ViaWest announced today that its Lone Mountain data center, located in Las Vegas, Nevada, is officially registered as a hosting center with the State of Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB). This registration enables licensed gaming entities to operate gaming devices, cashless wagering systems, race book and sports pool operations within the facility.
ViaWest’s Lone Mountain facility is the colocation industry’s only Tier IV design-certified data center in North America, as designated by the Uptime Institute. The Tier IV designation certifies that, when built to design specifications, the Lone Mountain facility is completely fault-tolerant and capable of withstanding an unplanned event such as a 
fire, explosion or water leak, or failure of any power or cooling equipment, without any impact to IT equipment.
Lone Mountain offers over 70,000 square feet of raised floor space. Meeting the NGCB’s rigorous requirements and gaining this new designation assures licensed gaming entities of the highest availability and security when they outsource their critical data and disaster recovery infrastructures to ViaWest in the Lone Mountain facility.
“As a registered hosting center, ViaWest can continue its positive contribution to the Las Vegas economy by housing business-critical operations for the gaming industry,” states Michael Vignato, Las Vegas General Manager and Regional Vice President for ViaWest. “Lone Mountain, has ample space to serve this growing industry and offers the highest levels of fault tolerance, security and energy efficiency.”
