365 Data Centers Rebrands & Upgrades Key Business Continuity Sites

365 Data Centers Rebrands and Upgrades Key Business Continuity Sites

Southeast and Northeast business continuity spaces acquired as part of Sungard colocation and network businesses integrated into 365’s ecosystem.

NORWALK, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–365 Data Centers, a leading provider of network-centric colocation, cloud solutions, and network connectivity, announces enhanced business continuity capabilities to serve customers at its data center facilities in two regional markets: Smyrna/Atlanta, Georgia, and Marlboro/Boston, Massachusetts.

Both dedicated and shared space along with connectivity at these facilities has been significantly improved. This ensures that existing and prospective customers in 365’s Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and New England markets have access to regional, high-availability business continuity space and all of 365’s highly resilient and interconnected colocation, network and cloud services. In addition, 365 continues to provide similar services on a smaller scale at its Carlstadt, New Jersey, and Philadelphia data center facilities to serve its current and prospective mid-Atlantic region customers.

“Our now enhanced business continuity services meet the most discerning needs, providing the venues and environment that customers need to operate in the normal course of business,” comments Bob DeSantis, CEO of 365 Data Centers. “Coupled with proximity to our colocation, network, internet, cloud, and managed service capabilities, 365 customers can be assured that their business and deliverables to their customers will continue without interruption.”

With this recent rebranding and upgrade, 365 Data Centers’ Smyrna and Marlboro business continuity facilities now boast 350 and 250 seats, respectively, conference and break rooms, reliable PC workstations, telephones, and printer access. These suites are supported by highly resilient critical infrastructure to ensure continuous availability. This includes UPS supported power with emergency backup generators available in an N+1 configuration to provide continuous operations during utility outages.

365 Data Centers’ business continuity services offer customers a reliable and proven solution to maintain, sustain, and deliver on their corporate promises regardless of what natural or man-made event may occur to challenge normal day-to-day operations. This service guarantees 24/7/365 access and includes conditioned space, an ethernet drop, and offers partitioned walls and individual access doors to ensure security and privacy. All customers gain access to services such as dedicated internet access and direct connectivity into their network or virtual environment located at any of 365 Data Centers’ 20 data center facilities.

The benefits of an established business continuity plan go beyond disaster preparedness. It is especially vital when dealing with confidential or time-sensitive data, making this a required service for hospital systems and regulated industries such as financial services, banks, investment funds, and insurance companies, which are required to follow strict continuity protocols set forth by state, federal, and county entities.

“The addition of these key sites will ensure that our existing and prospective customers will have access to high quality, high availability business continuity solutions,” says Steve Oakie, Chief Revenue Officer of 365 Data Centers. “This will particularly benefit our large customer base in Florida and within the Northeast corridor. This development bolsters 365’s role as a leading single-source provider of IT infrastructure and business continuity services.”

Collectively, these service offerings deliver enhanced support for enterprise-class digital performance. For more information, visit: www.365datacenters.com.

365 Data Centers Acquires Atlantic Metro

365 Data Centers Acquires Atlantic Metro

365 Data Centers, a leading provider of network-centric colocation and other Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions, announces its acquisition of Atlantic Metro Communications, which provides tailored colocation, network and cloud services to large and mid-size enterprises. While continuing to build 365’s presence in the data-intensive northeast corridor, the transaction solidifies 365’s position as one of the largest, privately held IaaS providers in the Eastern U.S.

The acquisition adds a data center facility in Herndon, Virginia, along with partner operated colocation space and available power in northern Virginia and Los Angeles. The transaction delivers 65 additional network points-of-presence (PoPs), particularly in the Boston, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Virginia metro markets and several international locations. The deal also contributes cloud platforms in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Miami and Los Angeles. 365 is now positioned to serve customers at its 13 redundantly interconnected data centers and 5 additional partner operated facilities, and from 86 PoPs and 7 cloud platform locations.

“This transaction is a milestone event for both companies,” says Bob DeSantis, Chief Executive Officer of 365 Data Centers. “365’s acquisition of a highly respected business with a track record of providing customers with high touch, hybrid infrastructure solutions is a tribute to Atlantic Metro’s management and employees, who will become part of the 365 team. For 365, this acquisition expands our geographic and infrastructure footprint, complements our existing IaaS offerings, and significantly increases our customer base, revenue, and cash flow – all of which greatly benefits our customers. 365 remains strategically disciplined with a focus on network-centric colocation assets and complementary network and virtual services in edge markets within the northeast quadrant of the United States, Tennessee and Florida.”

