CBTS Launches Virtual Data Center Service

CBTS has announced the launch of its Virtual Data Center service, a utility computing service which enables customers to provision and manage virtual Windows and Linux servers in a cloud computing environment.

 

As a division of Cincinnati Bell, CBTS has transformed virtualization technology into an innovative, scalable, flexible, low risk and affordable solution for businesses of all sizes.

 

“While advances in technology have led to significantly faster computing times, application processing needs have not increased at the same pace,” stated John Burns, president of CBTS.

 

“This means that a company’s server utilization may be running at a mere 10 to 15 percent of overall capacity. As the cost of managing server infrastructure increases, companies are looking for ways to do more with less. The CBTS Virtual Data Center provides a scalable and flexible architecture to help businesses of all sizes reduce the capital costs associated with server acquisition, rising power and cooling expenses, and time spent managing additional systems,” he further explained.

 

Virtual Data Centers have several uses like managing seasonal or sudden needs for increased computing resources and offering additional capacity for business continuity and disaster recovery purposes. It also provides a dedicated corporate data center or application development and testing site.

 

Christi Cornette, vice president of marketing, CBTS, said that an important and compelling feature of CBTS’ Virtual Data Center service is its ability to support businesses ranging in size from small and mid-sized to Fortune 500. Irrespective of the size of the business, customers are served from a secure Tier 3 CBTS Data Center with full network and power redundancy.

 

By paying a monthly service fee, Virtual Data Center customers can access virtual services on-demand through an online portal said the company.

 

CBTS can combine the data networking capabilities of Cincinnati Bell (News - Alert) with next-generation managed services which will offer companies flexible solutions for end-to-end IT deployment.

 

The CBTS business model will enable organizations increase their productivity and operational efficiency at the same time controlling costs and reducing risks. CBTS’ solutions will help a company to focus on business continuance, compliance, security, and technology infrastructure.
