Equinix CU3
18155 Technology Drive, Culpeper, VA, 22701, US
Equinix CU3, Building C at 18155 Technology Drive in Culpeper, Virginia, is the smallest of the campus's four data halls at 39,536 sq ft of colocation, yet it carries the 5 kVA minimum cabinet density that CU1 and CU2 (4 kVA) do not. Its cooling plant is N+2 with hot/cold aisle containment and a high-density cooling option; UPS and generators are N+1 with 30-plus hours of autonomy at full load. The hall is a purpose-built secure facility on the Equinix Government Solutions campus 60 miles from Washington, D.C. Certifications attested for the building are SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 9001, PCI DSS, HIPAA and NIST 800-53/FISMA High. One product gap: Secure Cabinet Express is not offered at CU3, so entry is by private cage. Interconnection runs over Equinix Fabric, Fabric Cloud Router, Internet Access, Internet Exchange, Metro Connect and Cross Connects.
