Data Centers

At MediaLayer, we set our standards very high when choosing a suitable data center for our application hosting environment. Primary points that we take into consideration include (but are not limited to): location, quality & availability of bandwidth, security, and the building staff/management. We plan to continue expanding to global data centers in order to decrease risk and facilitate future geographically-redundant product lines. Below you will find a brief outline of each facility we utilize.
