Applied Innovations understands that in order to deliver premium hosting services, the facility and
network these services run on are secure, robust, and redundant. To that end, AI has positioned
itself at one of the premium datacenters in the world, and engineered its hosting network for low
latency, maximum uptime, and multi-layered security.
AI operates within the Miami NAP of the Americas. The Miami NAP is the 6th public Network
Access Point on the Internet, home to DNS root servers, over 60 Tier1 providers, Emergency 911 operations, and US State Department Operations. The facility is considered part of the critical
infrastructure of our nation, and is properly provisioned as such. |
