DBSi Celebrates Opening of Third Data Center, DBSi TEKPark

Bethlehem, PA (PRWEB) June 10, 2011

Data Based Systems International, Inc. (DBSi) opened its third data center outside of Breinigsville, PA in a well-attended Open House celebration last week. DBSi is a leading provider of managed hosting services, high-end colocation, and workspace recovery in the Mid-Atlantic region. Its newest Hosting and Recovery Advanced Technology Center at TEKPark is an impressive 220,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility with over 100,000 square feet available for data center expansion.

The data center is being commissioned in four phases with approximately 50% of TEKPark’s first phase already under contract by several major healthcare and manufacturing clients. Among the first includes St. Luke’s Hospital & Health Network (SLHHN) – a multi-hospital system affiliated with more than 1,200 doctors serving the greater Lehigh Valley. Of the decision to select DBSi TEKPark as their data center hosting provider, Director of Architecture and Engineering for SLHHN, Jeff Stone said, DBSi offered the best options hands down, across the board. Making a data center hosting decision was easy; the challenge was in identifying a viable location that would best secure our investment in systems and health care information and would be capable of scaling into the future. After touring the facility at the open house event, Stone remarked, Working closely with their teams over the last several months and now seeing the fruition of all their hard work only further confirms our decision to move forward with DBSi outstanding!

Strategically positioned, DBSis TEKPark facility was designed to support cost-effective technology solutions for clients who require exceptional support for mission-critical business processing and operations. The data center also supports the ever growing cooling and power requirements of high-density servers and storage along with many innovative green technologies. Fed by multiple electrical substations, it has the capacity to grow to over 100 megawatts.

The companys third facility expands its regional presence by joining its Valley Forge and Bethlehem sites with dark fiber to support real-time data replication between the sites. This allows DBSi clients to create an active-active production IT strategy while leveraging a tertiary site for long term archival storage of mission critical data, or a third active site. DBSis carrier-neutral network topology extends its three data center ring to major cities including New York City, Philadelphia, and Chicago. This combination of multiple data centers and network paths was strategically designed to provide the highest level of redundancy and resiliency for DBSi clients.

protected-networks marks its third anniversary and appoints Incoming Thought as a new reseller-partner in the UK

London (PRWEB UK) 14 October 2012

protected-networks.com GmbH, a Microsoft partner and developer of the access rights management solution 8MAN, is celebrating its third successful year in the data security space, with steady growth backed by consistent client acquisition and an expanding network of partners. Over the last three years, protected-networks has established a presence across DACH, Russia and UK, with a growing number of reseller-partners and more than 250 clients across all sectors, including organisations such as ATOTECH, Airport Riga and IFF Research.

protected-networks offers a specialised access rights management solution, namely 8MAN, that manages permissions within Active Directory, file server, Exchange and SharePoint. The solution was launched in the UK over a year ago and gained immediate traction by offering an intuitive graphical interface that provides for transparent, controlled access to business critical data. The company has now further strengthened its UK presence by adding Incoming Thought as a new partner in the region.

According to Stephan Brack, CEO of protected-networks, the company has partnered with Incoming Thought because of its consulting-led approach and specific expertise in data protection. Incoming Thought provides a range of services from the creation of security strategies through to practical implementations, content creation and end user training, helping companies to secure their business advantage and manage their security risks. They also provide converged security, mobile phone risk management and investigations management.

As we reach this significant milestone, we are delighted to announce our partnership with Incoming Thought. This is the next step in our commitment towards the UK data security market. Organisations need to access both security consulting expertise and the tools to meet compliance and information-security requirements. With this new partnership our goal is to provide business driven value to our clients, said Stephan Brack.

Sarb Sembhi, Director of Consulting Services at Incoming Thought, commented: Data protection is one of the key services we offer and 8MAN is certainly an asset to our portfolio. With functionalities like monitoring, documenting and reporting of access rights structure, 8MAN renders itself particularly beneficial for organisations dealing with confidential data such as credit card information, mission critical information, financial records, etc. I am sure that with protected-networks expertise alongside our in-depth understanding of the market, we have a lot of potential to reach a much broader audience and cater to their evolving security needs.

About the solution: 8MAN

Irrespective of industry or size of organisation, internal data breaches are sharply rising owing to fragmented responsibility for security controls, lack of visibility and governance coupled with inadequate mechanisms to detect violations. Amidst proliferating data and stringent compliance regulations, enterprises are compelled to revisit their security policies and overhaul, if necessary. 8MAN is a preventative measure that enables businesses to achieve these security objectives by making intelligent selection of information assets that need to be tracked, monitoring and recording all actions performed, viz. – who created, read, edited or deleted a given file or folder, hence fostering increased accountability. Tracking of all unauthorised access to sensitive information is made possible with 8MAN.

In a Microsoft Active Directory environment, access rights security is identified as the weakest link, leaving client sensitive data highly vulnerable to breaches and other security risks. 8MAN was developed to address this specific limitation. Its graphical interface is designed to secure clients proprietary information by displaying the existing rights structure down to the individual user level. 8MAN manages permissions within Active Directory, file server and SharePoint access rights and limits access rights to a need to know basis, thereby significantly mitigating data security risks.

About protected-networks: Founded in 2009, protected-networks GmbH is a Berlin-based company that develops integrated solutions for access rights management of server environments across all business sectors and at public authorities. The solution, 8MAN is an Information Trust Software based on an innovative approach to integrated data security management and offers uniform and automated management of user rights.

ScienceLogic Selected to Present at Third Annual UP 2012 Cloud Computing Conference

San Francisco, CA and Reston, VA (PRWEB) December 11, 2012

For the second consecutive year Antonio Piraino, CTO, ScienceLogic will be a featured speaker at the UP 2012 Cloud Computing Conference taking place December 12, 2012 in San Francisco and online.

In his session, Piraino will discuss why cloud operations should be viewed as traditional IT operations on steroids. Today, cloud computing technologies support a dramatically different operating model that focuses on how quickly replacement compute can be operational instead of how quickly troubleshooting can fix a problem. In the cloud, overall application and service availability is maximized, and individual infrastructure failures are minimized. His session will explore why the amount of cloud operations data accessible at aggregated levels for trending and at granular levels for targeting and alerts combined with the speed at which this information must be processed, analyzed and acted upon, requires a level of automation that has never been seen before.

Session details:

Title: Faster, Bigger, Smarter: Intelligent Automation of Cloud Operations

Date: Wednesday, December 12, 2012

Time: 11:00am 11:30am PT

Auditorium: Room D

Im honored to have been selected to present for the second year in a row at UP 2012, said Piraino. Todays IT environments are fluid and more complex than ever before, making automation and smart IT essential components of any organizations operating model.
