digital.forest Technical Support
A new benchmark set.

That is a tower of power you see above. It is the new benchmark for electrical density here at digital.forest. 528 Watts per square foot'. We know that isn't a world record, but it is a very respectable number for a colocation facility here in the Seattle area. Few can approach it, much less match it.

We can't share the name of the client (shhh... they are a startup in "stealth mode") so we've blurred the pictures a bit and removed any identifying marks. They are however VERY happy that they found digital.forest.

Prior to being here, they were colocated at a competitor. They were NOT allowed to put this many servers into their rack at this competitor. In fact, in order to have this many servers, they had to buy FOUR RACKS.

We think that's nuts. So did our new client. Now they are happily colocated at digital.forest and can do it all in one rack.

At digital.forest we are here to assist our clients to succeed, not restrict them from what they need. It is just one part of the digital.forest difference.
