Joe, Want to get some S-POPs?
StorageNetworks, Inc. Triples Data
Storage Services Capacity in Chicago
Chicago businesses benefit from continuous
availability of critical data and reduced operating
costs without hassles of managing own data storage
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 14, 2000-- StorageNetworks,
Inc., the leading provider
of storage services for the e-Economy, today announced that it is making it
easier for Chicago
businesses to access data storage services--enabling local companies to
''plug into'' a data
storage network as easily as they would subscribe to phone or electric utility
services.
Today the company opened a second StorageNetworks S-POP(SM)
(Storage
Point-of-Presence(SM)) data center in Chicago's business Loop, tripling the
data storage services
capacity available to Chicago's business community. The Chicago S-POP
houses enterprise
storage systems and tape libraries that let local businesses remotely store,
access, manage and
protect mission-critical data 24x7 -- increasing customer performance and
security while
eliminating downtime. Customers will be connected to the local S-POP via
the StorageNetworks
private, high-speed Global Data Storage(SM) Network (GDSN), which
will also connect
customers to the StorageNetworks Global Operations Center (GOC)
located in Waltham,
Massachusetts.
''Chicago businesses can efficiently and reliably access enterprise class data
storage capacity and
services at the StorageNetworks S-POP,'' said John Clavin, senior vice
president of marketing
and corporate development at StorageNetworks. ''This is especially
important for fast-growing
Web-based businesses that depend on continuous availability of online
information. The S-POP
frees organizations to grow their businesses and lower operating costs by
eliminating infrastructure
and technology concerns.''
StorageNetworks opened its first Chicago-area S-POP in Oak Brook, Ill.
in August, 1999. The
company's Chicago office opened in July, 1999 and currently employs more
than 20 storage and
technology professionals.
