M5 HOSTING DATA CENTERS:
SAN DIEGO LIGHTWAVE AVENUE (LWDC)
M5 Hosting has a presence in two of San Diego’s premier colocation facilities: The San Diego Tech Center and Lightwave Avenue.
Both of M5 Hosting’s San Diego data centers provide for all planned maintenance to be performed with zero impact on operations. They are both SAS-70 Type II certified and audited annually.
M5 Hosting maintains a private, leased, dark fiber transport connection between the two San Diego data centers. Each San Diego data center has its own redundant Internet connectivity in addition to the private, high-speed, transport between facilities. The two San Diego facilities are 13 miles (21km) apart.
M5 Hosting’s Data Center on San Diego’s Lightwave Avenue is an 80,000 square-foot facility located in the San Diego Spectrum area of San Diego, California. This facility has a long history of securely housing some of the most critical applications in San Diego: US Department of Defense, 911 Emergency, Public Safety, Law Enforcement and Department of Corrections.
