Ballantyne Hosting utilizes multiple data centers in Seattle, Dallas, and Washington D.C., that are built on a unique pod data center design concept.  These data centers are functionally independent with distinct and redundant resources, and fully integrated with revolutionary network architecture, allowing seamless intra-data center capabilities. We have direct control over our systems in any data center and full access to all backend services—all fully automated and on demand.  A crew of highly trained engineers are available to provide on-site, enterprise-class services in the event a non-automated function is needed.  The data centers are SSAE16 compliant, meeting industry-recognized requirements for security and reliability.  An exhaustive, third-party certification assessment included extensive testing of the control objectives and activities, including oversight by executive management, operations and customer service, development and information technology organization, human resources policies and procedures, and risk assessment monitoring.
