The 140,000-square-foot integrated technology and service facility is located in the Mid-Atlantic region.

In addition, the facility was awarded Tier-3 certification for high availability by the Uptime Institute, LEED Silver certification for energy and environmental efficiency, and a Green IT “Audacious Idea” award for its innovative water management and conservation system.
