RCR Teams Up with the RackForce GigaCenter™


November 3, 2009

New relationship provides effective and affordable disaster recovery solutions.

Kelowna, B.C. – RackForce Networks Inc. is pleased to announce an agreement with Burnaby based RCR Technologies to act as a strategic reseller. Together RCR and RackForce can provide cost-effective and scalable data replication and disaster recovery services for companies of any size. RCR supplies the expertise, equipment and support, and RackForce supplies the best-in-class datacenter and high speed network, so that the client can focus on their core business.

RackForce’s Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Brian Fry, says that “RackForce is pleased to be working with RCR, because their expertise combined with the capabilities of the new RackForce GigaCenter™ offers clients a badly needed disaster recovery solution right here in British Columbia.”

RCR offers its clients the benefits of their extensive knowledge of server virtualization and data storage solutions. They provide best practice implementation for server hardware, operations and back-up recovery. The Kelowna-based RackForce GigaCenter™ was built to be among the greenest and most advanced data centers in North America. Using a scalable and highly efficient modular design, the GigaCenter™ supports demanding next-generation IT systems.

Together, RCR and RackForce offer full disaster recovery solutions. The first step in disaster recovery is data replication. RCR’s equipment and expertise allow clients to maintain a second copy of their data at the RackForce GigaCenter™. If clients need to access their data, it is readily available.

The second step in disaster recovery is to provide for continuous availability of business-essential applications. Once businesses have established a second secure location for their data, they need to consider how to access the applications they need to operate, should their primary system become unavailable. RCR makes it easy for businesses to run another instance of applications on equipment that is secured at the RackForce GigaCenter™. Should the client’s primary systems become unavailable, they can continue to operate using the applications and data that are housed in Kelowna.

Rob Rutherford, President, RCR Technologies, says that “we have teamed up with RackForce because their datacenter allows us to provide seamless disaster recovery solutions in a secure and sustainable facility that has the resources to support our clients’ needs today and tomorrow.”

Kelowna has been identified as one of the best locations in North America to build a data center because of its seismically stable geographic location, temperate climate and extremely low risk of natural disaster. It is an ideal location for disaster recovery and colocation solutions.
