New Canadian Data Center Removes Sales Barriers, Expands Market Potential
Along with its Spring Release '13, Intronis announced it has invested in a new Canadian Data Center to ensure channel partners in Canada are able to comply with the country's federal and provincial regulations that restrict how and where data is managed. The new data center is located in Montreal, Canada and in operation now.
"With Intronis' new Canadian Data Center and proven VMware capabilities we gain a significant client services advantage and are able to provide greater peace of mind by assuring our client's data is stored in country and readily recoverable," says John Atwood, system support specialist, MicroAge IT Solutions in Alberta, Canada. "It's definitely a big win for Intronis' Canadian partners and will certainly help us better address the needs of our clients working within highly-regulated or data sensitive vertical markets such as healthcare and government."
