Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
- (The Hosting News) - May 4, 2007 - Data
center and managed web hosting services firm, Hosting
Solutions, has chosen converged packet access solutions
company, Overture Networks, to support its ISG 5000 with
flexible bandwidth between locations of its ethernet
deployment data centers.
Hosted Solutions' data
center and managed hosting solutions are designed to
maintain and protect customers' mission-critical,
back-office IT systems and applications, enabling them
to reduce operating costs, lower the risk of downtime,
focus on core competencies, and achieve their top
business objectives. The company operates four SAS 70
Type II certified data centers in Boston MA, Charlotte
NC, Raleigh NC, and Cary NC providing best-of-breed data
center operations with hardened physical infrastructure,
security, and a complete managed services
portfolio.
Rich Lee, CEO of Hosted Solutions
remarked, ''Due to increased customer demand for
replication and disaster recovery solutions, Hosted
Solutions has made significant upgrades in network
capacity between data centers. By partnering with
Overture Networks and deploying its ISG 5000 appliances,
we now have the flexibility to provide clients with a
secure, reliable, Ethernet-type topology to transport
mission critical data over our high capacity SONET
connections.''
The ISG 5000 is a converged packet
access platform that bridges TDM and packet worlds to
deliver flexible, high-speed Ethernet and TDM services
over metro backbones. It is optimized for medium to
large enterprises, multi-tenant buildings or
multiservice aggregation sites such as the central
office or wiring center. It can also function as a cost
effective aggregation point for any of other members of
the ISG family.
Hosted Solutions chose the
cost-efficient ISG 5000 for the added flexibility it
provides in offering customers bandwidth between its
data centers. Connectivity using Ethernet is a natural
extension of the data center internal fabric
(10/100/1000Mb Ethernet) and allows for simplified LAN,
flexibility of IP, and reliability of SONET connections.
To meet Hosted Solutions' needs, the ISG 5000 was
equipped with OC-12c modules for the WAN and GigE
Modules feeding routers.
Chip Redden, Vice
President of Marketing and Product Management of
Overture Networks added, ''With multiple, geographically
disperse locations, the ISG 5000 is the ideal solution
for Hosted Solutions. We are excited about this initial
rollout and see great potential for expanded deployment
to other Hosted Solutions locations in the
future.''
Hosted Solutions provides data center
and managed hosting solutions developed to protect
mission-critical, back-office IT systems and

certified Data Centers in Boston, MA, Charlotte, NC,
Raleigh, NC and Cary, NC providing best-of-breed data
center operations with hardened physical infrastructure,
