MANILA, Philippines - IP Converge Data Center Inc., the information technology and telecommunications division of publicly listed IPVG Corp., announced that it has launched a new addition to its roster of solutions and services: IPC Business Continuity.
This latest service offering from the Makati-based Internet data center operator aims to address the business continuity and disaster recovery requirements of new and existing clients.
The IPC Business Continuity Center leverages on IP-Converge’s existing state-of-the-art data center infrastructure and redundant IP network which guarantees continuous power, cooling and Internet connectivity even in the event of a disaster.
Located on the 34th floor of RCBC Plaza — a highly secure, seismic-zone 4 compliant building — the facility is fully equipped with business equipment such as copiers, fax machines, IDD/NDD-capable phones, and printers to ensure that customers can continue to operate their business in the event of a disaster.
“IPC Business Continuity provides companies with accessibility to their mission-critical applications and data which will allow them to have true business continuity without the prohibitive cost of developing one for themselves,” says IPC AVP for product development Herns Hermida.
“Companies are able to avert huge losses in revenue and credibility as their clients are able to continuously transact with them without them knowing that they are going through difficult times,” Hermida added.
IP-Converge’s Business Continuity Center is a ready and available back-up facility that’s ideal for all businesses to ensure continuous operation in the wake of unforeseen events, whether natural or human-induced.
Moreover, the center will aid in the recovery of mission-critical data and sustain the operations over several days or even weeks until normal business is restored.
“In today’s interconnected world, it is incumbent for organizations to have facilities in place to mitigate the effects of disasters and make their mission-critical applications constantly available. Otherwise, customers will bring their business to a more stable and reliable service provider. Business continuity initiatives have become a fundamental move for companies to include in their short-term and strategic plans,” Hermida said.
IPC Business Continuity is offered on a per-seat basis and clients are given the option of contracting seats on a dedicated or shared basis. The IPC Business Continuity Center is available to clients 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Together with its co-location, connectivity, Internet and professional services, IP-Converge is able to customize business continuity solutions for virtually any customer, tailoring the service to suit specific disaster recovery plans.
IP-Converge is a regional Internet data center providing a wide array of managed data services and business solutions at international standards with operations in Makati, Hong Kong and Singapore.
