This video provides a tour of the DRFortress data center in Honolulu, nicknamed The Fort. DRFortress consists of former Equinix employees who bought the Equinix Honolulu facility in December 2006 and spent nine months upgrading the facility. The $5 million expansion has more than doubled the size of the data center to 21,000 square feet. This video runs just under four minutes.
