For protection from natural or man-made threats, or for compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and other regulations, large organizations know they need a disaster recovery and business continuity program. To implement such a program, Alaska organizations require protected, out-of-state data hosting combined with local hands-on support, connected with secure bandwidth to your primary and back-up data facilities. ACS is the only Alaska provider to offer such an integrated package.

Whatever happens in Alaska, ACS can keep your organization’s data safe to help you continue or restore business operations.


Your local data center can be mirrored in a state-of-the-art secure facility configured to meet your data storage needs. The center is manned and monitored 24x7x365 with remote hands available to provide local support, reducing your staff’s need to travel.


Your business continuity plans specify how much and how often your data needs to be backed up – and if real time access is needed – as well as the required response time for your business recovery team. ACS Complete Solution for Remote Data Hosting product line will meet your requirements for space, power, connectivity, and lightning-fast access when needed.


With the ACS Complete Solution for Remote Data Hosting, the bandwidth to the Hillsboro center is adjustable to match your requirements and priced to meet your needs. When your bandwidth needs are low, for example during routine operations, the size and price of your connection will also be low. But, with ACS Complete Solution for Remote Data Hosting, when you need more bandwidth, whether for testing or to recover from an emergency, your maximum bandwidth will be available for you.


ACS’ fully meshed in-state data networks and dual submarine cables provide safe transport from your corporate LANs and local data centers to our site in Hillsboro, OR.


The ACS Hillsboro center is connected via diverse and redundant routes to major Internet nodes in Portland and Seattle. Your business recovery team will have immediate access to your corporate files and systems from their back-up location – which may be within or outside of Alaska – and be positioned to restore or continue operations for your organization.


ACS is the only company owning the resources in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and in-between to provide an integrated solution to fulfill your disaster recovery plans. One company, one solution, one network with end-to-end monitoring and control.
