ReadyWire Multimedia Solutions

ReadyWire Multimedia Solutions is a family owned and operated business based out of Chicago, IL USA.  Founded in 2001, our main objective then was to provide high quality website design services.  Fast forward six years later, we're here today offering fast and affordable website hosting, stream hosting, and now Internet SideChannels.  (Photo Left: ReadyWire Corporate Offices -- Chicago, IL USA)

In September 2008, ReadyWire announced that it had acquired competing hosting company, HostLayer.  This acquisition positions ReadyWire to be a powerful leader in the web hosting industry.

ReadyWire was founded by webmasters, and everyone here loves hosting, technology and the Internet.

ReadyWire's Chicago data center is located inside the Chicago Board of Trading Building (CBOT). The CBOT is one of the worlds largest financial institutions and is fully redundant in its power supply and communications other amenities include elaborate security and surveillance systems.

Unique features

• The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) is the only building in Chicago to draw power from 6 different city substations which virtually ensures a continuous and reliable power supply. As one of the largest financial centers in the world, the CBOT's power supply is fully redundant
• The security in the CBOT is very extensive and is regularly patrolled by Chicago Police Officers, not some inexperienced and incapable security guard.
• In our Chicago data center, we currently operates a network with 81+ Gbps connectivity to the Internet. There are 2 separate fiber entry points for complete IP transport redundancy.

Chicago?  Why Chicago?
Typically, when one thinks of Chicago, mobsters and Michael Jordon come to mind...not the "Datacenter Capital of the World." However, Chicago is one of the most connected cities in the world, and it's central location makes it the optimum location for serving Internet content. Chicago serves as one of North America's largest Internet hubs and is home to every major network provider. Most of the fiber optics that connect the East and West coasts of the United States run through Chicago and this yields low latency to both coasts as well as to Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

Green Chicago
Chicago was recently rated the greenest city in the US for data center locations. A recent study showed Chicago was much more energy efficient and produced only a small fraction of carbon emissions than other data center locations. Chicago was also recently ranked one of the safest cities in the United States with a very low risk for natural disasters ahead of other cities in Texas, California, Florida and the East Coast - all of which have a much greater risk for hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and floods than Chicago.
