(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center provider CRG West (www.crgwest.com) announced on Thursday it has completed Statement on Auditing Standards Number 70 Type II certification at the company’s Boston and Chicago data centers.
The certification follows a series of recent customers wins by CRG West, including Wolverine Trading, AtlanticMetro, Logicworks, and SkyCreek.
The auditing process is designed to test nearly every aspect of a data center’s security procedures, processes, and infrastructure management.
SAS 70 Type II certifications can assist companies in meeting regulations associated with the FDA, HIPPA, PCI, and Sarbanes-Oxley.
In completing the SAS 70 Type II certification process in Boston and Chicago, CRG West has made the outsourced data center selection process more efficient for prospective customers.
“The choice of where a company deploys their mission-critical IT infrastructure is vital to business continuity,” says Billie Haggard, CRG West vice president of data centers. “As many industries move toward heightened regulatory environments, having a provider with a SAS 70 Type I or Type II certification is a meaningful way to validate the overall credibility of an outsourced data center provider.”
CRG West provides wholesale data center space and colocation, connectivity services, remote hands support and an Internet exchange, called Any2.
The company manages carrier-neutral data centers in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Northern Virginia, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Washington DC.
GreenSoft Solutions and Consonus Technologies also recently completed their own SAS 70 Type II audit of their respective data centers and managed hosting service operations.
