Comcast Business Powers Fiber Connection to
Perpetual Storage’s Data Center
Comcast Business and Perpetual Storage, Inc. (PSI), a
privately-owned and operated maximum security vault specializing in
commercial protection of off-site digital and microform data, today
announced that Comcast Business will provide Ethernet service to
power its DataVaulting services. Combining virtual data security
with the data center’s physically secure location inside of a
granite mountain, the new service will help enable customers to
access their stored records and data more efficiently over a
dedicated connection.
“Perpetual Storage was founded with the intention of providing
our customers with data storage and protection services that cannot
be matched by any competitor,” said Aubrey Murray, senior managing
director of business development for Perpetual Storage Inc. “Access
to Comcast’s high-performance fiber network enabled us to help
create our new DataVaulting service that is a natural extension of
our core business and an offering that lets our customers choose a
mix of service options that best meet their distinctive needs.”
Carved into a solid granite mountain outside of Salt Lake City,
Perpetual Storage provides a unique location with multiple layers
of security for the digital assets of financial/insurance services,
government, manufacturing, technology and other customers. With a
long history in physical storage, PSI had been looking to leverage
the unique properties of its mountain facility – high security,
climate controlled and protection from natural disasters – to
expand into digital storage services based on customer demand. The
resulting DataVaulting service enables customers to send digital
back-up, disaster recovery and archival data to servers inside of
PSI’s remote vault.
To offer the service, Comcast Business extended its fiber
network directly into Perpetual Storage’s facility, enabling
facility customers to access their stored resources, quickly and
reliably. Customers also have better access to PSI’s managed
services and consulting services for customized data center
solutions built around their unique business needs.
“Investing to extend our fiber network to Perpetual Storage
Inc.’s mountain vault not only enabled them to expand their market
opportunity, but it also gives our customers high-performance
access to a very unique on-net data center facility,” said Paul
Merritt, director for Comcast Business. “As digital storage
increasingly becomes the only sound option for companies of all
sizes’ disaster recovery processes, access to dependable, easily
scalable Ethernet connectivity will become more necessity than
luxury.”
Comcast Business has more than 350 data centers on its
advanced network across the U.S. Its 145,000 route miles of fiber
span 39 states and the District of Columbia. The company also
offers customers private, high-performance access to multiple cloud
services at up to 10 Gbps of capacity.
