A Security Solution for RagingWire’s World-Class Data Center

Back in 2000, long before becoming part of NTT Communications’ global data center platform, RagingWire Data Centers was a pioneer in building the multi-billion-dollar data center colocation industry — in which multiple tenants could power and secure their computing systems within a shared facility. Over the years, RagingWire’s colocation model expanded to deliver large scale, build-to-suit wholesale data center solutions.​

Today, RagingWire has approximately 2 million square feet of data center infrastructure on campuses in Ashburn, Virginia; Dallas, Texas; and Northern California, with growth plans in these locations and other top North American data center markets. RagingWire enables its hyperscale and enterprise customers to reach international markets as well as scale up as needed by leveraging the global presence of its parent company, NTT, one of the world’s largest information and communications technology solutions providers with 140 data centers in 20 countries and regions.​

Since inception, RagingWire has delivered high levels of security, professionalism and customer service for its wide range of customers. They have used AMAG Technology’s Symmetry Access Control System for several years. During RagingWire’s rapid growth, Symmetry has easily expanded to each new data center, regardless of its location.
