AmeriVault Adds Chicago Data Center


Leads Industry in Providing High Service Availability With Replicated Storage Located Over 1,000 Miles Away

WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 27 / -- AmeriVault Corp. (http://www.amerivault.com/), a leading provider of data protection services, today announced they have activated a redundant data vault located in Wood Dale, IL, a suburb of Chicago. Designed to ensure uninterrupted backup and archiving services, AmeriVault will replicate its primary data vault in Waltham, MA to SunGard's Chicago mega center in real time. The result is a redundant set of customer data located over 1,000 miles away that is highly available should AmeriVault's primary vault experience an interruption or disaster.

The Chicago Mass Storage Vault is comprised exclusively of EMC CLARiiON networked storage solutions, providing customers with redundant backups. AmeriVault's storage deployment consists of over 140 terabytes (TB) of EMC CLARiiON CX series networked storage systems and software. AmeriVault's CLARiiON systems utilize both Fibre Channel and ATA drive technology -- providing flexibility for the company to match customer service level requirements with the storage environment. The company is also using FalconStor IPStor software in conjunction with AmeriVault's backup offering for non-disruptive recovery operations.

"Natural disasters, such as the recent hurricanes and terrorist threats, are making it increasingly necessary for organizations to have backup data in multiple locations," said Bud Stoddard, President & CEO of AmeriVault. "We have seen disasters strike large metropolitan areas, so by making an additional copy of backup data available outside of our geographic area, organizations can trust that AmeriVault will keep their critical data available."

One of the fastest growing private companies in the Boston area, AmeriVault is a proven leader in disk-to-disk data protection and recovery services. Solutions include online data backup, email archiving and data replication that deliver total automation, maximum security and regulatory compliance.
