January 14, 2005 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Network security firm Enterasys Networks (enterasys.com) announced on Thursday that Internet hosting and colocation facility Boston Datacenters has deployed Enterasys Secure Networks technology in its facility in Charlestown, Massachusetts.
The founders of Boston Datacenters, who previously ran hosting company HarvardNet, repurchased the HarvardNet hosting facility from Allegiance Telecom in July 2004. The state-of-the-art facility maintains 100 percent uptime, connecting to the Internet through physically diverse SONET rings to multiple Tier 1 carriers, to avoid single-cut outages.
“When we took over the facility, the infrastructure of the center was current and well maintained, but the server and network equipment had been neglected and was in need of replacement,” says Vin Bono, president and COO of Boston Datacenters. “In order to provide the high-quality service that’s essential to executing our corporate mission, we replaced all of the Cisco switches we inherited with Enterasys Matrix N3 switches at the edge of the network.”
