Xceedium Partners with TELEHOUSE to Drive Secure Operational Efficiency for Data Center Facilities
Strategic Partnership Between Next-Generation IT Operations Management and Data Centers and Business Continuity Solutions Companies Enables Customers with Trustworthy, Reliable Offerings
Jersey City, NJ – September 25, 2006 –Xceedium, a secure remote IT operations management provider and TELEHOUSE America, the leading industry provider of tier-one colocation, dedicated data centers, international Internet exchanges and business continuity solutions, today announced a strategic partnership that enables customers to securely manage dispersed data centers from anywhere, anytime.
Xceedium and TELEHOUSE now are able to offer an even more robust business continuity and disaster recovery solutions menu in response to customers’ data center needs globally.
IT operations administrators worldwide face the time consuming and costly task of managing several networks dispersed around the globe within a budget reduction environment. This increases the risk of security breaches and a lack of compliance with industry regulations. With incidents such as power, network and server outages and regulatory compliance issues occurring everyday, these have become top concerns at companies of all sizes; especially amongst the financial, insurance, healthcare, pharmaceutical, bio-tech and legal industries.
Xceedium’s GateKeeper appliance enables IT professionals to drive secure operational efficiency by providing them with the following benefits:
- Effectively deploy data/operational center facilities to meet business continuity goals, while knowing security policies, management needs and compliance needs are easily met; this avoids building complex infrastructures supporting data center management that are costly to administer and maintain.
- Efficiently and rapidly provision, support, and troubleshoot distributed computing/networking systems in a manner that minimizes down-time, is cost-effective and secure.
- Provide easy and complete control for internal or external support personnel to all resources – quickly and efficiently.
- Easily manage multi-branded equipment across disjointed data centers and networks all with key stroke logging and auditing for compliance and reporting.
- Enable roles-based secure access control that can enforce separation and segregation policies for administrators and scheduled jobs, supporting repeatable and auditable processes that meet compliance needs.
- Effectively monitor business continuity facilities to ensure readiness in the event of disaster.
- Complete enterprise-class functionality that supports a clustering architecture that enables a flexible centralized command and control management center that is highly scalable and readily available.
For example, an IT administrator can simply manage any infrastructure issues that arise with in-band networking, out-of-band networking, or power cycle from one location and simultaneously manage any components wherever – even if he or she is as remote as a local Starbucks. Xceedium’s GateKeeper provides the authorized professional with the ability to securely access several data centers at the same time from anywhere at anytime.
"Xceedium is a leader in next-generation IT operations management, offering customers military grade security and a simple, proven solution for infrastructure management," said Masahiro Furuya, TELEHOUSE's president and CEO. "We are very excited to partner with Xceedium. They add value to our existing customers, enabling them to elevate their level of operational efficiency and security."
"Our strategic partnership with TELEHOUSE allows us to provide our customers with a knowledgeable, trustworthy and reliable data center facility," said Cheryl Traverse, president/CEO of Xceedium. "By leveraging its easy-to-use system, we are able to make recommendations to customers on their data center initiatives by helping them reduce costs, comply with regulatory requirements and increase Service Level Agreements."
