Get that 3000 touch for disasters
March 30, 2007
One of OpenMPE's board members, Matt Perdue, is launching a disaster recovery (DR) business this month. Recovery can be a complex project for a company that doesn't know your HP 3000 and its needs.
But Perdue's Hill Country Technologies is the home of the famous $5 HP 3000, that system which went on auction last summer at an outrageous discount. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised to hear that the very same system is part of the Hill Country's DR outlay.
So you know that this DR host knows your systems. Hill Country Technologies yesterday announced the availability of disaster recovery and application service provider hosting solutions to the HP 300 community. Other platforms will be supported as needed for clients.
Perdue reports that his company's available facilities are:
- A commercial computer room/data center installation, downtown San Antonio, TX,
- located at major North-South-East-West transit for voice and IP traffic from Florida to California and Mexico/South America to Chicago
