A select group of students recently accompanied Dr. Peter DePasquale to the Net Access Parsippany I data center. There they viewed first hand the security, power, cooling, fail safe and logistics operations that entail running a large scale data center. This 30,000 square feet facility provides 20kW high density fully closed computing cabinets for leading companies to co-locate their computing assets on site. The tour was offered as part of the Spring 2015 Cloud Computing Special Topics class and allows the students to engage with computing professionals outside of the campus bounds.
Founded in 1995, Net Access is an industry leading provider of data center services delivering secure, reliable and flexible colocation, cloud, network and managed solutions to IT intensive businesses.
