About
Orion Data Centers backs its Columbia, MO colocation facility with a 230kW diesel generator and redundant CRAC cooling, delivering a claimed 99.999% power uptime for mission-critical commercial tenants. Located at Woodrail Center in Columbia, Orion positions itself as Mid-Missouri's premier data center, purpose-built for 24x7 e-commerce and enterprise workloads. For facility managers and property managers evaluating colocation or hybrid IT infrastructure in the mid-Missouri region, the facility's electrical infrastructure is a key differentiator: stable municipal grid power is augmented by generator backup and supported by dual 20-ton CRAC units, ensuring that power distribution and cooling redundancy meet the demands of continuous commercial operations. The data center's power, cooling, and network systems are designed to support a range of commercial building operators — from office and mixed-use property owners needing off-site server hosting to institutional and industrial clients requiring reliable, low-latency connectivity. Three network ISPs with fiber connectivity provide the bandwidth backbone, while escorted 24x7 on-call facility access and third-party monitored entry with SSAE-adapted procedures address the security requirements that commercial tenants and enterprise clients demand. Orion offers colocation, virtualization, and hybrid service packages on an à-la-carte basis, allowing general contractors, building operators, and IT-dependent commercial tenants to right-size their infrastructure spend. Leasing options are available, and the team provides hands-on systems administration assistance, plus shipping, receiving, and regional pickup and delivery. For Columbia-area facility managers seeking a locally managed, commercially hardened data center with proven generator backup and redundant power distribution, Orion Data Centers warrants serious evaluation.
