CBTS Begins Operations at Lebanon, Ohio Data Center Facility

The Lebanon facility is connected via a state-of-the-art DWDM network to CBTS' five other Greater Cincinnati data center facilities for redundancy. The network is capable of supporting real-time replication between the data centers within the region which, in addition to its collocation offerings, makes it a premium facility for disaster recovery. The CBTS facilities undergo rigorous annual certifications including SAS70, HIPPA, and PCI compliance.

"CBTS is excited to offer this world-class facility to organizations where redundancy, security and availability are paramount," said John Burns, President of CBTS. "The combination of the technical expertise of our service team with our investment in highest caliber data center assets provides a compelling offering for our customers."

CBTS certified technicians manage the day-to-day operations of the data center facilities on a 24x7x365 basis. Security guards are positioned at the facility entrance and building entrance. CBTS utilizes state-of-the-art monitoring and management tools to provide 100% uptime service agreements. As a subsidiary of Cincinnati Bell, which has provided critical utility services to customers for over 135 years, CBTS is well positioned to provide data center solutions that have the same level of criticality.

"The Lebanon facility has the capacity, flexibility and power to meet our customers' business goals and objectives, while saving the customer an expensive capital outlay if they were to update or build their own data center," said Steve Herman, Vice President of Data Center Development.
