Cavern Technologies Facility
Cavern’s Underground Facility = Competitive Advantage Offering one of the best combinations of available secure space,
power and connectivity in the country.
• Options over 300,000 square feet • Energy Efficient Green Space • 15% savings on cost of build-out • Ability to provide “just in time” data centers
Space
• Natural bunker protects from tornadoes and natural disasters • Limestone is 3 times stronger than concrete • Protected from flooding/one of the highest points in county • 300 miles from closest fault line
Protection
• Kansas City metro has one of the nation’s lowest cost of power (3.5 – 4.5 cents per kilowatt hour)
• Cavern has two separate power circuits into the Caves that provide redundant sources of electricity
Power
• Tw telecom, AT&T, Time Warner Business and Surewest underground fiber cables enter the below ground facility from five diverse routes
• Provides the option for total redundancy for SONET based services and Telco Central Office diversity
