Jun, 2002 : OM Establishes New Jersey Hosting Facilities

📅 June 20, 2002 - Financial services and energy industry service provider OM (om.com) announced on Wednesday that it has established a new data center in Berkley Heights, New Jersey, to provide the company with a second New York area facility, complementing its downtown Manhattan location.

The company says it is gearing up to accommodate its growing Global Services business, which provides management services and hosting facilities to the financial services and energy industries.
OM acquired Sweden's Hostmark data center earlier this year, and is currently building new facilities in Sydney, Australia.
According to OM, the company expanded its Global Services offering in the fall of 2001 with the goal of providing management services and hosting for applications supporting the entire transaction chain. Global Services currently operates 13 exchanges for customers worldwide, providing operations and support services in Stockholm, New York and Sydney.
"Our goal is to be the outsourcing partner of choice for cost effective and reliable operations of mission critical services to finance and energy markets worldwide," says Carl-Magnus Hallberg, president, Global Services for OM. "Our new Berkley Heights center adds to our existing strengths overseas and puts us in a position to pursue that goal."
OM says it expects the Berkley Heights facility to be fully functional by the fourth quarter of 2002.
