Sequestered Solutions has found that Alaska has a number of advantages that should draw customers in (Alaska Journal of Commerce).What is our Alaskan advantage? We have all the necessary geographical needs to easily provide a server/backup farm (S/BF) at substantially lower operating costs: Inexpensive available electrical power Alaska's Anchorage bowl has considerable excess power-generating capacity, a history of stable power, and the physical isolation to drastically limit the fault-propagation problems common in the lower-48. Reduced cooling requirements Alaska's cooler weather reduces cooling power and air-volume needs, leading to lower capital and operating costs -a yearly average savings of 73% over a farm operated in the Seattle area. Redundant broadband communications Four separate, fiber-optic, broadband cables connecting Alaska to the lower-48 converge in Anchorage, making for simple and economic connection. These cables "demarc" at SSA's facility. A secure operating environment Alaska is relatively isolated, with Anchorage being three to eight hours by air from 70% of the world's population, and is perceived as undeveloped, which diminishes the likelihood of attack, when in actuality Anchorage is a thriving, fast growing, high-tech community attractive to skilled employees. Close , secure storage for "off-site" backups Alaska has several vacant military installations and large mines easily convertible to inexpensive, readily securable, physically isolated redundant storage locations for archival data.
