About DSS Colocation Services

Rely on DSS to manage and optimize your IT department so you can focus on the strategic decisions that drive your company. When you no longer have to worry about managing sensitive data or putting out fires related to critical IT functions, you won’t believe the impact on operational expenses and your bottom line. Allow your business to thrive under personal attention from industry experts in the fields of managed hosting, disaster recovery, device monitoring and maintenance, and virtualization.

We offer best-in-class tools and best-practice-based processes to work as a virtual extension of your IT department. Through the relationships we’ve developed with other industry leaders, we are also able to function as your value-added reseller of PCs, Servers, Storage, Software, and Network technologies. We are proud to display our certifications, including those from IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, EMC, and VMware, so you feel every bit as secure as your data.

What services do DSS colocations offer?

We have built a network of partnerships and business relationships that are unrivaled in the industry. When you join our network, you will have access to vast resources devoted to keeping your IT infrastructure fully functional and failsafe.

Elements of our IT infrastructure control include:

• Colocation – The viability of your company depends on data continuity. If your systems become unavailable it could bring your business to a halt and destroy your credibility. Our colocation service offers a high degree of resilience with peace-of-mind security.
• Managed Hosting – When you choose DSS to host your colocation equipment, we will become a seamless extension of your IT team. Our 24/7/365 Hosting Support Team takes care of everything for you around the clock.
• Disaster Recovery – At some point, the unthinkable may become inevitable. Accidents, human error, hardware failure, disasters, natural or planned, do happen every day around the globe. DSS is ready for them, with a plan custom designed to fit your business needs.
• Managed Backup – You will need to access prior saved versions of data – for customers, sales leads and employees. By automating the process of backing up, protecting, restoring and recovering mission-critical data, DSS makes it easy to safeguard one of your company’s most valuable resources.
• Private Cloud Hosting – The pure processing power of cloud computing is no longer a promise for the future. It is here and available to you now. At the same time, opening up your servers to the public is not a reasonable security strategy. DSS will provide the computing horsepower while eliminating your security risks through a hosting a cloud environment dedicated to you – and only you.
• Email Hosting – Not only is your email mission critical to sales and customer service, it is more complex than ever, expensive to manage, and your primary source of viruses. There is no need for you to spend your resources on this when DSS will maintain your email servers within a reliable infrastructure.

What type of security does your colocation center have?

Security is our number one priority. It is what we are known for and what we provide for you. The DSS colocation site is a single-story Tier III, SAS70 Type II certified facility with 14,780 square feet of 24" raised floor. Some of the latest design methodologies we use are hot aisle / cold aisle enforcement, zoned fire suppression, and redundant power supply sources. We never rest in striving to identify and implement the absolute best practices in colocation design and management.

We know that security encompasses physical security as well, so our colocation features dual-level security via badge and biometric readers in addition to closed-circuit TV monitors to record all activity. Our colocation site is as secure as possible against unauthorized access, theft, fire and other physical threats.

How does the infrastructure of the DSS colocation serve clients to the fullest?

At DSS, we designed the infrastructure of our colocation to maximize our community impact. Our customers can take advantage of a colocation that is strategically located in a secure, low-profile facility within an easy drive from urban centers. Customer support is provided to our clients by our Technical Operations Center, which is manned by dedicated professionals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

We are proud to offer a Business Continuity Center that features eight workstation areas with wireless internet access, phone and connectivity to your hosted environment when on-site. We also provide access to multiple fiber networks and a loading dock with convenient access for equipment delivery. Contact us today to learn more about hundreds of certifications we have secured, including CompTIA, Red Hat, Cisco, VMware, HDI, EMC and PMP, in addition to all the standards from Microsoft, IBM, and HP.

Why should I choose DSS as my colocation solution?

We realize that you have many options when it comes to IT support and protecting your critical systems. That is why we are committed to securing not only your data, but your business as well. With DSS, you gain access to an established and comprehensive technology solution network that has become recognized as an industry leader. And yes, we still make house calls. That means you also get onsite technical support on an ad hoc basis for single issues as well as routine support and maintenance on a flexible contract.

Take a look around and see for yourself all we have to offer. Why not develop your own cutting edge application alongside our Social Software Collaboration professionals? Or you could take advantage of our IT Staffing department to streamline your recruiting and lower the cost of placement. As we mentioned earlier, we are the go-to guys for disaster recovery and maximizing reuse of your existing hardware through virtualization.

It’s time to stop worrying and get back to business. It’s time for DSS.
