USSHC, a leading ultra secure data center

Welcome to Geek With A Box, the economy data suite on the USSHC campus.  We wanted to give people some of the advantages of the excellent physical and network security present at the USSHC campus, but with scaled back redundancy to reduce the cost.  It’s some of the advantages of being located at a data bunker, but without the costs of being IN a data bunker.  At GWAB you bring in your own rack and UPS (or if you need we can supply) we’ll get you set up with floor space, power, and network drops.  You’ll get 24/7 access with your own keycode for the external door and entry in the fingerprint scanner.  You’ll get web access to video monitoring for the suite as well. Basically, we were asked by lots of people – geeks- that just wanted a good place to colocate their box.  Geek with a Box was born.
Check out our Colocation page for more details on our standard plans, or contact us by one of the methods on the right to discuss something that’s not listed.

USSHC, a leading ultra secure data center company, has launched their Geek With A Box data suite service for economical colocationOnline

PR News – 19-January-2011 –The Geek With A Box product allows USSHC to utilize the extensive infrastructure of our ultra secure underground data center to create low cost suites available for colocation use on other parts of the campus. This allows entrepreneurs and smaller businesses a low cost option for colocation, whether they want to colocate a single server, a rack, or lease an entire turnkey suite.

"We're very excited to offer our clients and fresh startups a way to work with us outside of our usual secured site. One implementation we've already worked on is using our Geek With A Box space for less critical equipment and providing a direct fiber cross connection to another space in our underground nuclear bunker site for databases, backups, and other systems that require an even higher level of reliability," said Isaac Helgens, Project and Marketing Director of USSHC. "We are excited to be flexible enough to make these two very separate products work either together or on their own and provide a new, lower cost opportunity for our clients.

The cost of redundancy and the quest for increased uptime can be stifling to a smaller business or a startup. "The ability to have the best of both worlds without paying a premium is important to these companies just getting off the ground and we think it's a great way to help promote their growth and expansion."
