May 6, 2003 -- The Doctors Company, the largest national doctor-owned malpractice insurer, has selected Collocation Solutions' Las Vegas data center as the site for its mirrored disaster recovery installation.
The Doctors Company said its decision to develop its own hot site solution was driven by concerns about availability and reliability.
"We needed to make sure our Disaster Recovery site was located in a destination city that was not affected by weather and other risks caused by Mother Nature," said Richard Diamond, CIO of The Doctors Company. "Collocation Solution's Las Vegas site is a favorable location for California companies that want to mirror and/or back-up data in areas less affected by earthquakes, power shortages or other events," he added.
"Many companies are finding mirrored hot sites are a quicker, more affordable solution than traditional DR solutions," said Jim DeVenny, president and chief executive officer of Collocation Solutions. "A disaster recovery plan is essential for West Coast companies and Las Vegas is the perfect location for a company's hot site."
Collocation Solutions' 18,000 square foot Last Vegas data center is centrally located in the valley. It offers the best fiber and wireless connectivity available in the market. It is a fully redundant, carrier neutral, Tier 1 quality data center
