Wholesale Internet INC.: Kansas City Data Center 01

Located at 2401 Holly St., Kansas City, Missouri 64108, the Kansas City Data Center #1 operated by Wholesale Internet is a carrier-neutral colocation facility nestled in a key metro area of the U.S. Midwest. The facility is designed to support dedicated servers, rack colocation and enterprise-grade infrastructure needs with strong emphasis on network performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness. 

What sets this site apart is its location in downtown Kansas City — providing dense network transit, access to major carriers and the ability for businesses to tap into low-latency connectivity while leveraging an operator known for budget-friendly dedicated server offerings. 

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Redundancy & Power: The facility features three independent utility feeds from Kansas City Power & Light (KCP&L)
• UPS battery systems provide interim power in case of utility failure, followed by a 400 kW diesel generator with ground-level fuel access allowing indefinite runtime. 
• Cooling Architecture: Equipped with N+1 HVAC units to maintain temperature and humidity levels suitable for 24/7 server operations.
• Scalability: Offers 1U increments in shared space, half-rack, full-rack and custom locked cabinets. 
• Support Services: 24/7 support staff, remote-hands service and network monitoring are available to support both colocation and dedicated-server deployments. 
• Network Focus: The operator emphasises “blended BGP” bandwidth, multiple upstream providers and low-latency transit services, indicating that the infrastructure supports not just colocation but network-centric deployments. 

🔐 Security & Compliance

• Access & Surveillance: 24×7 video surveillance of the entire facility, including elevator lobbies and access points. Biometric access (hand scanners) and proximity card entry are implemented at all critical access doors.
• Power Infrastructure Safety: Fuel access on the ground level for generator refuelling ensures continuity of power supply in extended outage scenarios. 
• Fire Protection: Fire-suppression systems and other critical infrastructure protections are described, though exact suppression standards are not publicly detailed in the sources. 

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• Carrier-Neutral: The Kansas City Data Center #1 allows tenants to choose from multiple carriers and network providers; it operates in a major fiber transit building. 
• Diverse Fiber Entry: Located in a downtown fiber-rich building (historic Oak Tower at 324 E 11th St is referenced in connection to Wholesale Internet’s other facility) which enables multiple fiber routes and network resilience.
• Cross-Connect & Peering: Free cross-connects are offered, and the facility peered with the Kansas City Internet eXchange (KCIX) as well as major upstream providers. 
• Metro Network Reach: Situated in the central U.S., offering good regional reach and potential latency advantages for cloud, CDN or network-infrastructure deployments.
