Horizon Data Center Solutions Launches Secure Cloud Computing Platform Called FlexSafe Cloud, Expanding their Infrastructure as a Service Business

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) September 14, 2009

Horizon Data Center Solutions, a leading data center and IT flexsourcing firm serving businesses and government agencies with colocation, disaster recovery and managed IT services, has launched its cloud computing solution, called FlexSafe Cloud.

FlexSafe Cloud is a private, secure approach to cloud computing that meets the needs of organizations that want the flexibility, scalability and cost savings of virtualization, but that also require the security of a private computing platform.

FlexSafe Cloud is part of Horizon’s strategy to fill a gap in the marketplace by providing flexible, full-service IT outsourcing options that can serve the enterprise client as well as small and medium sized businesses. The company pioneered the concept with its DCFlexSpace colocation model and has continued to expand available IT services to meet client demand.

Horizon says the FlexSafe Cloud delivers immediate benefits for Software as a Service (SaaS) companies, e-commerce businesses with applications that experience fluctuating transaction volumes, financial firms, government agencies, and other entities that want the greater efficiencies and cost savings of virtualization without giving up security.

Chuck Smith, Executive Vice President with Horizon and the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, says that, while the industry debates the actual definition of cloud computing, Horizon has adopted the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) working definition, with its key characteristics of on-demand self-service, ubiquitous network access, ability to rapidly scale resources and pay on a measured-usage basis.

“Our growing list of federal clients made it a logical decision to adopt the NIST working definition of the cloud,” says Smith.

Smith says the FlexSafe Cloud is highly scalable and based upon Horizon’s Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering. Beginning with Tier III data centers, the Horizon IaaS solution is built on leading edge technology providers like Above Net, Cisco, F5 Networks and HP. The FlexSafe Cloud service is virtualized using VMware, and provides the High Availability (HA) performance and security levels required by enterprise data center customers. HDCS currently has two DFW area data centers, providing fast, reliable data backup and replication solutions.

“We believe that the large public cloud providers like Amazon and Google have done an excellent job of supporting the testing and development world, so there’s no need for us to pursue the public cloud. For government and enterprise clients, private clouds are where we can add significant value,” Smith says. The company will also offer community cloud solutions for entities with multiple businesses.

Horizon CEO, Lance A. Smith adds, “Our current clients appreciate our highly secure, reliable data center infrastructure and have asked us to provide this service. We are pleased to extend our relationships with them, while at the same time offering an option that represents our continued charge to fill the gap in the IT outsourcing market between the very large, global IT outsourcing companies and traditional hosting companies. With the FlexSafe Cloud option, the latest development in our fast-paced growth strategy, Horizon continues to be among the leaders in the data center market.”

For more information, contact Chuck Smith, Chief Marketing Officer, at 214 556 4138 or Connie Holubar at 903 880 8217. Corporate offices for Horizon can be reached at 972 509 0110.

Horizon Data Center Solutions Launches Secure Cloud Computing Platform Called FlexSafe Cloud, Expanding their Infrastructure as a Service Business

KDSA Offers New Data Center Model For Hosted Services

North Andover, Mass. (PRWEB) October 1, 2009

KDSA Data Center Services, LLC (http://www.kdsadatacenter.com) has announced that it now offers vaulted internet backup, co-location and application hosting services at multiple Tier 1 data centers in Massachusetts. As a result, KDSA can provide security, reliability and redundancy for mission-critical applications, such as email, and data to customers in a wide range of industries.

While other companies offer co-location services, KDSA’s model is unique in the industry. KDSA will help support and manage your co-located equipment. Additionally, many data centers will generally not lease less than half a cabinet to a company, which makes the cost of using the center cost-prohibitive to smaller companies. Conversely, KDSA will allow companies to lease only the space they need – as little as the space to accommodate a single server. Economically, this puts the co-location concept well within reach of most small and mid-sized companies.

