Penske Logistics upgrades data center

April 11, 2013

Penske Logistics has completed a relocation and upgrade of its data center. The data center supports the company’s supply chain customers.

The data center was previously housed onsite at a Penske Logistics facility in Beachwood, OH. The new center is located a few miles away off-site and has increased square footage available for future data center expansion, the company said.

“This new facility is staffed 24 hours a day by data center experts and provides state-of-the-art redundancy, security, cooling and power for our technology solutions,” said Tom McKenna, senior vice president of logistics engineering and technology.

“Our company committed to this endeavor to better serve the needs of our customers with the next generation of technology infrastructure,” he added. “Enhanced disaster recovery tools are an important part of that infrastructure. Our customers will also benefit from improved system performance that comes with the addition of advanced logistics production hardware.” 

This project was jointly executed by the Penske Logistics and Penske Truck Leasing Information Technology departments.
