Hosting infrastructure in a Tier 3 datacenter
Your applications run in isolated containers on Intel Dual Xeon servers at 3 GHz+ with enterprise NVMe, in a partner Tier 3 datacenter in New York certified ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Every plan includes up to 10 Gbps of network and L3/L4/L7 DDoS protection.

A Tier 3 datacenter in New York
Square Cloud hosts applications and databases in Telehouse New York Teleport, a partner Tier 3 datacenter on Staten Island. Power, cooling and access are all redundant.
- Address
- 7 Teleport Dr, Staten Island, NY 10311
- Floor area
- 15,050 m² (162,000 sq ft)
- Available power
- 10 MW from redundant utility feeds
- Certifications
- ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II
N+1 power
UPS systems and diesel generators keep the servers on when the utility fails, each with a spare unit.
- 6 diesel generators, 5,625 kVA in total
- A and B UPS systems, up to 4,700 kVA
- 48 h of fuel on site, deliveries within 24 h
Redundant cooling
The air conditioning runs in N+1: a spare unit takes over when another one stops.
- N+1 air-conditioning units
- Central HVAC monitoring
Physical security
Entry to the building is controlled and recorded around the clock.
- Security staff on site 24/7
- Card and biometric access
- Internal and external CCTV
Servers and isolation
Each application runs in its own container on servers with two Intel Xeon processors and enterprise NVMe storage. You choose the RAM; the dedicated vCPU follows from it and from your plan.
Intel Dual Xeon, 3 GHz+
Two Intel Xeon processors per server, clocked at 3 GHz or more, with dedicated vCPU for each environment.
- vCPU calculated from RAM and plan
- RAM changed in settings or via the API
Enterprise NVMe
Application files and databases sit on enterprise NVMe SSDs, made for high IOPS and sustained writes.
- The same storage on every plan
- Databases about 1 ms from your apps
Isolated containers
Square Orchestrator gives each application its own container, with its own memory, CPU and file system.
- No cold starts, automatic restart
- Load balancing across applications
Network and DDoS protection
The datacenter network runs on Juniper equipment, with transit from several Tier 1 carriers and 20 Tbps of capacity. The edge in front of your apps (CDN, TLS, WAF) is on the network page.
Transit carriers
- Hurricane Electric
- Arelion
- Cogent
- GTT
- Lumen
Up to 10 Gbps per server
Each server connects at up to 10 Gbps, and traffic has no bandwidth metering or per-request charges.
DDoS protection on L3, L4 and L7
Volumetric, protocol and application-layer attacks are filtered before they reach your container, on every plan, with no setup.
More than one carrier
Transit comes from several carriers, so routes don't depend on a single provider.
99.99% average observed uptime
Certifications
The datacenter that hosts Square Cloud is audited by third parties. The certifications cover the facility and its operation: power, access, monitoring and information security processes.
ISO 27001
The international standard for information security management: risks are assessed, and controls are documented and audited on a regular schedule.
SOC 2 Type II
An independent audit of security and availability controls, tested over a period of months rather than on a single day.
A plan for every stage of your project
