September 5, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- IT solutions firm DataChambers (datachambers.com) announced on Wednesday it is significantly expanding the infrastructure that supports the company's Winston-Salem, North Carolina data center.
The company says it has signed 22 contracts for outsourced information technology services with companies spanning various industry sectors in the first half of 2008 alone.
Located 18 feet underground in a blast-resistant building, the company's current data center houses dozens of systems for customers from across the nation.
The expansion, which is expected to cost over $600,000, will increase the available floor space by 25 percent, while upgrading the redundant power, air conditioning, fire suppression and security systems protecting the facility.
"We've found that companies are looking for service providers who can act as an extension of their own information technology team and help them get more out of their limited budget dollars," says Nicholas Kottyan, CEO of DataChambers. "Our clients get a level of support that would be virtually impossible for them to replicate on their own, while freeing them to concentrate on the things they do best."
The company has already begun working the project and anticipates its completion within the next 60 days.
This marks the second major expansion initiative for DataChambers this year, following the March opening of its 85,000-square-foot facility at Ridge Creek Business Park in Charlotte, North Carolina.
DataChambers meets the demand of small and medium businesses for stable, secure, long-range information management and business continuity capabilities.
The company offers electronic data storage, network and monitoring solutions, managed information technology solutions, colocation services, secure tape vaulting, and offsite records storage and management.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
