(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Clearview Managed Services (www.clearviewmgmt.com) announced on Wednesday it has completed construction on its a new 43,000-square-foot data center in Waco, Texas.
The facility will become a nearly failsafe solution for customers’ business continuity and disaster recovery programs.
The new Information Technology Gateway will offer enterprise hosting, managed services and business process outsourcing for companies operating throughout Texas and beyond.
The facility includes a range of security and business continuity features, including full security, such as biometrics, smart cards, DVR cameras and 24-hour personnel , dual transformer commercial power feeds and multi-carrier fiber availability for operating capacity and redundancy, large staging area to support mobile recovery vehicles and client employees displaced from their daily work environments, and disaster recovery office space.
Clearview’s high-availability approach has a recovery solution built in, which means that customers will experience little or no downtime when there is a disruption in service.
Waco also serves as an ideal location, as Waco Information Technology Gateway repurposes a Cold War nuclear fall-out shelter to provide physical security that is otherwise unavailable in the commercial data center market.
The site is also within a 100-mile radius of Dallas, Austin and San Antonio, and within 200 miles of Houston, allowing for true data replication between the Waco ITG and customers in those cities.
Through high-speed data transport, the ITG provides the Waco area a new path to global corporations, incorporating diverse fiber paths to a carrier hotel in Dallas with access to more than 20 international carriers.
“We are thrilled about completing the Waco ITG project, and thrilled about our partnership with Clearview,” says Cody Campbell, executive vice president of new development for Paul Kite Company, which developed the data center. “This development is part of a broad, nationwide data center development initiative for us. In this challenging economic time it is a testament to the effectiveness of our strategy and the proficiency of our team.”
At a time where a lot of companies are outsourcing their staffing to stay afloat during the current recession, Clearview says it is working with the Texas State Workforce Commission to find ways to keep jobs in the state and to train and teach workers who can stay in Texas.
