Jul 18, 2008 : DBSi Opens New Data Center

📅 July 18, 2008 - Secure hosting, disaster recovery and data center services provider DBSi (dbsintl.com) has announced it will be opening its latest advanced technology center at the TEK Park campus (tekpark.net) located in Eastern Pennsylvania.

On Friday, DBSi announced TEK Park would house the new ATC, a 228,600 square foot advanced recovery and hosting technology center. Designs began last year and Phase 1 is expected to be completed by late fall 2008. TEK Park ATC is the latest addition to DBSi's family of green data center facilities in the Lehigh Valley and Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

The new ATC was planned in response to increased demand for hosting, disaster recovery and workspace recovery services. Like those that came before, the new ATC will offer high availability, high density power and cooling, and robust connectivity needed to support high-speed synchronous and asynchronous data replication between DBSi's ATC facilities and mid-sized to Fortune 500 clients in the mid-Atlantic region.

This center will help to facilitate the additional requirements of Wall Street West participants, a public-private partnership designed to provide IT back-up and recovery resources outside New York city and northern/central New Jersey.

"While northeastern Pennsylvania is already a hub for financial-services and insurance companies, Wall Street West further strengthens the region providing a required service to companies in New York City and New Jersey that must protect their shareholders from the type of damage done on September 11, 2001," Wall Street West director of outreach Jim Ryan said in a statement. "We are pleased and proud that DBSi is continuing to expand its facilities and capabilities in the region."

As global demand for data centers grows, DBSi (for the moment) is the latest company to announce an expansion, with SAVVIS's (savvis.net -> lumen.com) launch of its fourth data center since April, AtlantaNAP's (atlantanap.com -> hostinger.com) announcement a day earlier that it had added 12,500 square feet of raised floor to its colocation facility, and Data393's (data393.com -> hostinger.com) announcement a week earlier about its 30,000 square foot Denver facility expansion to name just a few.

However, it's not just market demand volume driving growth; companies are increasingly demanding solutions that shield their data from the unforeseen. Like DBSi, North Carolina-based Netriplex (netriplex.com) was motivated by the potential of disaster when it expanded its Asheville, North Carolina data center by half to offer greater emergency support including temporary office space for clients in case of natural or man-made crises.

"The addition of TEK Park further enables DBSi to provide the greater New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Central Pennsylvania corporate markets with secure hosting and disaster recovery services outside of the metro threat zones," DBSi chief executive officer William Bachenberg said in a statement.
