Recovery Point chooses Ekinops 360 for private access to disaster recovery services
Recovery Point, a provider of data backup and recovery services, chose the transport equipment from Ekinops, the Ekinops 360 system, to provide private access to its disaster recovery facilities for its customers. The Ekinops 360 lets service providers differentiate themselves in applications. Previously this could not be done because of the cost of transport equipment.
The Ekinops 360 system allows Recovery Point to extend its fiber-optic network into carrier hotels, giving customers a private connection to Recovery Point data backup facilities. The Ekinops 360 is a pay-as-you-go system, which can eliminate added expenses for Recovery Point customers.
