to drives power costs down
• 24 inch raised floor built to load capacity of 150 lb/sf, 21 feet slab to slab clearance
• Workstations for 1000
• Onsite cafeteria, showers, lockers
