BUILT FOR BROWARD COUNTY

Broward colocation infrastructure, inside your own county

Volico operates FLL1 at 500 Green Rd. in Pompano Beach, so Broward colocation customers get a HIPAA, SSAE16, SOC 2 Type II, and NIST compliant facility close to their offices. Businesses in Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Coral Springs, Plantation, Sunrise, and Davie colocate here rather than driving 45 to 60 minutes to downtown Miami.

On-site security, 24/7/365

Guards require valid photo ID from every visitor when they arrive.

Key card building access

Required when you use the elevators or enter the data center floor.

Biometric colocation access

You need a key card plus a hand scan when you enter colocation space.

FLL1 is a Tier IV enterprise class data center. You can read how the levels differ in Uptime Institute’s Tier standard. It serves organizations across South Florida, including Broward County, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach. Managed services cover monitoring, security, backups, and 24/7 remote hands support from certified technicians. Customers who want Volico’s team to run day to day operations can also add software installation, hardware support, and network design.

Colocation options at FLL1

Colocation at FLL1 comes in quarter racks, half racks, full racks, and custom cages, so you can start small and grow. A quarter rack fits a small deployment, for example a handful of servers and networking gear supporting a single application. A half or full rack suits a growing IT footprint, especially when a company consolidates several offices into one facility. Custom cages give larger deployments dedicated, lockable floor space instead of shared cabinet rows. 2N+X redundant power and cooling runs throughout the facility. The network is carrier neutral, so no single provider controls your connectivity.

Because FLL1 carries HIPAA, SSAE16, SOC 2 Type II, and NIST compliance, it suits healthcare organizations handling patient records, financial services firms with SOC 2 audit requirements, and government contractors that need NIST aligned controls. Standard enterprise and e-commerce workloads also run here.

Broward County sits far enough inland to avoid coastal storm surge risk. It is also close to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the county’s business corridors, which helps with site visits, equipment deliveries, and in-person support.

Broward colocation FAQ

How is FLL1 different from a Miami colocation facility? FLL1 sits inland rather than in downtown Miami, so Broward and northern Miami-Dade businesses skip the drive to the NAP of the Americas corridor. It carries the same Tier IV, category five hurricane resistant construction standard, so the trade-off is location, not build quality. Compare it with our Miami colocation facility.

Can I tour FLL1 before signing a contract? Yes. Volico offers both in-person and virtual tours of the Broward County facility, so you can see the space before you sign. Use the form below when you are ready to set a date.

What size deployment fits a quarter rack versus a cage? A quarter rack typically covers a single application when it runs on a handful of servers. Choose a cage when a deployment outgrows a single cabinet and needs dedicated, lockable floor space. Volico’s team can size a deployment against your actual hardware list before you sign a contract.
