The Transtech Data Center is located in Billings, Montana. The facility contains all the elements of a Tier II facility, including a redundant backup generator, raised flooring, a robust network, industrial cooking and environmentally friendly fire suppression systems. The walls of the Data Center were built with Homeland Security blast proof walls. The Transtech Data Center has a redundant loop fiber line with connections at two separate corporate offices.

The facility was built in an environmentally conscious manner, operating efficiently by utilizing the four metrics of green IT :
 * Deploy Energy Efficient Hardware - The hardware is carefully selected and delivers the highest computing performance per Watt of power consumption.
 * Optimize IT Strategy - The IT architecture was developed and implemented to best achieve availability, reliability, and performance while reducing energy use.
 * Reduce Physical Infrastructure Overhead - The data center maximizes available power to reduce site infrastructure overhead while still achieving appropriate levels of uptime.
 * Utilize Assets Effectively - Only the necessary servers run when necessary, enabling all power-save features, and making extensive use of virtualization software.

The Transtech Data Center leases entire suites, cages, cabinets, or racks in any combination. Security at the data center is multi-tiered, including RFID cards, passwords and iris scans for building and suite access. Security cameras encompass the surroundings, inside and out.

HISTORY
Montana is an ideal location for a data center, due to an ample power supply and extremely low incidence of natural disasters. For this reason, among others, a local entrepreneur amassed large quantities of land on the west end of the city to build the high-tech business park that is known as the Transtech Center. The Transtech Center includes many businesses and buildings as well as ponds, streams, bike and pedestrian trails.
