NaviSite Adds New Charlotte Data Center

By Justin Lee, October 01, 2009

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Managed hosting provider NaviSite (www.navisite.com) announced on Thursday it has added a new data center located southwest of downtown Charlotte, North Carolina.

The location is ideal, being just a few miles from the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, making the site accessible. It is also located outside the area of risk from flooding, seismic activity, and hurricanes, providing a safe environment to customers for both production and disaster recovery.

NaviSite's new data center lets the company meet increasing hosting demands of both existing and new customers in the southeastern region of the United States.

The data center meets strict standards and offers best in class specifications in space, redundancy, connectivity, cooling, and security.

Power and HVAC systems are equipped with full redundancy and are expandable for higher density installations.

The facility features UPS systems and generator backup systems equipped with N+2 redundancies, ensuring uninterrupted power and availability for the data center.

All the systems are monitored 24 hours to deliver greater reliability and improved power efficiency.

"Our extensive, enterprise class data center network is the mainstay of our business. We continue to experience increasing demand for our innovative cloud based enterprise hosting and application offerings," says R. Brooks Borcherding, chief revenue officer at NaviSite. "The Charlotte data center extends our presence into the southeastern region and offers our customers another option for the provisioning of our suite of hosting solutions."

NaviSite operates 16 data centers across the US and UK, a total of 223,000 square feet, where it provides managed hosting and application services.

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.
