Includes Tornado-Hardened Equipment
Weather analysis and technology provider Baron Services
announced Tuesday it has extensively expanded its headquarters in
Huntsville, AL to provide additional space for further development
of its weather detection technologies. The facility includes a
tornado-hardened state-of-the-art operations center housing the
company’s 24-hour, 7 day-a-week forecasting, data processing
and technical support services.
The 13,500-square-foot addition was completed in April and
includes a tornado-hardened server facility with one-foot thick
concrete-reinforced walls and ceiling, which will ensure
Baron’s customers get uninterrupted data delivery during the
most severe weather outbreaks. Additionally the company has doubled
its bandwidth and tripled its redundancy, enabling it to receive
and distribute data more efficiently. Furthermore, Baron Services
has tripled its generator capacity.
"I am so proud of this new facility," said Bob Baron, president
and CEO of Baron Services. "We now have the space and technologies
we need to support our customers for years to come."
The Operations Center is equipped with 10 LCD, flat-panel
television displays that aid Baron meteorologists in monitoring
incoming and outgoing weather data, as well as monitoring weather
conditions throughout the world. Equipped with the latest
ultra-high-performance workstations from Dell™, Baron’s
technical support services department is available 24-hours, 7
days-a-week.
"The backbone of our company is certainly meteorological
innovation," said Baron. "That innovative spirit and advanced
engineering has spurred the company’s growth across all five
divisions enabling it to thrive in a variety of industries."
Baron Services is XM Radio’s weather partner for the
award-winning XM WX Satellite Weather service, a trusted
information source for professional pilots and mariners. An
extension of that partnership resulted in XM NavWeather. The XM
NavWeather service utilizes Baron’s exclusive Threat Matrix
technology to track and provide drivers immediate alerts on
developing weather threats, such as hail, floods, tornado and storm
warnings.
