Background: DR&T was approaching an all too familiar problem for many companies – they were outgrowing their current IT infrastructure and capabilities. As business flourished, the operational and capital expense of running an in-house data center increased as well. Power outages and temperature regulation issues challenged the IT staff and kept them from performing their day-to-day jobs. Adding further concern, their home office is in Houston, Texas; known for the potential of flooding hurricanes. It was time to consider moving their data center operations to a secure, colocation facility.
The Solution: After a thorough data center evaluation process, DR&T chose Data Foundry for their IT colocation partner. Since location was paramount to the decision, Data Foundry’s Austin Data Center (ADC) is close enough for convenience, but far enough away from Houston to mitigate the threat of natural disasters. Upon moving the corporate data center to the Data Foundry facility, DR&T’s IT staff has been better able to ensure maximum performance of their systems, increased uptime and exceptional security.