The concept of utilizing an off-site data center is not a new one. For a single monthly fee, customers get a well-protected, redundant location for critical servers and applications with minimal downtime. KDSA’s hosted option, however, takes the data center concept one important step further. In fact, according to Dawn Mortimer, principal and co-founder of KDSA Data Center Services, LLC, the creation of the new data center hosting services was a natural outgrowth of the traditional co-located center.

“We saw a need in smaller to mid-size companies that couldn’t afford their own equipment and that really needed the benefits associated with being located in a data center, specifically high availability and redundancy,” said Mortimer, who also serves as principal of KDSA Consulting, LLC (http://www.kdsaconsulting.com).

KDSA is offering a “soup-to-nuts” solution. The company not only provides the necessary space, but all the bandwidth, power, networking, servers, and storage equipment. In doing so, KDSA can save companies the capital expense of building and outfitting their own on-site server rooms. Ultimately, the new, highly scalable center is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses, for which the cost of building and maintaining their own server room or replacing aging equipment would be prohibitive.

“The connection between the hosted equipment and customer’s own on-site equipment is seamless,” said Mortimer. “Essentially, we are maintaining each customer’s existing network over a long cable. It’s a fully integrated, auditable solution that allows our customers to stretch out their on-site services. And we can maintain all compliance and security protocols.”

The center will prove especially attractive to companies with multiple sites, those that centrally store all of their equipment and confidential information in a single corporate facility; for these companies, a disaster at the corporate facility might cause disruption of IT services at all of the company’s remote sites. In fact, diesel generators at the data center begin operating in the event of a service interruption. As a result of this and other preventive measures, KDSA boasts a service uptime of over 99%.

Combined with KDSA’s disaster recovery capabilities, mission-critical data and applications can be effectively protected, ensuring business continuity. What’s more, clients can opt for a variety of additional managed services, including online backup, e-mail archiving, spam filtering, firewall management, and disaster recovery.

No Limits Software announces integration of the full line of Eaton rack power distribution units (PDUs) with their RaMP data center management solution.

Eaton offers a full line of rack PDUs with network connectivity designed to provide enterprise class distribution, monitoring and control for a data center. The rack PDU is the last link in the power chain, which makes it a strategic point to monitor power usage of the IT load for calculating power usage effectiveness (PUE). Eaton rack PDUs offer the capability to measure outlet-level power usage and report that information to a DCIM software solution.

“Data center managers are increasingly concerned with measuring and reducing power consumption,” said Joe Skorjanec, ePDU product manager, Eaton Distributed Power Solutions. “In addition to providing analytics to maximize capacity and efficiency, No Limits Softwares integration of Eaton PDUs with its RaMP solution adds a visual depiction of power at the rack and data center level.”

Its important for RaMP to be a vendor-neutral management platform for the data center, said Dave Cole, President of No Limits Software. We enjoy working with companies like Eaton because the quality of their products is well known in the industry.

The RaMP DCIM solution provides the following benefits:

Auto-discovery of detailed device information
Power and environmental monitoring down to the device level
Server monitoring to identify servers which should be retired, virtualized or consolidated
Software and operating system license management
Automated change control to reduce MTTR and increase availability
Web services API provides integration with other systems
PUE, DCiE and CADE energy management calculations
More accurate capacity planning data helps to reduce stranded power and shutdown risks
Device type roll-up views provide an easy way to quickly compare device performance
Enhanced rack views (device type, status, power usage, front and rear temperature
Tracking and alerting on data center tasks
Calculation of power usage at the rack PDU level without requiring an intelligent rack PDU
Enhanced visual data center editor makes it easy to design and edit the data center layout

Latisys Announces Further Expansion Of Suburban Chicago Data Center

Oak Brook, IL (PRWEB) July 14, 2010

Latisys, a leading provider of colocation, managed hosting, managed services and disaster recovery solutions, today announced a significant expansion of its Chicago-area data center facility in Oak Brook. The expanded facility, Latisys CH2, will now provide customers in the Chicago metro area and surrounding Midwest markets with approximately 136,000 gross square feet of space.

