Luck Stone Safeguards Business with Disaster Recovery Solutions at Peak 10 Richmond

RICHMOND, Va. (April 29, 2010) – Peak 10 Inc., a managed services company with world-class data centers, will host a disaster recovery failover site for Luck Stone, a national producer and distributor of stone-related architectural, landscaping and home decor materials and services. The disaster recovery solution, which includes server and storage hosting with network connectivity, will be delivered out of Peak 10's state-of-the-art Richmond facility.

“As we began weighing our options for a reliable offsite hosting provider, Peak 10’s offerings perfectly matched our needs,” said Tom Faillace, director of technology at Luck Stone. “Upon our team’s visit to the Peak 10 Richmond facility, we were impressed with the data center and their capabilities to ensure round the clock access. We now have the benefit of a redundant and accessible hosting facility that greatly enhances our business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities – safeguarding the future of our company.”

“Utilizing a Peak 10 facility for a disaster recovery failover site prevents the maintenance of a secondary site from overloading the primary IT staff, and allows for the strategic, geographic diversity of mission-critical data,” said Mark Wensell, Ph. D., the vice president and general manager of Peak 10 Richmond. “Luck Stone’s strong roots and long track record of success will be further supplemented through our disaster recovery solutions and expert team’s support.”
