Indiana-based Baseline Data Services, LLC, was looking for data center space to continue growing its disaster recovery services business. Coincidentally, Online Tech was in the process of investing $10 million to open a secure<\/a>, compliant<\/a>, enterprise-class hosting facility in nearby Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

The rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n

The two organizations were so impressed with each other that not only did Baseline become the first customer at Online Tech\u2019s new Indianapolis data center<\/a>, they also formed a partnership to extend each other\u2019s services to their respective clients. A fiber running between Baseline\u2019s facility and Online Tech\u2019s Indiana data center<\/a> — which opened for business on October 1 — provides convenient and secure communication for shared customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I met the executives and engineers at Online Tech, I felt like they were an extension of the way we run our business,\u201d said Baseline founder and president Lance Thompson.<\/p>\n

Baseline\u2019s focus is strictly on providing disaster recovery solutions, online data protection and virtual private servers to hundreds of companies across 44 states. It has a perfect track record of 100-percent recovery success after more than 100 confirmed disasters.<\/p>\n

After more than 25 years in the industry, Thompson has seen expectations for disaster recovery change significantly. His company is focused on meeting the most demanding ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past, people were very happy if they could be recovered in less than 24 hours,\u201d he said. \u201cNow, sometimes people need to literally fail over. If they go down in production, they need it back up in a matter of minutes. We\u2019re capable of doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baseline\u2019s disaster recovery solutions include core processors, critical servers, image processing systems and individual applications. Not just core software systems are backed up \u2013 Baseline adds to backup configuration any third-party applications considered important to a client\u2019s operation, including email exchange servers and domain controllers.<\/p>\n

In the event of a disaster, Thompson said Baseline\u2019s engineers \u201cbecome an extension of the customers\u2019 IT departments\u201d and will recreate their server environment for them so IT can focus on restoring production.<\/p>\n
