Enteracloud Solutions, a provider of mission critical Internet access, has opened access to a new, secure, SAS 70 Type II compliant data centre in Rancho Bernardo, California.
The expansion to the new World Trade Drive Data Center enables Enteracloud to further provide business-to-business co-location, Internet, hosted voice, and managed data services for organisations of all size.
The Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) 70 is an internationally recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
The new data centre’s compliance to SAS 70 Type II certifies that it has adequate controls and safeguards in place when hosting and processing data for the company’s clients.
Enteracloud Solutions CEO Dave Wiedmaier said their new data center was designed to allow their customers to place their servers and data in a secure co-location with redundant generators, redundant power and a very large amount of multi-homed bandwidth.
"By operating out of a data center that is SAS 70 Type II certified, we ensure that our data center upholds the stringent standards for controls and safeguards that our compliance regulated customers require," Wiedmaier said.
The 88,000 square foot data centre is built with an environmentally friendly air filtration system that can use external air to cool the facility and delivers greater power density, advanced cooling technology and increased scalability versus previous data centres.
Enteracloud said it will initially move approximately 100 clients to the new physically secure site that features biometric scanning, video surveillance, appropriate seismic controls and very early smoke detection apparatus (VESDA).
