San Jose, California (May 25, 2004)--Metropolis New Media,
Inc., a leading provider of managed hosting solutions for
ESRI server products, announced today that it has launched
a Managed Data Backup service for it’s Hosting customers.
The service includes direct access to multiple terabytes
of storage capacity on a pay-as-you-go basis, enabling Enterprise-class
data backup for Hosting customers at a fraction of the cost
and complexity of traditional backup methods. The Backup Services
offered include near-line storage for fast data access, redundant
backup systems for mission-critical data, and tape archival
and remote storage services for disaster recovery.
"GIS data is usually quite large, and backup systems
are typically expensive,” said David Hunsinger, CEO
of Metropolis New Media, Inc. “By launching a Backup
utility service we’re able to offer customers a wide
range of backup options at a price that’s affordable
for both our smaller and larger customers.”
"GIS Planning chose to use this service for its value
and ease of use,” said Pablo Monzon, Chief Technology
Officer, of GIS Planning. “Some of our hosted customers
don’t require backups, while others need us to store
tapes in secure vaults in case of a disaster. With this new
service we can further tailor hosted GIS solutions to customer
needs.”
