Kara - great writeups - thanks. I am happy to report that the EVault LTS2 service's 2nd data center on the east coast is underway and planned for summer. As you point out there is redundancy (3 copies) of data in the single data available today. Anyone wanting additional info can come to me - I've been working with this EVault cloud offering since its inception.
