Central Houston Chooses The Planet Storage Cloud

Central Houston is one of the most influential organizations in the Houston, Texas area. The organization is a non-profit that represents the interests of many of the businesses in central Houston. These Houston businesses are the lifeblood of the city.

Bob Eury, President of Central Houston, said:

“Our organization plays a vital role for Houston’s central core in areas critical to its long-term growth and viability. We focus on issues related to urban planning, economic development, transportation issues, public safety, governmental affairs, and cultural and entertainment programs. Our office provides a historical repository for downtown Houston, so safe data storage is critical. Just like other firms, we require off-site data storage. The Planet Storage Cloud provides redundancy and backup to protect our critical assets, and offers the peace of mind that we’re protected.”

It is the Central Houston organization that has been behind much of the efforts in redeveloping the downtown Houston area. Many of the biggest companies in Houston and perhaps the world are members: Chevron, Continental Airlines, Deloitte, ExxonMobil, JPMorgan Chase, KBR, Shell, the St. Joseph Medical Center, Bank of America, and even the Houston Branch of the private banking organization the “Federal” Reserve is a member (as “federal” as the ‘federal express’, A.K.A. FedEx).

Douglas J. Erwin, The Planet’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated:

“Central Houston sets the pace for downtown, serving as the hub for activities that impact virtually every operating core. Storage Cloud provides the capacity required to retain critical data, which Central Houston recognizes. We encourage companies, whether they host their IT infrastructure with The Planet or elsewhere, to consider storage and backup as strategic components. We’ve heard far too many stories about businesses that were unable to recover after a devastating data loss.”

The selection of The Planet’s Storage Could for their services definitely goes to show an extremely high level of trust in the Planet. It may be one of the most established clients The Planet has ever served.
