Chicago DC
Servers are housed in private datacenter space operated by WiredTree in the newly renovated 427 LaSalle data center facility located adjacent to the Chicago Board of Trade in downtown Chicago. The building is one of Chicago's preeminent carrier hotels and was designed to meet the security, interconnection and power requirements of the world's leading financial institutions. 427 S. LaSalle has been at the heart of Chicago's communications thoroughfare since 1919 when it was built by Western Union and significantly renovated in 1999 and 2007. As one of Chicago's most connected colocation sites, many carriers and service providers also offer easy access to network with other POPs at 111 N. Canal, 600 S. Federal and 350 E. Cermak.
