Omaha, Nebraska - EnSite Incorporated, a leading provider of software solutions and transaction management services for energy companies and service providers, announced today the completion of its planned migration of all EnSite Hosting Service data operations from its corporate offices to its data center partner, CoSentry Business Resiliency Solutions of Omaha. The completion of the move to CoSentry enables all EnSite Hosting Service clients to receive the benefits of a secure, fully dedicated data facility.
The EnSite Hosting Service provides energy retailers with the benefits of EnSite Safari Suite®, EnSite’s proven energy management software, in a hosted environment. For its Hosting Service clients, EnSite manages the application and data locally as clients access the system via the Internet.
Since announcing its partnership with CoSentry Business Resiliency Solutions of Omaha in 2007, EnSite has been engaged in a planned migration of its Hosting Service operations to CoSentry’s state-of-the-art Omaha-based Service Command Center.
CoSentry’s Service Command Center facility was built from the ground up with customer data security in mind. It features a raised operations floor, proximity card access restriction and security escorts to shared areas, as well as continuous environmental monitoring, redundant power and cabling, and an onsite generator resulting in guaranteed application availability (uptime) of 99.95%. Web-based access to servers and data hosted at CoSentry’s facility allow EnSite staff to efficiently monitor customer data conditions and uptime from any location. Regularly rotated tape backup of customer data, which is stored off site, ensures critical data is recoverable in the event of a disaster at the CoSentry facility.
The partnership with CoSentry Business Resiliency Solutions has helped EnSite provide enhanced data security, reliable connectivity, and broader bandwidth resulting in expedient and virtually uninterrupted client access to critical operational data and EnSite Safari Suite® services.
“With the finalization of the migration to CoSentry, EnSite is optimally positioned to manage our Hosting Service client operations,” said Rod Bates, president of EnSite. ”These infrastructure investments, coupled with expanded service options, means that EnSite can offer a wide range of scalable deployment packages to satisfy the evolving needs of clients operating locally, regionally or nationwide."
