Coastal Technologies Group Relocates Data Center and Doubles Processing Capacity - Transactions exceed 7 billion for the first time in March 2004!

Boynton Beach — April 6, 2004 — Coastal Technologies Group has relocated its data center to a facility that has provided a much larger space dedicated to housing their hardware, enabling them to double their processing capacity and significantly increase system reliability.

In their new location, the data center is monitored around the clock 365 days a year. This constant surveillance includes network monitoring for all servers and the system’s bandwidth, which verifies that the system is continually operational and that there are no alarms.

As part of the company’s renewed investment in their infrastructure, they’ve added a full-time software technician onsite whose primary focus is to monitor and maintain the system. With the addition of onsite personnel comes greatly increased system reliability and a preparedness to handle any unexpected issues immediately. The company also has access to monitor and administer systems remotely.

The new facility has significantly improved processing capacity of the data center. This increase in processing power allows CTGi to handle twice as much call detail data as before – up to as many as 12 billion calls per month. Additionally, they’ve invested in increased storage to maintain and archive processing results and raw data, which can be scaled infinitely to meet customer demand.

The facility also offers physical security via a card access system to ensure the highest level of protection of system data.

“We are positioned for the future,” said CTGi President, Richard Kane. “With the significant increase in processing capacity and the absolute reliability this new data center provides us, along with our best-in-class product line, we are poised to set a new standard for transaction processing and management in the telecommunications industry.”

The facility allows for CTGi customers to choose between leasing bandwidth from the host provider or providing it themselves. The state-of-the-art facility provides redundant OC3s, enabling the company to provide additional bandwidth as needed, and it runs a distributed parallel system with redundant hardware and server clusters.

CTGi has a strictly enforced plan for maintaining their new facility. Redundant power conditioning, environmental controls and backup generators are tested on a monthly basis.

Coastal Technologies Group, Inc. has been servicing the telecommunications industry since 1996 with its unique line of high quality software products and services. CTGi applications are utilized by some of the largest telecommunications companies in the world and have been proven to save them millions of dollars per month.
