Datacenter


Seattle IDC Sea01

Seattle Skyline from Kerry Park

BitPusher's main datacenter is Sea01 at 12101 International Blvd in Seattle. We moved the majority of our technical infrastructure from San Francisco to Seattle in Q2 of 2007. Sea01 is a state of the art datacenter constructed to 250 watts per square ft, N+2 on all major power and cooling systems, and N+1 on all major connectivity systems.

Sea01 is located in Sabey's Intergate.West campus. Intergate.West was purpose built as a Tech Flex Class A office park. Construction was completed in 2000. Situated conveniently near both highway 99 and 5, it is located two miles away from Seatac airport, and four miles from downtown Seattle. It is walking distance from the new lightrail to be completed in 2009.
