May 22, 2007 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center operator and managed services provider Peak 10 (peak10.com), and onsite disaster recovery company Agility Recovery Solutions (agilityrecovery.com), announced on Monday they have completed the integration of disaster recovery and business continuity services and made them available to customers in advance of the 2007 hurricane season. The Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30, averages almost ten named storms per year. Many nationally renowned hurricane experts are anticipating that this season will be more active than usual, ranging anywhere from 13 to 17 named storms and a 74 percent chance of a major hurricane hitting the US. Florida, in particular, is predicted to be four times as likely to encounter a hurricane as in an average year. ”Once disaster hits, it’s usually too late if a plan is not already in place,” says Monty Blight, Peak 10 VP of managed services. “People can have short memories and tend to think, well, there weren?t any hurricanes last year so we’re safe. That is not a responsible reaction if the health of your business relies on secure, reliable IT functions, particularly if you?re in a high-risk location with crucial customer data on unsecured, non-redundant equipment.” The partnership between Peak 10 and Agility enables Peak 10′s customers to recover their business operations in a fully configured mobile office environment from almost any location. Agility’s mobile offices are equipped with all the technology and satellite connectivity needed to access and utilize secure data hosted at Peak 10 data centers.
Peak 10 recently announced it hosted a live business continuity Webcast on May 17.
