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.

No Limits Software Announces Integration of the Full Line of Eaton Rack PDUs with Their RaMP Data Center Management (DCIM) Solution

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) March 12, 2012

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

Leading UK Data Centre Provider C4L Launches IPv6 Across Their Network

Bournemouth, Dorset (PRWEB) October 8, 2009

The UK’s largest privately owned data centre network and colocation provider C4L is proud to announce the launch of IPv6 across all of its networks. This next step continues C4L’s goal to be on the leading edge of connectivity in the UK data centre market. Furthermore, this news makes C4L the UK’s largest IPv6 and IPv4 data centre footprint network provider.

The Internet World has been using the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) for the last two decades and has experienced tremendous success, hence the primary reason for the Internet community adopting IPv6 is one of space. IPv4 has a finite amount of address space which, thanks to the Internet’s rapid growth, is soon to run out. The exponentially larger amount of addresses within IPv6 will facilitate the Internet’s continuing growth. C4L is now offering IPv6 as standard at no additional charge. Customers will now be given the option of IPv6 addresses, and current customers requiring further IP addresses will also be offered the opportunity to use them.

C4L is the chosen provider for many of the UK’s largest bandwidth and connectivity providers for their data centre footprints. With the addition of IPv6 to C4L’s network, customers in virtually any UK data centre now have an increased number of providers they can get IPv6 services from such as NTT and Tinet (formerly Tiscali).

C4L continues to expand its network and be a market leader in the data centre connectivity industry and can now provide its range of services to over 30 colocation data centres across the UK. The services now available in all of these data centres include; C4L Partial Transit, C4L Multihomed IP Transit, direct Tier 1 connectivity to multiple providers, Interconnects, multi data centre VPN’s, direct connectivity to L2TP providers, direct connectivity to major Internet exchanges including AMS-IX, LINX, LONAP and MANAP, secure off site data storage and wholesale VoIP.

The network provider has invested well over

Study Reveals Californians Must Increase Earthquake Preparedness; Less Than 20 Percent Have Prepared Their Homes; Only 40 Percent Have Sufficient Water

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) March 5, 2010

A majority of Californians have taken initial steps toward earthquake preparedness but more than 60 percent of Californians have not done enough to make their homes safer and guard their personal finances in preparation for an inevitable, large-scale earthquake, according to a recent California Earthquake Preparedness Survey.

Although state and local public safety and emergency management agencies are better prepared than ever before, California residents have focused on easy preparedness activities such as collecting supplies and making back-up copies of important documents but they have not done more difficult and expensive activities such as securing the contents of their home or purchasing earthquake insurance, according to the survey.

Key findings of the survey were:

The value of RaMP is greatly enhanced by the accuracy of our Sentry product line monitoring. The integration of Server Techs Sentry family of PDU products into No Limits RaMP provides customers with the most reliable operating metrics available from any PDU supplier, added Harris. The Sentry family was recently verified by Underwriter Labs as offering the industrys most accurate measurement at the outlet level within a data center environment.

Hurricane Earl Reminds Businesses to Hurricane Proof Their Business with VoiceNation

(PRWEB) September 03, 2010

Buford, GA (PRWEB) September 3, 2010 — The last major hurricane to come this close to North Carolina’s Outer Banks was Hurricane Isabel in 2003. At which time VoiceNation was contracted by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina to host its phone lines in the event that communications were to go down due to the hurricane. VoiceNation was contacted by the company to prepare five toll free phone numbers for the health care provider. Blue Cross more than 3,000 employees dialed in via the disaster recovery lines to keep apprised of information and instructions. The companys executives were able to connect with one of VoiceNation’s local data centers in North Carolina where calls could be handled by VoiceNation’s Raleigh answering service.

As expected all phone communication was lost in the area. Fortunately they had planned ahead to have their calls come through VoiceNation. Had they not had a back-up plan in place their recovery efforts would have come to a screeching halt.

VoiceNation, the premier provider of hosted voicemail, virtual pbx and answering service, announced today the results of a study that exposed shortfalls in most companies disaster recovery planning regarding critical voice communications. The result is that many organizations risk severe financial hardship and business disruption in the face of a disaster, natural or otherwise. Key findings included:

Protravel International Continues to Utilize Backup My Info! to Backup and Restore Critical Data for their Corporate Servers and Remote Workforce

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 28, 2010

Backup My Info! (BUMI), the premier provider of online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses, today announced that Protravel International, Inc. continues to utilize BUMI for its off-site data backup and disaster recovery needs. Protravel is a full service, dynamic retail travel company with annual sales of nearly $ 700 million. With 780 employees spread throughout 24 worldwide locations serving a diverse client base, Protravel needed a backup solution that would safeguard its critical data and protect against a disaster recovery situation.

