Carbonite Expands Online Data Center

Carbonite has recently expanded their online data center in Boston to allow for a client growth through to the end of 2008.

“Even though disks and other equipment are getting smaller and data densities are increasing rapidly, we still need a lot more space to handle our rapidly growing customer base. So we are expanding the size of our Boston data center by a factor of three,” said Carbonite CEO David Friend. “We’ve been very happy with our relationship with the Markley Group. We get the benefit of very sophisticated building security — 24 hour guard, fingerprint ID, uninterruptable power, and so forth. We also benefit from low-cost access to multiple Internet backbones with automatic failover in the event that our primary carrier has problems. Later this year we’ll be opening data centers in other cities, but meanwhile we now have enough space in our Boston data center to carry us through 2008.”

Carbonite’s online backup service continues to provide secure online data backup.