The expanded facility is tied directly to existing fiber carriers in the building, will be monitored 24x7x365 by on-site NOC personnel and systems, and will be operated under SAS70 Type II procedures. The expansion space comes equipped with 32,000 square feet of immediately available, raised floor datacenter space, as well as an initial 5 MW of utility power and 1.2 MW of generator power which will be upgraded in early 2011.

Latisys continues to see consistent and growing demand in the Chicago-area and each of its geographically diverse markets among industry-leading organizations ranging from Fortune 500 firms, mid-sized organizations and government agencies for its managed hosting, medium/high density colocation and disaster recovery services.

Facility expansion at our Chicago-area data center colocation facility isnt just about supporting new customers, but ensuring that existing Latisys customers have the scalability, flexibility and agility they need to grow and thrive, said Kevin Knight, Regional Sales Director, Latisys-Chicago. Throughout the Chicago area, power and space remain at a premium, which is why more companies are choosing to outsource their IT infrastructure to Latisys.

A number of key economic, business and regional factors are driving customer demand for Latisys colocation and managed services at the suburban Chicago data center:

National Trust for Historic Preservation to Select InfoRelay for Data Center and Connectivity Requirements

Washington, DC (Vocus) August 10, 2010

The National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) has signed an agreement with InfoRelay Online Systems, Inc. to provide it with secure data center space, bandwidth, and IP connectivity to its headquarters located in downtown Washington, DC..

NTHP, a not-for-profit membership organization, faced unique challenges with its legacy data center, which was originally built to support legacy systems that were very large in size. NTHP’s legacy data center lacked fire suppression, diesel generators, and other redundant systems to ensure adequate cooling, connectivity, and safety.

Our room had been sized for the old days (large – before virtual servers). The core of the room was now simply two racks filled with virtual servers and a SAN and lots of extra space to cool. The space housing our racks was in the basement near a water main, both its legacy AC systems were failing, it had no fire suppression, and no backup generator. We started the design of new space in another part of the building, but the costs of relocation became prohibitive especially considering we were just looking to support two dense racks of equipment , said Michael Corcoran, the Director of Information Technology for the National Trust.

InfoRelay, a company that provides custom IP connectivity, disaster recovery, and secure server colocation solutions developed a unique solution that would meet NTHP’s technical requirements while remaining withing the budget allocated to their project. Mr. Corcoran commented: We had worked with InfoRelay for about a year (to support our DR equipment) and have been pleased with their service. Once we presented the issue to our InfoRelay Sales Engineer, we found a way to bring Gigabit Ethernet to the location. We then realized that all the resources we would have had to pay so much for were part of the services InfoRelay offers. Their Reston location is easy for us to get to and far enough from the downtown DC core to be a more secure location for our production environment. Their pricing was aggressive and very reasonable.

According to InfoRelay, the project is going to take approximately 120 days to fully build out, but it will consist of providing dark fiber from Massachusetts Avenue in Washington D.C. back to the InfoRelay data center environment located in Reston, Virginia, a well known technology corridor which is home to many Fortune 100 and 500 companies. By lighting the dark fiber at 1Gbps (1,000 Megabits per second), NTHP was able to not only improve their local IP connectivity (Internet bandwidth), but is able to effectively ensure that internal servers still appear local to its offices, despite being housed remotely. Custom-engineered gigabit Ethernet between NTHP’s headquarters and the InfoRelay data center make this possible. Not only will NTHP be able to utilize a full 100Mbps of IP connectivity locally at their Northern Virginia environment to the outside world, they will be able to reach speeds of 100Mbps at their Headquarters, AND still have enough capacity on their dark fiber to handle all of their internal applications between the two sites. It’s a win-win situation. stated Joseph Vajda, a senior network engineer with InfoRelay.

