    Inland Fiber & Data's hardened, carrier grade facilities include existing data center, disaster recovery and Internet gateway office suites, shell data center and colocation suites, existing rack space and build-to-suit data center pad sites, with a highly redundant infrastructure, provides an ideal host site for FLR.
