HOLBROOK, NY - October 3, 2008 - With the recent influx of hurricanes plaguing the country, a business has to wonder, "How long until this disaster strikes our company?" "What will the damage cost us?" or "How much downtime can I afford with all the information we will lose?"
Businesses today cannot afford to be without functioning IT assets for more than 48 hours, and the damage from threats such as hurricanes could significantly exceed this limit. The threat of losing a majority of a company's data center would send a shiver down any CEO's spine.
The East Coast's First Structurally Secure Data Center Solution
Now with Future Tech's iFortress solution, organizations no longer need to worry about such disastrous possibilities. iFortress is the East Coast's first data center protection solution. It encloses a data center in a self-contained, airtight, and highly insulated structurally bunker that is impervious to today's riskiest threats.
iFortress is an ideal storage facility for protecting a company's valuable IT data. It is designed to defend a data center from environmental threats, such as hurricanes, floods, fires, dust, humidity, salt, air, and also from potential human threats, such as disgruntled employee sabotage and theft. Hermetically sealed walls provide a constant inside temperature, regardless of the changes on the outside environment, making iFortress an ideal green solution.
Panel walls allow the iFortress to be scalable to any size data resource, including the option to expand as a data center grows with a rapidly expanding company. Though originally designed to protect IT assets, the iFortress has become the ideal solution for protecting nearly all assets, including artwork, historical documents, and medical records.
Green Data Center Solution
An additional benefit of using the iFortress to protect a company's data center is its "green" technology. Soon to be certified as LEEDS green technology, iFortress is made of materials that are recyclable, scalable, movable, and represent the most energy-efficient data center model in the world. Additionally, the use of iFortress shows improved efficiency, reduced environmental and insurance costs, and enhanced data protection.
Since the installation of the iFortress at Future Tech headquarters, the CFO reports a 20% reduction in energy costs, emphasizing the environmental benefits provided by the iFortress.
"We are excited to be one of the first companies on the East Coast to bring this dynamic solution to the market," Future Tech CIO Bill Kohler stated. "The environmental benefits of the structure are already apparent in the short time our company has depended upon iFortress."
