American Savings Bank (ASB) has forged a data centre partnership agreement with cloud solution provider Servpac.

Under this partnership, Servpac will provide ASB co-location services at its ‘MTP Data Centre by Servpac’, the only Tier 4 data centre on Oahu.

ASB VP of business continuity management John O’Boyle said that there were several decision-making factors while choosing MTP Data Centre to co-locate their data.

O’Boyle said: “By partnering with Servpac to keep our information technology systems operational and secure, we are able to focus our energy on providing our customers with an excellent experience.

“With Servpac, we know that our equipment is secure and well-maintained and 24-hour support is available if we need it.

O’Boyle added that the bank was “impressed” with the data facility’s prime location.

Servpac constructed the new category-4 hurricane resistant structure and installed redundant power and cooling systems.

O’Boyle added: “As the only Tier 4 commercial data centre on Oahu, Servpac offers the enhanced security and business continuity features we need to keep our information safe and accessible no matter what situation arises.”

The MTP Data Centre by Servpac, which is a Hawaii-based premier data facility for colocation and cloud computing solutions, has been recently completed.

Now, Servpac is working with ASB to shift the bank’s legacy server room infrastructure to a private cage within their data hall.

Servpac president and founder Richard Zheng added: “We are beginning to see a trend towards less on-premise data centres, particularly for companies and industries that rely on continuous access to mission-critical data.

“Customers rely on Servpac because we are experts in what we do, and by outsourcing the management of their data centres to us, we enable them to gain peace of mind and focus more on their business.”
