Peak 10's Four Data Centers are Prepared for Hurricane Frances; Company Implements Emergency Management Plan to Ensure Business...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. & CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Peak 10, Inc., the Southeast's leading data center and managed services provider, today announced it has successfully implemented a full-scale emergency management plan for hurricane Frances. The company is monitoring all severe weather threats from its emergency management command center in Charlotte, N.C.

When Peak 10 implements its emergency management plan it ensures five important functions in case disaster strikes:

1. Work with customers to ensure their disaster recovery plans are
   in place and activated.

2. Provide a secure facility. Each data center will be fully
   monitored and managed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

3. Interconnectivity of its four tier one data center facilities
   through Peak 10's private backbone. The company will also ensure it
   has multiple Internet connectivity providers in place.

4. 24 hours, 7 days a week data center coverage and availability.
   Since all four facilities are outside mandatory evacuation areas,
   Peak 10's data centers will be fully staffed and able to handle
   customer requests and onsite needs. All generators have been
   "topped off" and priority fueling contracts are in place and
   active.

5. The availability of disaster recovery and business continuity
   consulting and services to current customers and those in need of
   temporary space.

"Having multiple data centers provides a tremendous amount of value and resources in a hurricane situation," said David Jones, founder and president for Peak 10. "By activating our emergency response plan early, we are able to monitor the storm and direct our resources to the appropriate facility. We learned with hurricane Charley that having proper staffing levels in our data centers is critical to ensuring business continuity for our customers as well as emergency services to those companies that are experiencing technology rescue situations."

Peak 10 owns and operates state-of-the-art data centers in Tampa and Jacksonville, Fla. and Raleigh and Charlotte, N.C. that are all interconnected by Peak 10's private network. This geographic diversity and redundancy enables Peak 10 to meet its high availability objective and ensure business continuity for its customers' business critical applications. All four facilities are prepared and have implemented the appropriate procedures to ensure proper staffing levels, security, uninterruptible power including generator support, redundant HVAC systems, and 24x7 monitoring and management.
