Intermedia Adds New East Coast Data Center
2009-04-07
April 07, 2009 (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Software-as-a-service
provider Intermedia (www.intermedia.net) has
added a fourth data center location to support its Microsoft Hosted Exchange
messaging and collaboration solutions, providing the infrastructure they need to
work efficiently and provide customers the highest quality hosted messaging
services.
According to the company's Tuesday announcement, the East Coast data center will
meet Intermedia's high demand from small-and medium-sized businesses to provide
enterprise-grade hosted email and offer added reliability.
Intermedia's new location is operated by data center operator and Internet
exchange provider Switch and Data (www.switchanddata.com).
The Switch and Data site offers more than 200 watts per square foot of power and
cooling capacity, and full N+1 redundancy for its UPS, generator and cooling
infrastructure, helping Intermedia offer a 99.999 percent uptime service level
agreement for its Hosted Exchange services.
Intermedia chief operating officer Jonathan McCormick said SaaS is becoming
increasingly accepted in the market, making Intermedia's Hosted Exchange
especially attractive to SMBs. "We are focused on providing a premium service
and continue to invest heavily in building and operating top quality
enterprise-grade infrastructures to our customers. These new data centers, along
with our three existing North Americandata centers are world-class facilities
that we built with hardware from Dell, EMC, Cisco and others to provide the best
possible service to our customers."
The Switch and Data data center is interconnected with other sites in the metro
region's premier carrier hotels, providing access to more than 300 networks,
making it one of the most densely interconnected data centers in North America.
While Intermedia did not specify which East Coast facility in which it occupies
space, it is likely a New York facility because locations in that city offer
metro connectivity.
Switch and Data chief marketing officer Ernie Sampera said in a statement, "Intermedia
focuses on providing a high quality infrastructure to its customers, and we are
pleased that they have selected one of our east cost data centers to host their
newest environment."
According to the company, Intermedia's data centers are rated tier-4, making
them "fundamentally immune to planned and unplanned downtime," according to the
Uptime Institute's definition, which - in practice - minimizes email downtime.
