Expedient Communications Expands its Pittsburgh Footprint
24,000 sq. ft. of Additional Data Center Space and 10Gbps Network
Access Increase Expedient’s Presence in the
Pittsburgh Market
PITTSBURGH (Business Wire EON) May 9, 2008 --
Expedient Communications, a leading provider of data
center colocation and managed solutions for local business customers
in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Boston, has finalized plans to expand into
Pittsburgh’s Allegheny Center Mall complex.
The move will add an additional 24,000 sq. ft. of data center space and
state-of-the art, power, cooling and network facilities to the growing
company.
This is the second expansion announcement from Expedient in less than 90
days. In February, Expedient also announced its expansion of its
Cleveland data center.
The new Pittsburgh data center will be connected to Cleveland and other
data centers around the country via multi-Gbps, long-haul fiber
optic network. This provides direct access to multiple tier 1 providers,
a high availability network including firewalls and load balancers. In
addition, there will be on-site engineers and a Network Operating Center
(NOC) to provide premier support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This
facility will be included in Expedient’s
annual SAS70 audit to ensure it meets the commitment of providing
premium service and following best practices as with Expedient’s
other existing data centers.
Expedient President Shawn McGorry said the investment supports the tide
of new customers at Expedient that bundle its network access expertise
with its solid and reliable data center solutions. “This
past year we’ve experienced a lot of organic
growth – our customers are expanding their
services and other companies in the area are noticing the differences
between us and our competition. Our focus will continue to be providing
a high level of service and support to customers.”
Vice President of Sales at Expedient, Bryan Smith agreed, “These
expansions [in Pittsburgh and in Cleveland]
go hand-in-hand with our ability to provide complete hosted solutions to
a variety of different kinds of organizations all across the country.
Our customers like to see us evolve and I believe we are doing it while
also improving customer service which is something I know we are all
proud of as we grow.”
