RALEIGH, NC, June 10, 2009 - rmsource, (www.rmsource.com) a national provider with over a decade of experience in full-service IT consulting and managed solutions, is pleased to announce a major new data center and expansion to its private cloud computing and software-as-a-service solutions. The data center will open in Q4 2009 and be located in a stand-alone facility in Durham, North Carolina.

Uniquely positioned in the market as a managed-only data center and a secure, private cloud services provider, rmsource will offer a variety of high-availability services in this new facility, but most central is the provisioning of mission critical IT infrastructure to customers at a fraction of the cost of building out their own IT Infrastructure.

The new data center will also play a key role in extending rmsource’s private cloud service according to Mark Outlaw, Director of IT Infrastructure Services – "We're passionate about avoiding the traditional hosting risks of having customers share critical infrastructure - too many have been burned by lost productivity because their hosted applications were overwhelmed by other customers sharing the same equipment. We decided a long time ago avoid those risks and took the best components of the shared cloud – virtualization, disaster recovery, flexibility, migration ease and affordability – and made it private. This ensures our private cloud customers the uptime and security confidence they need to run their business by dedicating the exact resources they need. Our engineering group then actively manages the end-user experience right down to the application level, ensuring unprecedented productivity for our clients." Services at the new Tier 3 facility will include rmsource private clouds, Software-as-a-Service, Voice-over-IP/ unified messaging, disaster recovery site hosting, and managed application servers, amongst others and will benefit from the following physical capabilities:

• SAS 70 Type II Certified
• Hurricane rated facility
• Perimeter and internal physical security
• Diverse and redundant power
• Redundant cooling systems for high density IT infrastructure
• Multi-gigabit diverse and redundant internet connectivity
• 24/7 services with SLA ranging from 99% to 99.995% uptime
• Strategic infrastructure partners: HP, NetApp, Cisco, VMware

"The rmsource focus on managing the experience from the data center to the end-user provides my employees with uninterrupted access to the tools they need to be productive while simultaneously controlling my IT costs since expanding my own data center is extremely costly and resource intensive. We're certainly looking forward to their enhanced private cloud this fall," said long time rmsource customer Eric Lewis, Network Operations Manager with Measurements, Inc.
