20+ Years of Responsive Customer Service

QuadraNet was founded in 2001 on the principle of personalized, responsive customer service. We started as a telecommunications provider in Los Angeles, but as our clients’ needs grew and changed, we adapted and expanded our service offerings. Today, we are a full-service data center provider offering hybrid infrastructure: colocation, dedicated servers, private cloud, and complex hosting solutions.

Network of Data Centers for Performance and Resiliency

We have nine data centers, eight in the U.S. and one in Europe: Los Angeles (two data centers), Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New Jersey, Seattle and Amsterdam. This distributed network enables us to maximize redundancy, provide resiliency, and enhance performance.

We’re headquartered in Los Angeles, directly adjacent to the One Wilshire building, which has been called “the world’s most connected data-center building” due to its large concentration of fiber from various backbones and internet peers. We have a private collection of over 400 fiber strands entering the One Wilshire Meet-Me-Room to our private cage.

To increase efficiency and reduce costs, an air-side economizer brings outside air into our buildings and distributes it to the servers. If the outside air is particularly cold, the economizer may mix it with the exhaust air to bring its temperature and humidity within the desired range. Instead of being recirculated and cooled, the exhaust air is simply directed outside .

Careers

QuadraNet is experiencing tremendous growth and we’re always looking for talented individuals to join our team.

Our fantastic staff is the reason we’ve grown exponentially since 2001. If you love a challenge, are committed to excellence, and want to make a difference for customers, please contact us.
