ServerHouse to offer Disaster Recovery as part of colocation service

Within this new service every ServerHouse customer will have the option of installing a backup device of their choice into ServerHouse's DR centre.
The device will be interconnected to the customer’s ServerHouse rack via a 1Gb/s network port, enabling real time or periodic replication to suit the individual needs of each customer.

ServerHouse, who have existing measures in place to protect against fire and flood, host their DR centres almost 1000ft from their primary site to ensure data is safe and protected at all times.

ServerHouse’s unique data centre complex means customers can have a primary and secondary data centre in close proximity with no common power or network elements and dark fibre interconnects greatly reducing costs with little compromise on functionality.

Gary Coates, Manager at ServerHouse commented: “We normally find that smaller companies we work with do not have a DR solution in place, and they don’t have the budget to hold their data in a second backup data centre. For this reason, we decided to launch DR storage with all our racks whereby customers can locate a backup server in another data centre providing them with offsite backup.”

ServerHouse hope that this additional service will give new and existing customers further peace of mind that in the event of a major incident their data is secure and backed up.
