Volico, a leading provider of managed hosting, colocation, and cloud computing services, has announced the opening of its newest 12,000 sq. ft. Tier IV data center facility in Deerfield, Florida. This data center marks the company’s second wholly owned facility in the South Florida market. Volico currently operates in the Miami, Chicago, and San Jose data center markets.
Business continuity approach for South Florida’s healthcare industry
Every healthcare business should have a business continuity plan to ensure that business can take place through a disaster and continue on. Providers and facilities can no longer afford to ignore the demands of business continuity planning. Whether a natural disaster or man-made event, today’s caregivers must be prepared to deal with potential threats of service interruptions.
Business continuity involves more than disaster recovery, it’s about disaster prevention too. If a segment of your business suddenly goes down or an application becomes unavailable, your business can suffer an interruption that is irreparable to its reputation and costly to its bottom line.
Volico’s Business Continuity Services help healthcare providers prepare, recover and continue their critical information systems and business functions in the event of an unplanned disruption (for example virus epidemic, fire, flood, electrical outage, sabotage, equipment failure and others).
Volico’s facilities offer geographic redundancy while providing a secure environment for recovery.
â Offsite storage of backups for disaster recovery purposes
â Backups can be restored to any server in your environment quickly
â Hardware and connectivity redundancy for 100% up-time
â Security of Volico’s world-class Data Centers
Business continuity is vital to business success
How do you determine the continuity and recovery requirements of your business to protect against a disaster? How do you identify your priorities and find suitable protection? Where do you start?
All of these questions are part of developing a business continuity strategy. Business continuity is not as simple as paying for a service and signing a check. It is a process, like many other security measures that a business must undertake. To simplify the process, we have narrowed it down to four steps:
1. Analysis
2. Planning
3. Implement
4. Test.
Today, business continuity is no longer a luxury; quickly becoming a core requirement to operate your business
Volico’s new data center in Deerfield features unprecedented 2N+X redundant UPS Smart-Grid infrastructure and a 2N+X redundant generator Smart-Grid Paralleling Technology providing the highest levels of redundancy and flexibility. “Unlike traditional data centers utilizing multiple generators working towards individually geared loads lacking the ability to parallel more than two (2) units; New Smart-Grid Paralleling Technologies allows the usage of multiple floating generators forming a protected power-grid with XN+Y capabilities geared toward the highest Tier IV Data Center Availability Standards,” said Gadi Hus, Senior Data Center Engineer of Volico. These engineering methods allow Volico to provide emergency power under a green and minimal carbon footprint by balancing load as necessary for fuel conservation.
In addition to focusing on redundancy, Volico’s new data center offers 24x7x365 on-site security and carrier-neutral connectivity. Volico also offers eoMPLS redundant cross-connectivity transport to Terremark’s 160 plus providers over Volico’s redundant and diversified private MPLS ring.
Utilizing Emerson Liebert Computer Room Air-Conditioning (CRAC) units, Volico’s facility is engineered to handle 300-watt/sq. ft. of 2N+X redundant cooling for tomorrow’s high-density computing applications.
