Community partners collaborating with first responders in Silicon Valley

Being a responsible and active community member is critical to running an effective data center operation. It helps to ensure that we can provide a safe, secure and positive experience for our clients and their people. For example, at our data centers, we make it a priority to create strong, professional partnerships with local first responders. Data centers are specialized and complex, and in the event of an emergency, they may be difficult to navigate if someone is unfamiliar with the environment. So, we offer tours, conduct drills and maintain consistent dialog with first responders in order to give them the tools they need to be as effective as possible if or when incidents occur.

Recently, our Silicon Valley data center facility (SV1) hosted the Santa Clara Fire Department (SCFD) for a very special training exercise: a confined space rescue drill. Watch the video.
