Host.net (News - Alert) is a multinational provider of managed infrastructure, offering its clients a reliable, stable and state-of-the-art platform to connect to its suite of managed services.
Recently, the company strategically expanded its business continuity Disaster Recovery (DR) space and has given a major boost to its power infrastructure at Host.net’s Boca Raton, FL campus. The company has now added 5,000 square feet of new custom suites and has included a 1200 amp, three-phase, 480 volt service feeding a brand new ASCO 7000 Series ATS for its phase-four colocation facility. All these facilities are built in to meet the clients’ specific needs.
Jeffrey Davis, Host.net co-founder and CEO, said that responding to client needs has always been something the company is very focused on, and having depleted their existing DR space at the Boca Raton campus, they realized that they needed to expand in order to meet both existing and new demand for business continuity/disaster recovery office space in the marketplace.
“As successful and effective as our cloud and backup solutions are, we must also respond to the need for physical space for organizations to quickly and cost effectively be up and running should the need present itself,” Davis said. “The biggest cost of business continuity is the lack of preparation.”
The company has also been successful in connecting multiple Host.net data centers through an extensive fiber optic backbone and Metro Ethernet network, wrapping most major metropolitan markets. Also, the company offers a “5 nines” (99.999%) uptime guarantee for its Smart Cloud Architecture framework.
According to the company, the expanded infrastructure will give a major lift to its South Florida clients, as they can easily store mission-critical data at an off-site data center that is virtually (and physically) close, and back up their data to a remote location.
Along with the power infrastructure enhancements, the company has brought in an 800 kW MTU generator to handle the load of the phase-three colocation facility. This backup generator comes in handy when there a power failure to the primary generator, due to storms or other occurrences.
