Cogeco Data Services Launches Canada–s First Geo Redundant Multi-Hypervisor-Public Cloud and Self Service Management Portal

TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 03/04/15 — Cogeco Data Services, a Canadian provider of fully managed ICTsolutions, today announced the availability of its enhanced Public Cloud Virtual Data Centre (VDC) service and self-service customer portal. First to market in Canada, the new geo-redundant Public Cloud IaaS platform provides customers with the choice between flexible enterprise-class virtual environments, including Microsoft–s Hyper-V and VMWare–s vSphere platforms.

“At Cogeco Data Services we are focused on helping our customers embrace cloud solutions that align with their business strategy and vision,” said Susan Verma, Director, Product Development, Cogeco Data Services. “Our new Public Cloud provides customers with the flexibility to design a cloud solution that fits their application requirements and combines the security, control, and performance characteristics of an enterprise private cloud with the cost, elasticity and scalability of the public cloud.”

With four data centres in Canada and connected by Cogeco Data Services– extensive wholly-owned, all-optical network, the Public Cloud Virtual Data Centre service is hosted on a high-availability multi-tenant platform within data centres that are owned and operated by Cogeco Data Services and designed to tier 3 standards.

“Data residency matters. Our customers tell us that knowing where their data is hosted and ensuring that it meets regulatory compliance requirements is of critical importance to them. With our geo-redundant Virtual Data Centre, enterprises can trust that even in the event of a disaster their data will remain in Canada,” added Verma.

As part of its suite of cloud services, Cogeco Data Services provides customers with a comprehensive, single point ICT solution that reduces complexity and creates transformational value for businesses that is backed by industry-leading service level agreements and the company–s wholly-owned all optical network.

, a not-for-profit social enterprise that connects well-qualified interns with leading organizations, chose Cogeco Data Services because the new VDC service improves its IT performance and helps address the challenge of rising IT costs.

“Improved IT performance is critical to our ability to meet the accelerating technology change in the marketplace,” said Naguib Gouda, President, Career Edge. “Our constituents-clients who are launching their career through paid internships-and our employer partners who hire them expect 24/7 access to our services.”

“With the on-demand compute model, we get more resources for less cost, giving us rapid scalability and a simple self-service deployment model” added Dewey Mai, IT Manager, Career Edge.

All customers subscribing to the new platform will also have access to the Cogeco Data Services– new self-serve portal capabilities through which they can manage, configure and automate their cloud environment in a customized manner suited to their unique ICT requirements. This includes access to real-time visibility, the ability to take advantage of many self-service functions including a comprehensive dashboard view of all services and a menu of all tools necessary to manage subscriptions.