Atlantic Metro’s founders and key leaders will join the 365 executive team, reporting to DeSantis. Stephen Klenert has been named 365’s Senior Vice President, Customer Solutions & Implementation; James Cornman becomes 365’s Chief Technology Officer; and Steve Oakie joins 365 as Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing. “The product knowledge and expertise of these industry veterans will be invaluable as we quickly integrate into one, robust 365 brand,” comments DeSantis.

“Since 2011, we’ve built a company that we’re very proud of and did it without a lot of capital,” says Matthew Lombardi, CEO of Atlantic Metro. “This transaction will enable continued growth through increased investment in infrastructure and managed services. 365 has a talented team of experienced investors, operators, and technologists who share our vision and bring enterprise-scale resources. This combined technology platform provides 365 with an advantage at an exciting time in our industry.”

The Atlantic Metro acquisition continues 365’s rapid growth trend. Over the last year, the company acquired colocation businesses and facilities in New Jersey and Long Island. Last month, 365 announced that Stonecourt Capital acquired a majority stake in the company and original investors Lumerity Capital and Longboat Advisors reinvested into the new partnership. That transaction provided 365 with substantial financial resources to fund its internal and external growth strategies.

Q Advisors, a global TMT investment banking boutique, acted as exclusive financial advisor to Atlantic Metro. Shipman & Goodwin LLP and Polsinelli PC served as legal counsel to 365, and Ferdinand IP served as legal counsel to Atlantic Metro. Affiliated funds and accounts of Cerberus Business Finance, Everberg Capital, and ORIX Corporation USA’s Special Opportunities Group provided financing for the transaction.

Lance Hirt, Managing Partner at Stonecourt, commented, “We are very impressed by the portfolio of data center and fiber assets that Bob and the 365 team have successfully integrated. The Company’s blue chip enterprise and carrier customer base creates a unique platform. We are excited to partner with Bob, Lumerity Capital, Longboat Advisors, and the 365 team to deploy significant additional capital to accelerate the Company’s growth trajectory. We are already engaged on several near-term acquisition opportunities which will meaningfully enhance the Company’s service offerings.”

Matt Kim, Managing Partner of Lumerity Capital and a continuing Board member of 365, stated, “This transaction represents an important milestone for the Company as it recognizes the unrivaled achievements of the team to significantly scale and transform the business into a leading provider of hybrid data infrastructure services. We look forward to partnering with Stonecourt to support Bob and the 365 team in executing on the Company’s growth strategy and in enhancing the Company’s value to its customers.”

Enhanced Available Power at our Tampa Data Center

365 Data Centers Significantly Enchances Available Power at its Tampa Data Center

365 Data Centers, a leading Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider in 12 primarily edge markets for carrier, content and enterprise customers, announces the addition of a new 4,000 amp Direct Current (DC) plant at its Tampa, Florida facility. 365 Data Centers has upgraded its DC power system with a new Vertiv NetSure 8000 4,000-amp A&B DC plant with expansion capacity up to 16,000 amps. The new system is both efficient and reliable, allowing for expansion without any downtime to the customer, and it offers state-of-the-art digital continuity, which enables remote monitoring and seamless adjustments to customer loads.

“The newly installed power system almost doubles the capacity of the former plant, allowing for larger DC power deployments, while ensuring that our clients’ data stays protected and accessible no matter the circumstances, which is our highest priority,” said Sam Zurzolo, 365 Data Centers’ VP, Data Center Operations. “This new plant will enable our carrier, content and enterprise customers to continue to grow and expand with 365 Data Centers, easily scaling without interruption.”

365’s network-centric colocation facility, located at 655 North Franklin Street in the heart of downtown Tampa, features redundant power, cooling, connectivity and 24/7/365 security. With access to 25 different carriers, the data center allows customers to choose the connectivity and services that best meet their requirements and tap into the Tampa Internet Exchange. Features at this location include 31,000 total square feet, 1.6 MW of available power, DC power A and B options, direct connectivity to 25 carriers, and 365’s fully redundant, interconnected network. Like all 12 of 365’s data centers, the Tampa facility is HIPAA, PCI DSS, SSAE 18, SOC 2 and ISAE 3402 compliant.
