VICTORIA – Nestled in obscurity in the Greater Victoria area is a rather unique facility. It’s a structure designed to withstand pretty much anything – including the coming Big One! CUBE Global Storage’s vast and virtually impenetrable structure has been constructed to withstand the worst that man or Nature could throw at it. From an ability to endure a 9.5 magnitude earthquake, hurricane force winds and even the crashing surge of a tsunami.
“When people see the name CUBE Global Storage they automatically think we’re another U-Lock type of operation, but really, we’re something far different. Certainly one part of our business is storage, but it’s a very particular type of storage dealing with business information,” explained CUBE’s Sales Manager David Miller.
CUBE was created to provide off-site document storage. The facility provides an exceptional degree of security and the perfect environment for storing critical business records.
“We help our customer organize their documents, then pick them up and bring them to our facility to keep until the customer no longer needs them. It frees up valuable office space at our client’s location and provides a level of security that would be virtually impossible to achieve at a typical office,” he explained.
Even though their documents may be securely stored, the clients still have access to their documents whenever required. “We can deliver documents back to the client in as little as a couple of hours should they need them.”
CUBE’s expertise isn’t limited to just physical documents but it also extends to the realm of protecting digital information. “As part of the building’s infra structure we have a high-availability data centre which is the perfect place to keep business critical information systems and data whether it is on our servers or their own,” Miller said.
The other key service CUBE Storage provides is also based on the building’s resiliency. “A rapidly growing part of our business is providing disaster recovery and business continuity services. These services help business stay in business even after a disaster has struck. That disaster could be a large, such as a major earthquake or isolated like a fire or flooded building,” he said.
“Our facility allows them access to a safe and reliable place to maintain their critical business functions, and to keep in contact with their own customers. Businesses without a business continuity plan in place are not likely to survive a disaster. The CUBE facility is outfitted with back-up power and a wide range of failover systems and is designed to be self-sufficient for a full week. This is definitely the place to be when the Zombie apocalypse strikes.”
A safeguard of valuables, tangible, electronic and other – and an emergency business centre in the event of a system wide failure, CUBE Global Storage is the organization you hope you never have to rely on but are very glad of its existence if you ever need to. “We’re here, we offer a diverse range of services and we’ve adapted to the changing needs of our clients. We’re ready today to deal with whatever tomorrow has to offer,” Miller said.
