Kolder Strengthens Network Uptime With Telx Dallas Data Center
NEW YORK, NY, Jul 11, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Telx(R), a leading interconnection and data center provider in
strategic North American markets, today announced that Kolder, Inc.,
a leading global manufacturer of consumer and commercial beverage
cooler and insulation products, has selected Telx as its
mission-critical infrastructure colocation provider. Kolder has moved
its vital enterprise resource planning (ERP) and back-office
infrastructure into Telx's SAS 70-certified data center in Dallas,
Texas, leveraging an industry-leading community of telecommunications
carriers, ISPs and cloud service providers to boost enterprise
network uptime. Kolder also relies on Telx's tech support and
disaster recovery services to improve its data and systems backup
plan and to optimize overall productivity and business continuity.
For over two decades, Kolder has manufactured high quality beverage
insulators and Kooler bags, distributed to consumer outlets such as
grocery stores, gas stations, sporting goods stores, college
bookstores and big box retailers throughout the nation. Kolder's
licensed merchandise bears the marks of the professional sports teams
and over 130 colleges. In manufacturing and merchandising, Kolder
relies on its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software to source
materials, estimate delivery times and keep the manufacturing floor
in its Texas facilities on task. Network uptime is a priority -- one
that was challenged by weather events and few telecommunications
options at their in-house data center.
"Previously, our mission-critical infrastructure was housed
internally in a rural location outside of Dallas. This resulted in
repeated loss of power due to bad weather, as well as poor bandwidth
that could not reliably support our applications," said Mark Rogers,
Director of IT for Kolder, Inc. "With Telx, we can dramatically limit
network downtime while taking advantage of the large variety of
service providers and cloud providers that have a presence here.
Telx's Dallas data center is our new infrastructure and connectivity
hub due to its convenient and well-connected location. We also value
the flexible, cost-effective choices Telx offered us that enable us
to scale as we grow. Telx brings together a realm of providers within
the data center that opens up options. Bringing our infrastructure to
a Telx facility makes scaling our business easier and allows us to
focus on core competencies."
"Telx welcomes Kolder to our high value community of global customers
in Dallas," said William Kolman, Executive Vice President of Sales
for Telx. "We are committed to helping enterprise customers like
Kolder continue to grow by meeting their data center capacity and
reliability needs, allowing them to focus on what they do best."
