The new data center is designed for high availability applications that need to be always on and always connected to the Internet. Customers can select redundant power and network options to their computer systems. Because the data center has dual power generators and redundant uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), there is no single point of failure in the power distribution to a customer's equipment.
The network infrastructure offers similar high availability with two dedicated gigabit fiber connections between the Avis Data Center and Online Tech's other data centers in downtown Ann Arbor and Flint Township. The network has redundant Cisco network architecture and is connected to multiple Tier 1 Internet suppliers. Built-in fail-over across the network and Internet providers eliminates any single point of failure in the Internet delivery.
With the addition of its third corporate-owned data center, Online Tech has a unique advantage with its multiple data centers dispersed across Southeast Michigan. With a common network infrastructure, the three data centers are knit together into one "virtual data center." This gives clients the ability to locate their primary data center in one of Online Tech's' sites and their disaster recovery equipment in a separate data center separated by 50 mile and different power grids, yet function as if they were in the same data center.
"We take a long-term view towards the data center market and see this as an ideal time to bring additional capacity online. The current economic environment provides us the opportunity to gain significant cost advantages through acquisitions that can last the next decade," said Bob Palmerton, Chief Financial Officer.