Custom Storage Partners with Elliptical Mobile Solutions to Deliver Micro-Modular Data Center Solutions

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) August 13, 2010

Custom Storage, a leading provider of data storage solutions that protect and manage organizations mission-critical data, today announced a strategic relationship with Elliptical Mobile Solutions (EMS) to deliver its cost-effective, energy efficient and flexible data centers to Custom Storage clients.

EMS is the only company in the world that delivers Micro-Modular Data Centers at the rack level with onboard cooling, security and fire suppression. These mobile data centers will allow Custom Storage clients to instantly obtain easy-to-move data centers without the cost of retro-fitting or remodeling.

Todays data center is dramatically different than yesterdays data center, said Larry Gentry, president of Custom Storage. Servers and equipment today generate substantially more heat than older equipment, so cooling has become a major challenge for existing data centers. EMS mobile data center solutions contain a built-in, patented cooling system which can reduce cooling costs by up to 80% over a traditional data center model. This enables our clients to significantly reduce costs when theyre rebuilding, retrofitting or relocating their data center, adding another location or setting up off-site replication or disaster recovery.

Custom Storage is a dedicated to offering ‘best-in-class’ storage solutions to a broad client base, said Tony Cole, vice president of North American sales for Elliptical Mobile Solutions. We are pleased that they have been able to embrace our products as the most advanced options for merging data center storage and infrastructure into a convenient and cost-effective solution for clients.

Custom Storage will deliver two EMS mobile data center solutions:

Beyond the Data Center: Emerson Network Power Survey Reveals Top IT Concerns Inside Hospitals in North America

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) November 3, 2010

Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity, today announced results of its 2010 survey on IT and facility issues inside the hospital. The survey results, which include responses from North America-based professionals in IT management/IT operations, data center management and facilities management, reported budget, power requirements and availability as top concerns.

Other notable results from the survey included:

More than half of respondents upgraded their healthcare facility’s power and cooling infrastructure when implementing new technologies like Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)/network communications and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), showing a correlation between the importance of power and cooling infrastructure and the reliance on IT systems.
More than one-half of patient rooms are not supported by any uninterruptible power source, and just 28 percent of operating rooms have emergency power receptacles serviced through an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This lack of protection makes critical patient data vulnerable to downtime as there is no ride-through until the hospital’s emergency generators can assume the critical load.
Thirty-two percent of those surveyed had experienced unplanned downtime of their IT systems while 29 percent responded that their data centers did not deploy redundant power systems or didn’t know what type of distribution strategy was being used. This suggests that, despite an increased reliance on IT, there is a need for increasing awareness of infrastructure technologies and strategies.
Despite the recession, 60 percent indicated they plan to add more server and storage capacity in their hospital data centers in the next 24 months, while more than half are planning to update or expand IT infrastructure within an existing hospital. Twenty-seven percent plan to expand the existing hospital, while 15 percent plan to build a new facility.
Regarding cloud computing in the healthcare setting, web servers and web-based applications have the second highest cloud adoption rate at 49 percent (13 percent is specified as internal cloud), among respondents, and 50 percent of respondents plan to implement disaster recovery/backup-as-a-service on an internal or external cloud. Forty-nine percent of respondents mentioned a concern with security and cloud computing.

Quotes attributable to Jeff Sturgeon, vice president of marketing and solutions, Emerson Network Power’s Liebert products business in North America:

“With shrinking IT budgets and rising demand for computing capacity, it’s not surprising that healthcare IT and facilities professionals cited budget, power requirements and availability as top concerns inside the hospital.”
“Although it is a relief to know that those in the healthcare industry recognize the relationship between power and cooling infrastructure and IT system availability, the lack of hospital-wide power protection in the OR and patient rooms is concerning.”
“Patient records in the data center may remain available and protected during a utility outage, but without extending protection into the hospital, medical personnel will not have access to vital data while hospital-based IT devices are temporarily down.”
