Waco ITG Launch

Waco-based Information Technology Gateway (ITG) expected to impact local economy and global reach of Central Texas community
DALLAS – September 16, 2009 – Clearview International LLC announced today the completion of a unique, multi-purpose data center that will become a nearly failsafe solution for clients’ business continuity and disaster recovery programs, while also enhancing the global reach of the Central Texas business community. Located in Waco, Texas, the new Information Technology Gateway (ITG) will be home to enterprise hosting, managed services and business process outsourcing for companies operating throughout Texas and beyond.
The 43,000-square-foot facility includes the following security and business continuity features that can withstand the physical, virtual and personnel disruptions that nationwide disasters create:
Disaster Recovery
Today, most data centers operate on a cold-site recovery plan that requires building a solution after a disaster. Further, good disaster recovery plans and better data security are increasingly becoming a corporate requirement brought about by global security and weather-related threats. Clearview’s high-availability approach has a recovery solution built in. That means customers experience little or no downtime in the face of a disruption.
The Waco Information Technology Gateway repurposes a Cold War nuclear fall-out shelter, providing physical security previously unmet in the commercially available data center market. Its Central Texas location is within a 100-mile radius of Dallas, Austin and San Antonio, and within 200 miles of Houston, allowing for true data replication between the Waco ITG and clients in those cities. In addition, the Waco location is easily accessible by car in the event that the nation’s airways are disrupted and is located on a power grid separate from Texas’ major city systems, providing an advantage during potential blackouts and brownouts.
Jay Looney, Clearview partner, notes, “Disaster recovery and business continuity are becoming more and more important to clients every day. We have developed a business unit to specifically focus on these important business issues, turning what otherwise might have been catastrophes into predictable, manageable continuity and recovery scenarios.”
Global Gateway
Through high-speed data transport, the ITG provides the Waco area in Central Texas a new path to global corporations. The data center incorporates diverse fiber paths to a carrier hotel in Dallas with access to more than 200 international carriers. This allows companies to safely keep and access their information in Waco.
‘America First’
Waco’s positive business climate and availability of highly skilled employees makes it a U.S. alternative to companies contemplating outsourcing overseas. Clearview is working with the Texas State Workforce Commission to find ways to keep jobs here and to train and transfer knowledge to workers who can stay in Texas.
“ ‘America First’ is Clearview's approach to not-so-remote application outsourcing and business process outsourcing,” said Jay Battershell, Clearview partner. “While off-shoring has come to be a part of many business' strategies, Clearview can offer on-shore services that offer superior services and come close in price to many foreign soil solutions.”
Paul Kite Company teamed with Clearview as developers of the facility. Cody Campbell, executive vice president of New Development for Paul Kite Company, said, “We are thrilled about completing the Waco ITG project, and thrilled about our partnership with Clearview. This development is part of a broad, nationwide data-center development initiative for us. In this challenging economic time it is a testament to the effectiveness of our strategy and the proficiency of our team.”
