365 MAIN GOES
WIRELESS THROUGH STRATEGIC
PARTNERSHIP WITH BAY AREA’S LEADING WIRELESS
BROADBAND CARRIER
365 Main Signs Partnership with
Unwired Ltd. to Offer Wireless Benefits to Infrastructure
SAN FRANCISCO, CA., April
29, 2004 ––
365 Main, the Bay Area’s safest, most secure and reliable
data center, today announced a strategic partnership with
Unwired Ltd, the Bay Area’s leading wireless broadband
carrier, to offer wireless redundancy to ensure business continuity
for it’s customers. 365 Main’s ability to offer
additional redundant wireless carriers ensures its customers
continuous operation, a core, well-known strength of 365 Main.
Equipped with ten 2.1 Megawatt
continuous power systems, an N+2 facility-wide redundancy,
an award-winning base isolation system, and 60,000 gallons
of fuel on-site, 365 Main’s structure already has diverse
land-based (fiber) carriers coming in to its facility and
can now offer wireless connectivity to it’s customers.
Utilizing advanced RF technology,
Unwired Ltd. has built a wireless network overlay covering
the majority of the Bay Area. This has become a critical factor
in San Francisco when land based fiber in the streets are
cut or damaged and businesses lose connectivity. Unwired Ltd.’s
wireless technology is a critical factor to 365 Main’s
customer when searching for a data center in the Bay Area.
365 Main can now offer even more resilient uptime options
to its customers through this partnership.
“Not only is it critically
important to us that all of the building blocks in our network
exceed our expectations, but our primary goal is to ensure
we exceed the expectations of our customers,” says Peter
Kranz, President of Unwired. “Unwired has been searching
for a bay area data-center to partner with and in 365 Main
we found exactly what we were looking for. 365 Main not only
provides a data center that exceeds all expectations for uptime
and reliability, but it also provides a broad suite of carriers
that we wish to partner with.”
The partnership between 365 Main
and Unwired Ltd. will provide 365 Main’s customers access
to the data center through wireless connections and will provide
another redundant source of network connectivity into the
data center from the outside world. “It is critical
that our performance and uptime meets and exceeds our customer’s
demands. By offering more wireless redundancy to our land
based fiber, we can assure our customer’s business is
secured” says Kevin Shanahan, Vice President Sales and
Marketing. “Bringing Unwired on board as a partner gives
us the advantage of bypassing traditional land-based carriers
and provides an important resiliency our competition has yet
to offer.”
365 Main has been attracting attention
among Bay Area businesses because of its robust building infrastructure,
advanced certifications and award-winning architecture. The
company maintains an 87,000 square feet mission critical data
center and is known as one of the most intelligently designed
buildings in the United States.
