“We are marketing this space as a local disaster recovery facility for New York City businesses that traditionally either maintained their servers in house, or at far-off sites that are difficult to manage,” said Erik Koblence, president of New York Internet.

“After 9/11/01 and, more recently, the blackout of August 14, everyone is only looking into a high-end product in terms of colocation,” said Phillip Koblence, vice president of operations for New York Internet. “Mission critical applications cannot incur downtime when there is a catastrophic event in the metropolitan area. Customers are demanding a high level of redundancy, with plenty of power, bandwidth and security. We feel that this acquisition of a data center that maintained service on both September 11 and August 14, will allow us to take advantage of the infrastructure of the NYC Financial District while maintaining a mission critical and secure data center facility where clients from all over the world can be assured of their applications’ integrity and uptime.”
