In September 2017, LightEdge announced that it had acquired the former Cabela’s Data Center in Papillion, NE, located just outside of the metro area in Omaha, NE. The majorly retrofitted data center opened later that month with Cabela as its anchor tenant. As one of Omaha’s first multi-tenant data center facilities, LightEdge is excited to bring highly secure, compliant, and controllable IT resources to the marketplace.
With close access to the Omaha Airport and I-80, LightEdge’s Omaha data center is a prime focal point for long-haul and transcontinental fiber.
Structure
The 16,377 square-foot data center is a Tier 3 rated facility with a 120 mph wind rating. The hardened pre-cast concrete walls are home to four services carries that provide a variety of services capabilities.
Power
The area is known for its constant, uninterrupted power service. The data center facility itself is equipped with two separate utility feeds, along with two separate electrical rooms outfitted with 750 KVA NXL Liebert UPS.
Cooling
Redundant Liebert CRAH cooling systems ensure that servers are kept at their optimal operating temperature.
Security
It will be accessed, monitored and controlled 24/7/365 by video monitoring, DVR retention, key card security and biometric access points. SSAE 18 and ISO audited, and meets requirements for PCI-DSS v3.2 and HIPAA / HITECH.
