CoSentry Announces Gage E-Services Hosting KDLT-TV

SIOUX FALLS, S.D., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- CoSentry, a recognized leader in data center and managed services, announced today a hosting collaboration with Gage E-Services that will support the KDLT Television web site. The combination of Gage E-Services, a Sioux Falls based provider of web site development and CoSentry-Sioux Falls will provide a hardened facility that is designed to provide KDLT a high reliability solution that includes managed power, cooling and network connectivity.

"CoSentry was designed and equipped to be the best option in the north central region for data centers.  Our data center was designed to balance extreme density computing environments with economic requirements to be as energy efficient as possible. The facility is also designed to meet the region's most extreme weather conditions as well as power disruptions," commented Steve Bruggeman, a Solutions Consultant at CoSentry's Sioux Falls location. "Addressing elements such as dual power grids, energy efficient cooling, certification standards and tornado resistant construction is critical, but is often overlooked based on budget considerations.  The design and operational elements incorporated by CoSentry made it possible for CoSentry to meet KDLT and Gage E-Services expectations," he continued. "We have watched the growth of Gage E-Services and understand why clients trust their work."

Matt Gage, CEO for Gage E-Services added, "The CoSentry Sioux Falls data center is precisely what our clients and end users are looking for, a facility that  has been hardened with multiple layers of physical and logical security, including the latest technology from Cisco Systems. The CoSentry-Sioux Falls Data Center is designed to house critical applications for clients who seek to maintain the highest levels of uptime available. We know that major utility companies, large ecommerce firms, transportation firms and financial organizations are already using the CoSentry Network, so we know KDLT will be protected."

Mari Ossenfort, General Manager with KDLT Television said that "The KDLT Television web site is a critical component of our stations ability to serve the region. It is imperative that our channels of communication be open and available to provide information."

Celebrating its 10 year anniversary this year, CoSentry has become the region's leader in data center management and disaster recovery services.  With a network of four data centers, three work recovery sites and the only print recovery center in the region, CoSentry can address the needs of clients large and small.  The CoSentry-Sioux Falls Data Center uniquely capitalizes on the electrical power availability of the region as well as important other advantages including available communications networks, and well trained technical talent.
