Research In Motion, developer of the BlackBerry, plans to add about 200 high-tech jobs in Atlanta as the smartphone heavyweight spars with challenger Apple. Canada-based RIM also plans to open a data centre, which sources say would be one of the largest and most reliable of such facilities in the region.

RIM has identified a nearly 40-acre site near Alpharetta’s North Point Mall, said sources familiar with the company’s plans. RIM, which is in expansion mode, probably picked the Atlanta area because it is home to a major customer — AT&T Mobility, said Tavis McCourt, an analyst with Morgan, Keegan & Co.

Email solutions provider APM Internet has announced it will host its new email archiving and recovery service, MessageBunker in an ultra-secure facility provided by The Bunker at a former nuclear base. As well as ease of use, security of data and uptime are the keys to MessageBunker.com – a simple, robust and highly secure solution that provides an offsite email archive that simply plugs into existing email platforms – and these elements were key to the MessageBunker teams’ choice of data centre.

Adrian Mardlin, APM Internet MD, commented “We are very pleased with our choice of data centre – the team at The Bunker have provided excellent service and support.” He continues: “The facility at The Bunker is ultra secure, well away from London, and able to provide a complete end-to-end solution to connect back to our existing network in London.”
