| Arsenal Digital Solutions partners with Con Edison Communications
CEC will add Arsenal's ViaRemote, a fully managed, network-based data protection service, to the suite of services it currently markets to businesses in the New York City area. CEC will re-brand ViaRemote as PowerProtect and offer it as a turnkey, ultra-reliable utility service that makes it fast, easy and cost-effective for companies to utilise Arsenal's network to protect data to a secure, highly available offsite facility. "Events such as September 11 and other man-made and natural disasters have increased customer demand for highly available and affordable data protection services for mission-critical data," said Peter Rust, president and chief executive officer of CEC. "Teaming with Arsenal enables CEC to provide businesses of all sizes with an extremely valuable and desirable business continuity and data protection service through a trusted local service provider." The partnership will leverage CEC's metro area network, which currently interconnects over 160 buildings in the greater metro New York area and is within reach of 80 percent of all commercial buildings in Manhattan. CEC's sales organisation will market PowerProtect to both new and existing customers, while relying on Arsenal for service delivery and management.
