POWER CONCERNS PLAGUE EXECS:E-COMMERCE,
CRITICAL DATA AT RISK DURING OUTAGES, SHUTDOWNS

365 Main, a highly secure facility, is designed
to overcome natural disasters, breakdowns

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., August 26, 2003 – 365 Main – C-level executives are more worried than ever about the security and reliability of their e-commerce applications and critical data functions – and for good reason. In just the past two weeks, many events have shaken the confidence of executives responsible for continuous data operation:

• The massive East Coast blackout knocked hundreds of thousands of East Coast grid-dependent servers and data systems offline for days;
• a power outage at a carrier colocation facility took Ebay down for three hours, and
• two San Francisco-based carrier hotels and colocation facilities were reportedly knocked offline for three and eight hours, respectively, due to power outages, taking their clients down for that period of time.

Apparently, our brave new data-reliant world isn’t quite perfect just yet.
However, savvy managers have an option for their mission-critical e-commerce data and storage needs – 365 Main, the Bay Area’s safest data center. “We recently chose to host our disaster recovery fail over servers at 365 Main because of its massive redundancy systems and its overwhelming power backup system,” said Michael T. Schoback, the Director of Operations of AT-LINK America, Inc. “My e-business and telecom needs are sufficiently critical that sole-source or level-one redundancy systems are insufficient for my needs. 365 Main’s facility-wide N+2 redundancies guarantee me the peace of mind that whether a problem is caused by a faulty substation, overloads on the California grid, an earthquake, or even an East Coast-style blackout, my business will continue to hum.”

365 Main has ten 2.1 installed Megawatt generators, full on-site utility integration, N+2 or greater redundancy on all systems, 60,000 gallons of fuel on site, and ironclad fuel delivery contracts. “This building is designed to survive earthquakes, power outages, and other disasters,” said Jean Paul Balajadia, Vice President of The Main Exchange. “If the East Coast outage had happened in San Francisco, our technicians wouldn’t have noticed so much as a light blinking on site. Our on site capabilities and multiple redundancies guarantee that our customers’ data and Internet traffic can survive almost any challenge.”
