TELEHOUSE America announces that it has continued normal operations before,during and after Hurricane Sandy. To support to the people and community affected by the storm TELEHOUSE America has made a donation to the American Red Cross. Hurricane Sandy, the October 29 storm that afflicted the East Coast, particularly New York and New Jersey, left millions of Americans without power, transportation, and viable communications, and destroyed more than 1,000 area homes.
Headquartered in Staten Island with its 7 Teleport flagship facility, TELEHOUSE America remained operational throughout the storm. To date, all three TELEHOUSE New York facilities continue to operate normally with on-grid power, with its engineers checking all supporting and standby systems to ensure continued operations. In preparation for the storm, TELEHOUSE America initiated solid plans to sustain its operational readiness, and by the day the storm hit, proactively engaged backup diesel power (off-grid) in anticipation of lower Manhattan’s utility power shutdown. Throughout the duration of the storm and in the aftermath, all TELEHOUSE New York facilities remained operational without any critical system outages. Additionally, its Manhattan sites at 25 Broadway and Chelsea were both operationally unaffected by local flooding.
In response to the area's downtime and power issues, TELEHOUSE America is offering temporary solutions in all three of its NYC data centers:
- Colocation - quarter, half and full cabinets are available on one-month or more terms
- IP connections through vendor partners
- Telecom circuit cabling, available on limited or one-month or more terms
- Scalable IT support, available on limited or one-month or more terms
- Temporary small unfurnished office space (25B & Teleport). Available on limited or one-month or more term