In the past, Protravel used a standard tape backup system to safeguard data across 13 servers. According to Lou Moran, Chief Technology Officer at Protravel, the daily backup processes were time-consuming, difficult to administer and could not be trusted.

“I wasn’t even sure if the tape system was working, and if the backups would be there if we needed to restore,” explained Moran. “With data backups, you cannot leave anything for chance, so we decided to replace our tape-based system with a hosted service. We identified several hosted backup options, and quickly realized that BUMI was best suited to support our enterprise needs. Additionally, their emphasis on service and support provided an added level of comfort knowing that if, or when, we ever need to restore data, they are well-positioned to guide us through the process quickly.”

Protravel is using BUMI to backup data of local Microsoft applications including SQL, Office, SharePoint, and Active Directory, as well as their Web servers. In addition, Protravel utilizes BUMI to manage remote desktops and laptops, which are scheduled to run at specific intervals. If any of the servers, desktops or laptops experience backup errors, BUMI’s senior-level technicians immediately notify Moran’s team.

“When I first started using the BUMI service, I was immediately impressed with how transparent it is to our day-to-day operations,” said Moran. “In addition, BUMI’s proactive monitoring of backups – as well as the professional and friendly customer service we receive – have been added bonuses for us. We’re not BUMI’s largest client, but you would never know that from the attention to detail we receive. I want all my vendors to treat us like we are that important – and that’s exactly what BUMI does with every interaction with them.”

“Aside from providing best-in-class technology and processes, it is important for our team to learn about the nuances of each client’s data so they are in the best position to backup and restore it,” said Jennifer Walzer, CEO at Backup My Info!, Inc. “For Protravel, we understand the urgency of backing up their business-critical data and constantly work with them to ensure it is always safe and accessible.”

About Backup My Info!

Founded in 2002, Backup My Info! (BUMI) specializes in delivering online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses. Based in New York City, BUMI provides an off-site data protection solution that addresses critical issues such as rapid growth of data, business continuity, and regulatory compliance.

Logicalis IDs Five Mistakes Companies Make in their Cloud Strategies

Farmington Hills, MI (PRWEB) August 23, 2011

The term cloud has become one of the most commonly used and most often misunderstood words in IT today. According to Logicalis, an international provider of integrated information and communications technology (ICT) solutions and services, when a company doesnt fully define what the cloud can do for it, it leads to a less-than-optimized strategy that underserves the organization. To help IT pros avoid common pitfalls, Logicalis has identified five mistakes companies make in their cloud strategies.

If you ask 10 people to define the cloud, youll get 30 answers, says Steve Pelletier, cloud solution architect at Logicalis. Cloud is a buzzword; you hear commercials and advertisements all saying Cloud, cloud, cloud. But its not a well-defined term and that leads to people not fully understanding the enormous opportunities that cloud computing can offer their businesses today. When businesspeople even the most experienced IT pros have a limited view of this nebulous term, the cloud, its hard for them to make the best decisions for their companies.

Companies that fail to explore all the options may be leaving valuable services untapped and potential savings unrealized. Pelletier says there are five significant ways businesses today are missing out on the full potential of the cloud. And identifying and understanding these potential pitfalls is the key to avoiding them.

Brownstone Insurance Prepared Their Customers and Their Company for Hurricane Irene

Norwell, MA (PRWEB) September 01, 2011

Brownstone Insurance prepared not only their customers for the potential wrath of Hurricane Irene, but also their own company.

In order to do our job of protecting our customers, we needed to protect the integrity of our systems first to make sure we were up and running and ready to help, said Glenn Montgomery, co-founder of Brownstone Insurance.

The company has a thorough disaster recovery plan in place and spent hours during the week prior to Hurricane Irenes arrival implementing that plan.

“When you are on a plane, they tell you to put the mask on your face first before helping others, explained Glenn. This is true for an insurance agent during a disaster. That is why Brownstone was ready and waiting for any disaster that may have come, he continued.

Brownstone Insurance had a backup generator installed which is powering all of the companys systems until power is restored to their area in Norwell, MA. While most of the area businesses are closed due to the power outage, Brownstone is fully operational and ready to assist their clients following the storm.

The company also took steps to ensure that their customers were prepared to weather the storm. Publishing e-newsletters, blog posts, tweets and Facebook status updates were all part of Brownstones plan to reach their customers before Hurricane Irene reached New England.

The company even reached out to customers and non-customers alike during the weekend of the storm via Twitter and Facebook to increase awareness about the storm and provide tips to remain safe during the storm.

Brownstone Insurance has been providing master policy insurance coverage for multi-unit properties throughout Massachusetts since 1982. With a combined 68 years experience between the company co-founders, Glenn Montgomery and Wayne Fick, and their 13 employees averaging 12 years of service, the staff of Brownstone Insurance is highly experienced and truly dedicated to helping their local community with their insurance needs.
