NEW YORK, May 27, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Globix Corporation (OTCBB:GBXX) today announced the expansion of its PartnerPlus(sm) suite of managed services to include PartnerAssure(sm) -- a new data backup service for mid-sized enterprises concerned about assuring business continuity and disaster recovery.
PartnerPlus(sm), Globix's managed services framework launched in late 2002, includes several levels of hands-on systems management (PartnerAssist(sm)) and flexible response time options (PartnerRespond(sm)). The PartnerPlus(sm) suite was designed with flexibility in mind and allows enterprises to mix and match options to custom-tailor a managed services solution that meets their budget and their needs.
Now, with the addition of PartnerAssure(sm) data backup, Globix's managed services framework extends the building blocks of disaster recovery and business continuity to enterprises of all sizes. "Globix has a long history of providing custom data backup solutions for our complex hosted Clients," said Pete Stevenson, the company's CEO. "Now, by integrating those custom solutions into our managed services framework, we're able to offer mid-sized enterprises a scalable, affordable way to protect their mission critical data as well."
PartnerAssure(sm) provides Globix Clients with several tape backup options, data recovery capabilities and reporting tools. Clients can determine the frequency and size of their backup and can store the data on-site at a Globix data center or at a remote location. In the event of a disaster, Globix engineers will manage the restoration and Clients can get detailed statistics on their backup history via Globix's secure extranet. Clients pay only for the amount of data they store each month.
"PartnerAssure(sm) provides us the peace of mind we seek," said Steve Olejarczyk, the Director of Technology at Space Holdings, a Globix Client and the publisher of the popular website Space.com (http://www.space.com). "Combined with their world-class facilities, robust network, and hands-on expertise, Globix gives us the performance, security and resiliency our customers demand from our website."
According to Stevenson, Globix is exploring additional business continuity and disaster recovery solutions. "PartnerAssure(sm) is a key step in making business continuity affordable to enterprises of all sizes. But we see further opportunities to leverage our data centers and tier one OC-48 IP backbone to provide the mirroring, virtual storage and data backup solutions that enterprises will continue to demand."
