FileBank's Data Center Is Safer Than Anticipated.

The recent hurricane scare left some New Jersians, and New Yorkers a little frightened that they were going to experience another Hurricane Sandy. Luckily for FileBank and our employees/customers, we slept tight knowing that the secure Archive Center was not going to be tampered with by Mother Nature.


Our football field long and football field wide Data Center was withstand winds up to 135 mph. We live up to our name, ensuring our facility is safe and secure

FileBank’s President, Greg Copeland searched for the perfect, secure facility in 2004. His goal was to provide clients with a safe storage center. “I never envisioned Hurricane Sandy, but when I was reviewing the blueprints, I noticed the building could only withstand 85 mph winds. I didn’t think that was enough.” After debating with the architects, he decided to redesign the facility, making it withstand almost double that strength of winds as before.


Having a company care about the safety of documents as much as our clients do is a characteristic we at FileBank are proud to possess. We not only make sure our clients are 100% satisfied with the services we provide, but also assurance knowing their documents will never be ruined; that is what we call…priceless.

Cloud Hosting Reduces Risk of Data Loss

by Bryan Finlayson
As super-storm Sandy pounded the East Coast this week, causing power outages and flooding, many public officials and office managers were unable to access their office computer applications. This problematic situation is why your organization should consider cloud hosting your applications with FileBank.
If FileBank hosted your applications, you’d be up and running and able to work from home despite a disaster event. That’s because FileBank offers safe, secure, and reliable cloud hosting services that ensure you’ll be able to access your applications, no matter where you are or what device you use.
A FileBank cloud hosting account gives you the peace of mind that your applications will be accessible from virtually anywhere. It also gives your organization an additional layer of redundancy for your data. Redundancy is important because it helps reduce the risk of data loss to your organization. Some of the ways that data redundancy via cloud hosting applications can help improve your organization’s performance include:
·         Reduced IT-related costs on hardware and software expenses
·         Improved value to the organization as a result of credible strategies to mitigate and manage records and information-related risks
·         Improved compliance with records and information-related regulatory requirements
·         Minimized operational disruptions
·         Improved management of information
·         Improved knowledge sharing throughout the organization

As an enterprise content management firm, FileBank provides the redundant infrastructure you need to protect your data.

FileBank’s data center uses 128-bit encoding and firewall protection to ensure that your data is safe and secure, and our full-time IT staff ensures that software is continuously updated and running.

Super-Storm Sandy Update

By Bryan Finlayson


On Monday super-storm Sandy struck the Tri-State area, flooding entire communities and leaving thousands of New Jersey and New York residents without power. Despite these dangerous conditions, we are happy to announce that FileBank did not skip a beat. FileBank’s archive center is undamaged, its server stayed powered, and our clients’ records and information have remained safe and secure.

FileBank’s archive center was specially designed for extreme-weather conditions. The archive center includes various features for disaster-prevention such as:

·         A windowless exterior armored with concrete plating and able to withstand 125-mile-per-hour winds;
·         A complex drainage system that channels water into a 20-foot-deep underground silo, two catch basins, and overflow pipes leading to the Pompton River;
·         A super-level 45,000-square foot concrete floor inside the archive center with over three-inches of flood protection, ensuring that even 100,000 gallons of water spread out over the surface area of the archive center would not touch records on lower-level shelves;
·         An industrial-strength generator to ensure that FileBank’s servers stay powered for up to two weeks in the event of a power outage;
·         Steel vault doors to keep records safe;
·         A facility positioned on a hill far removed from rivers and lakes.

FileBank has invested nearly $1 million in disaster prevention and preparedness to ensure that our clients’ records and information are protected from extreme weather and flooding. That’s why FileBank prides itself in delivering safety, security, and peace of mind to clients despite any disruptive, unpredictable, and widespread disaster events.
