Data Storage Corporation in Partnership With TierPoint

Data Storage Corporation, a provider of diverse BC, DR protection and cloud solutions, announced partnership with TierPoint, LLC.

TierPoint’s data centers provide power, connectivity, the Internet and a host of additional services, allowing DSC to deliver specialized services and applications to its clients.

Clients of DSC and TierPoint are taking advantage of its cloud and hybrid cloud services to deliver platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings and software as a service (SaaS) applications among other solutions. In some cases, clients are using a combination of DSC and TierPoint colocation and managed services.

In conjunction with TierPoint, DSC has designed a virtual cloud platform that allows the company to offer scalability for capacity and performance on demand for various types of workloads for IBM users. This includes production capacity, virtualized capacity, DR and replication workloads.

“We find that companies that are willing to maintain these systems on their own for production workloads are very reluctant to recreate the environment in a separate location for DR purposes,” stated Chuck Piluso, CEO, DSC. “This is one of our biggest opportunities because we can maintain customers’ DR solutions for less money and eliminate the IT overhead associated with maintaining it themselves.“

DSC’s range of services allows clients to migrate production systems to the cloud, provide local and remote recovery processing, as well as provide data circuits. The company also provides 24/7 monitoring, support, security, system operators and on-call specialists.
