GramTel Adds New Lombard, IL., Data Center to Company Holdings
South Bend, Ind. – GramTel announces today the expansion of its facilities to include the construction of a data center in Lombard, Il.
The 26,422-square-feet Lombard, Il., building’s first tenant is an international law firm client that will use the site for co-location of its business-critical data. Additional clients will include mid-size or larger companies that are searching for off-site data security, including data backup, disaster recovery and co-location services.
The new data center will mirror the state-of-the-art technology of GramTel’s current sites, and will include high-capacity cooling systems and diesel generators, security and surveillance, redundant Cisco-powered networks and multiple-carrier fail-over Internet connectivity.
All GramTel Midwest data centers are located in secondary markets with close proximity to major cities, offering clients a number of flexible options. They may choose to locate their primary operations at one location and disaster recovery data at a second location, a strategy that decreases risk and increases safety. Another option is to use two GramTel facilities to back up critical information, allowing organizations to store multiple copies of their data off-site.
According to Tracy D. Graham, GramTel President and CEO, “Our mission is to prevent and respond to emergencies that may cause information technology systems to become unavailable. Our facilities provide ‘safe-site’ solutions to combat downtime for critical IT data. Businesses are keenly aware of the importance of keeping data safe in the event of a disaster, whether it is a large natural disaster or a small server failure. The fact that all of our locations provide cutting-edge technology, are staffed with experienced professionals 24/7, and are cost effective are important advantages for our clients.”
Graham notes that the company has become known nationally for its expertise in business continuity planning, disaster recovery, data backup, enterprise-class monitoring, and excellent customer service. “Most businesses today are technology-driven and cannot afford computer system downtime. We offer safe storage and immediate access to our clients’ information. Our full-service capabilities are attractive to our clients,” he said.
GramTel’s rapid growth also includes data centers in Ann Arbor, Mich., and South Bend, Ind., with another South Bend location coming soon. New clients at all locations are seeking an experienced company with the procedures, infrastructure and mission-critical resources to recover and restore full net functionality with minimal loss of productivity.
GramTel was founded in 2000 and is a subsidiary of Jordan Industries, Inc., in Chicago. It provides disaster recovery/business continuity services, data backup, and co-location services. For more information, visit www.gramtel.net.
