[May 14, 2010] PingTone Expands Data Center at Equinix's International Business Exchange Tweet May 14, 2010 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- PingTone, a provider of hosted VoIP services to government offices and businesses, announced expansion of its current data center space at Equinix's International Business Exchange (IBX) data center in Ashburn, Virginia. According to PingTone, the company is expanding its current data center space in one of Equinix's newest facilities. The expansion will provide space for PingTone's recently announced addition of the new BroadSoft BroadWorks plaftform as well as future planned network expansions. PingTone chose Equinix's data center services as it provides for physical security and power usage. PingTone's data center space is configured with cable distribution systems and dual AC and DC power distribution raceways, which can utilize Equinix's diesel generators as back-up to dual power grid capabilities. The IBX data center is also equipped with security cameras and biometric hand geometry readers among other security features. "PingTone provides a disaster recovery and business continuity solution to its clients who view voice communication as mission critical to their business," said Glen Gaillard, VP of Engineering for PingTone. "Equinix enables a critical component of that capability with multiple levels of redundancy and failover measures that no other data centers offer." PingTone provides hosted (outsourced) Cisco IP phone systems to corporate, government and military customers in the United States and internationally. Organizations capture all the new operational advantages of Cisco VoIP technology without the complexity of managing these systems internally.
