DENVER, Feb 24, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) — CoreSite Realty Corporation, a provider of secure, reliable, high-performance data center solutions, today announced that for the third consecutive year it has achieved an average uptime exceeding 99.9999 percent, or “six-nines,” across its platform of data center facilities.
Six-nines availability reduces unscheduled downtime to less than 32 seconds per year, against CoreSite’s 100%-uptime service level agreement. Compared to the industry benchmark of five-nines availability, which correlates to downtime exceeding 5 minutes annually, six-nines availability provides businesses with nearly 10 times the statistical reliability in the data center environment supporting optimal performance of mission-critical data and IT infrastructure.
“We are pleased to again be an industry leader in data center reliability, reflecting the professionalism, training and care of our facilities teams as well as the high quality of our enterprise-class data centers,” said Tom Ray, CEO at CoreSite. “As part of our commitment to provide best-in-class service to our customers, we take pride in providing exceptionally high levels of reliability across all of our product and service offerings. Achieving six-nines availability for the third consecutive year, including 100-percent availability through Hurricane Sandy in 2012, is a testament to the quality and dependability of those services and our people. Importantly, the reliability of our data centers underscores the high standards and rigorous training we commit to in providing secure and high-performance solutions to enterprises, networks and clouds as they work together in CoreSite facilities to power and support the information, communication, and technology needs of the world’s most demanding customers.”
As part of our commitment to deliver excellence in all areas of customer experience, CoreSite’s on-site facility and security employees receive extensive and recurring training and must pass the company’s internal certification exams to reach specified levels of accountability. Providing an additional, third-party review, CoreSite’s data centers reflect SSAE 16 Type 2 SOC 1 certification. CoreSite remains committed to providing customers with highly reliable, secure and compliant data center solutions, including support enabling customers to comply with regulatory compliance requirements including HIPAA, PCI, FISMA, and others as needed.
