(PRLEAP.COM) Managed hosting solutions are being offered by OnRamp, a data center operations company with facilities in Austin, TX and Raleigh, NC, as the 2013 Hurricane Season intensifies. Although June and July typically only account for 14% of the Atlantic hurricane season's named storms, the possibility of a named storm to gain strength and transition into a hurricane still exists. For companies that house IT infrastructure along the coast, now is the time to form business continuity plans that leverage a managed hosting provider to maintain operations in the event of a natural disaster. As the likelihood of storms making landfall increases this hurricane season, OnRamp's managed hosting solutions help businesses keep their critical IT infrastructure running securely, reliably, and effectively 24/7/365, from the company's geographically stable, Austin and Raleigh data center locations.

The impact of hurricanes and related inclement weather include flooding, prolonged power outages and harsh driving conditions, all of which contribute to a loss of productivity and revenue and the inaccessibility of a company's IT infrastructure. "Whether OnRamp serves as a company's primary data storage site, or as a secondary site for managed hosting purposes, we make sure every IT operation is safely running 24/7/365," said Chad Kissinger, founder of OnRamp. "For companies who do not host their IT operations in a geographically stable part of the country, there is a risk of downtime associated with natural disasters that can result in a loss of revenue, or worse, force them to shut down their business altogether." According to the U.S. Department of Labor - Bureau of Labor Statistics, "40% of all businesses that experience a disaster never reopen. Of the remaining businesses, 25% close within the following year." OnRamp offers a number of advantages to counter the risks associated with natural disasters.

OnRamp's managed hosting solutions pair best in class hardware equipment from HP, Dell, Cisco, NetApp and EMC with redundant power, multi-homed bandwidth over fully meshed networks and around-the-clock monitoring for 100% uptime.
