Comcast Business Services Florida East Coast Region is
launching a partnership with ColoHouse to provide customers with additional
options for reliable, redundant power and data center services.
The partnership with ColoHouse’s major Miami data center
helps provide customers with the continuation of Internet and
telecommunications connectivity in the event of power loss. This service is
extremely important in South Florida due to the need for disaster recovery and
business continuity during the hurricane season.
During the hurricane season, the daily operations and
profitability of many businesses in South Florida can be greatly affected by
severe weather. This partnership with ColoHouse
provides Comcast business customers additional power options to help protect
their network-based operations during a major storm,” said Steven Schmitz, vice
president, Business Services for the Florida East Coast Region, Comcast.
ColoHouse’s Data Center is a 24,000 square foot facility
located outside FEMA’s 500 year flood zone and is able to withstand a Category
5 hurricane. It’s a carrier neutral operation that is utilized by many major
global carriers.
The partnership will allow customers to connect with
Comcast facilities at the ColoHouse Miami
Data Center to establish backup services in case of a power loss for any
reason. This service extends disaster recovery services to any sized
business.
Whether it’s redundant power and cooling systems,
modern equipment or special hurricane-rated facilities, we can offer new
innovations and reliability to help ensure disaster recovery and business
continuity,” said Richard E. Duman, vice president, Sales Engineering,
ColoHouse.
As more organizations rely on network connectivity to
drive and support their daily operations, the need for BC/DR becomes even more
critical to serving customers and protecting the overall integrity of the
business,” Duman added.
