Nov 11, 2008 : Hosted Solutions Runs NC State Tour
📅 - Data center and managed services provider Hosted Solutions (http://www.hostedsolutions.com/) has hosted educational tours of its Raleigh data center for North Carolina State University graduate accounting students last week, giving them an example of the importance of managing IT risks by protecting technology assets in data centers.
According to the company's announcement, 91 Master of Accounting students toured the facility last Wednesday, giving them the opportunity to see various control techniques firsthand including security, fire protection, biometrics, backup power, and heating and cooling controls. The tour particularly fits in with a required course entitled "Risks and Controls," which highlights the importance of managing technology related risks to ensure that businesses stay successful and valuable.
"The experience and knowledge these students will gain touring Hosted Solutions data center is something that can't be provided through traditional classroom education and will bring to life the importance a data center plays in a company's overall success," said Professor Mark Beasley, who teaches enterprise risk management at NC State. "Furthermore, Hosted Solutions is the only Tier III data center in this region and by far the best in terms of security, service offerings, high-tech and redundancy."
Hosted Solutions' data center and managed hosting services have already gained the trust of many customers' mission-critical IT systems and applications, enabling them to reduce operating costs, lower the risk of downtime; however, it is important that future business decision makers understand the data security standards and classifications.
Hosted Solutions Raleigh sales manager and NC State alumnus Kevin Farnham said, "Hosted Solutions is pleased to work with Mark and his students again this year and excited to host a tour of our Raleigh data center. These venues for thought collaboration and sharing of industry best practices are a great opportunity for students to tap the knowledge and expertise of the brightest minds in the industry."
Hosted Solutions operates SAS 70 Type II Certified facilities in Boston, Massachusitts, and Charlotte, Raleigh and Cary, North Carolina. These east coast facilities are all best-of-breed data centers with hardened physical infrastructure, premier security and complete managed service portfolios. Its Raleigh facility underwent renovations in early 2008, adding 18,000 square feet, bringing the facility's total capacity to 31,000 square feet.
Hosted Solutions has also extended its tour beyond university students, making a virtual tour of its Raleigh facility available online.
