Our Bothell Data Center is outfitted with state of the art Fire Detection/Suppression systems.

We operate VESDA systems in tandem with our “Dry Pipe” Pre-action delayed fire suppression systems.

They are zoned to the row and ensure efficient delivery. Here we are testing the systems to ensure proper operation.

Cell phone amplifying antenna's

Cell phone amplifying antenna's

Early on the Kanobe Data Center team realized that cellular communications were spotty.
The facility is essentially all steel and concrete. Communications with our “smart hands” staff on the data center floor are quintessential for speedy resolution of technical issues. We contracted a firm to install cellular amplification antenna’s in every room of the data center.
We are quite happy with the quality of communications even in the deepest parts of the facility.

Kanobe took on a new client who required SIP trunks to fully function with their Mitel 3300 system.

Our team worked with Firstline to rack up and fully test the Mitel system.

We are proud to say all systems are go!

This client will be able to enjoy the great features and phones that Mitel provides with the combined call quality of the Kanobe Network and massive savings our SIP trunks can bring.

Thanks to the dedicated guys at Firstline for their focused attention to making this work.

North end Fiber Vault

Installing our North end Fiber Vault

One of the many reasons we built our data center in it’s current location is that the  North end of our facility is very close to the North side Seattle fiber ring. We built this vault to accommodate the fiber pull in from the ring. Almost every piece of fiber that hits the Westin is on this ring.

Owning the the Fiber vault to the end of our campus makes it easier for us to accommodate customer dedicated data circuits to their co-located space.
