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.

  • Isolated containers

    Square Orchestrator gives each application its own container, with its own memory, CPU and file system.

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 each application gets dedicated bandwidth that grows with its RAM and is never shared with neighbors. 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.

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.

Infrastructure questions

Where are Square Cloud's servers?

In Telehouse New York Teleport, a partner Tier 3 datacenter at 7 Teleport Dr, Staten Island, New York. Applications and databases run in the same datacenter, about 1 ms apart.

What hardware runs my application?

Servers with Intel Dual Xeon processors at 3 GHz or more, enterprise NVMe SSDs and up to 10 Gbps of network per server. Each environment gets dedicated vCPU calculated from its RAM and plan.

Is my application isolated from other customers?

Yes. Each application runs in its own isolated container, with its own memory, CPU and file system, so other customers can't read your files or use your resources.

Is DDoS protection included?

Yes, on every plan and with no setup: attacks on layers 3, 4 and 7 are filtered before they reach your container, and web traffic also goes through a WAF.

Which certifications does the datacenter have?

ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Both cover the datacenter facility, which also has N+1 power and cooling and security staff on site 24/7.

What uptime can I expect?

The platform's average observed uptime is 99.99%, and the public status page shows it live. On Enterprise, a custom SLA can be discussed.

Which plans run on this infrastructure?

All of them. Hobby, Standard, Pro and Enterprise use the same datacenter, NVMe storage, network and DDoS protection; plans differ in RAM, vCPU and features. Every plan is paid, starting with Hobby.
