American Internet Services' Phoenix, Arizona Van Buren data center represents a major milestone in being the first out-of-state colocation footprint in our company’s history. Well known as the premier carrier hotel for the Phoenix metropolitan area, the Van Buren data center provides premium colocation space as part of a multiphase launch into the Arizona market. To ensure the highest levels of data center services, the facility includes a 2N UPS configuration, N+1 cooling infrastructure and 24x7x365 onsite security/support personnel.

The greater Phoenix, Arizona area was ranked by Risk and Insurance magazine as the 2nd safest city in the United States.

Positioned in a low-risk region like Phoenix for natural disasters, Van Buren adds to business continuity with a strategic location for seamless multisite deployments in the AIS network of data centers.
