Storcom Partnering With Cloud Host SingleHop

Storcom, Inc., in the storage and data protection industry, has announced an enhancement to its Recover by Storcom ‘recovery as a service’ offering through its partnering with SingleHop, LLC, a Chicago, IL-based firm in automated hosting and infrastructure services.

Recover by Storcom is a solution that provides DR and BC planning as well as structured, public, and private cloud-based backups that allow for recovery ranging from individual systems to complete location outages.

Each Recover by Storcom solution begins with an on-site review in which design architects use decades of experience and state-of-the-art tools to analyze storage and recovery needs.

"We are delighted to announce the selection of SingleHop as our Tier 4, SAS 70-certified data center," said David Kluger, principal technology architect at Storcom. "After an extensive search and due diligence we selected SingleHop because of its industry-leading operational standards, automation tools, exceptional support, and its multiple data centers to provide geographically dispersed recovery options."

Recover by Storcom builds upon SingleHop’s scalable, on-demand infrastructure services to provide a range of storage and recovery solutions, including private-cloud deployments. SingleHop, a cloud hosting company that offers scalable, on-demand infrastructure services to both end-users and resellers, delivers resources and services with deployment time and custom support.

"We are proud to be partnering with Storcom in providing the industry’s strongest DR solutions," said Zak Boca , SingleHop president and CEO. "We’ve long admired and shared Storcom’s commitment to meeting and exceeding customer needs."

Storcom was drawn to SingleHop for a number of reasons, including the completeness of its offerings.

"Prior to SingleHop we felt we had to assemble infrastructure solutions from multiple entities," Kluger says. "SingleHop offers everything we need, providing us with a unified solution and seamless access to vast infrastructure resources and a level of control that we were not able to get with other data centers. We have looked at all of the moving parts that are necessary to make BC in a public or private cloud a reality and bundled them into one solution using the best technologies. Outsourcing all or part of backup and recovery frees an organization’s IT staff to focus on projects relevant to their organization’s core business values while reducing the risk of data loss, preventing corruption, and improving the ability to provide business continuance."
