StratITsphere is a 24x7 Houston-based company that provides highly available data center and cloud computing services to small businesses, Fortune 500 and 1000 companies. The wholly owned data center facility is a robust, fortified, highly secured 100,000 (sq.ft.) facility on 6 acres in Katy, Texas. By leveraging our facility, technology and experts, each company such as St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital System, Spring Branch ISD, Texas Petrochemical, have access to their mission-critical systems and data at all times. This includes business continuity office space that allows main office failures to be a redundant work environment in a 24x7x365 mode. The StratITsphere facility is hardened with state-of-the-art manned and automated security systems with the capability to operate independently from the outside world for up to six days before refueling. Each business’s mission critical data and infrastructure in this data center are located in a radius outside of the 500 year floodplain, outside of major highways, outside of flight paths, outside of chemical plants, and far enough away from weather related events, but driving distance.
StratITsphere's cloud computing service eliminates barriers such as infrastructure costs, operating requirements, long implementation times and security & availability concerns that can keep businesses from full benefits of cloud computing.
StratITsphere has concentrated expertise around 5 core Infrastructure disciplines:
- Strategy and Architecture
- Security and Compliance
- Infrastructure Delivery
- Data Center Solutions
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
These disciplines are intertwined, allowing StratITsphere to uniquely position and deliver the right solutions for you and your business. Because of our flexibility in design and processes, we can craft solutions that best fit your business model. This allows you to maximize the value of your investment today and tomorrow.
