Many businesses can’t afford to lose power for an hour, let alone the week or more that many endured following this month’s ice storm. That’s why data centers that offer electronic disaster recovery to clients became popular the minute freezing rain began to fall.  “We were working 20-hour days just to get people back up,” said Mike Bacher, director of operations at Tulsa Connect.  Local data centers like Tulsa Connect and Perimeter Technology can perform many everyday services for small and midsize businesses without dedicated tech departments, such as server storage and Web site hosting. But when the lights go out, businesses can also turn to the data centers to keep basic operations running.  “Customers can bring their work stations, and we set them up,” said Micah Moseley, director of sales for Perimeter Technology.
