⚙️ Facility Highlights

Data Center Footprint:

Parsec operates a commercial data center located on the Transtech Center campus / business park in Billings, Montana.

Published facility specs describe four separate leasable colocation suites, along with build-to-suit secure cage environments and cabinet-based deployments.

Facility Design & Infrastructure:

Electrical design is described with commercial power backed by standby generators, dual substation feed availability, and redundant battery backup systems.

Environmental systems are documented with N+1 cooling components (e.g., Liebert drycoolers/chillers), and clean-agent fire suppression (Fike / Ecaro-25 / FE-25).

Physical construction and access controls are described with raised flooring, hardened exterior walls, mantraps, multi-factor access controls (including iris scanning), and monitored video surveillance.

Service Portfolio Overview:

Colocation: Public/private/hybrid rack configurations plus secure cage and cabinet options; the facility is positioned for regulated workloads and compliance-focused hosting.

Cloud / Virtual Servers: Virtual server offerings are documented on VMware vSphere (ESXi), with HA/FT capabilities referenced in the technical spec overview.

Backup & DR: Backup services are described using Veeam, including Cloud Connect licensing, with DR packages built around colocation plus private/public/hybrid cloud options.

🔐 Security & Compliance

Infrastructure Resilience:

Colocation is described as designed for N+1 power, environmental, connectivity, and security controls, with UPS/battery backups and diesel generators.

Cloud and support materials describe SLAs up to 100% for certain services.

Physical & Logical Security:

Physical security controls described include mantraps, multi-factor authentication, biometric (iris) scanning for interior suite access, locked cages/cabinets, and 24x7 monitoring of key conditions (temperature/humidity/power plus fire/water detection).

Managed security services include managed IDS/IPS and managed firewall offerings, described as deployable in shared or private configurations for customer environments (colocation, managed cloud, and managed internet environments).

Compliance & Standards:

Parsec states it has obtained/maintained SOC 2 Type II, PCI, and HIPAA compliances; colocation materials also reference PCI-DSS Level 1 service provider positioning and SOC 2 Type II auditing language.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

Carrier Neutrality:

Connectivity is described as vendor-neutral and engineered to blend up to five carriers for performance and availability.

Network Capabilities:

Facility technical specs describe redundant diverse fiber paths, multiple carrier connections, and an access-controlled meet-me/electrical room.

Parsec is listed on PeeringDB under ASN AS11512.

Connectivity Use Cases:

Multi-carrier connectivity is positioned for high availability and low-latency national reach, including linking workloads across the Billings facility, other data centers, and customer on-prem environments.
