Data center and managed hosting provider Hosted Solutions (hostedsolutions.com) will host an educational seminar on data center design for graduate students in the North Carolina State Jenkins Graduate School of Management on November 14 at 8:00 a.m. The seminar will discuss the design and multiple redundancies built into the overall framework of a data center facility, and how corporations can use data centers to increase the productivity, security and reliability of their IT systems and infrastructure.

The seminar will highlight real-world case studies as well as review the many advantages of using a data center environment including faster provisioning and installation, data center design and redundancies, increased capacity, greater flexibility and scalability, easier application access, round-the-clock specialized support and better business continuity and disaster recovery.

Kevin Farnham, Hosted Solutions Raleigh sales manager, said: "Hosted Solutions is pleased to host the Masters of Accounting students from NC State. Anytime a corporation can partner with local institutions of higher learning to broaden the educational experience of their local students, the experience is positive from not only a corporate standpoint, but from the community perspective as well. These venues for thought collaboration and sharing of industry best practices are a great opportunity for students to tap the knowledge and expertise of the brightest minds in the industry."
