Why choose Chicago for colocation?

What security measures does the Chicago facility provide?
Multi-layer physical and environmental security: 24/7 on-site engineers, CCTV surveillance, badge-based access control, private locking cabinets and cages, and VESDA early smoke detection with pre-action suppression.
