Uniserve expands data centres capabilities across Canada
24 March 2018 - 12:30AM
Uniserve Communications Corporation (Uniserve) is pleased to
announce expanded access to data centre facilities across Canada,
further strengthening its data centre portfolio to meet the
evolving needs of its customers.
The expansion, resulting from agreements with multiple Canadian
telecommunications and data centre providers, gives Uniserve access
to 43 Tier I, Tier II and Tier III data centre facilities across
Canada – seven of which are Tier III design/build certified, and
located in Calgary, Ottawa, Toronto and Eastern Canada. The new
agreements give Uniserve a strong and enviable toehold in the
market with an increased ability to expand their International
Enterprise Solutions across Canada.
The primary focus of Uniserve’s activity will be to target
inbound international business opportunities from the US, Europe,
and the Asia/Pacific markets.
Uniserve’s CEO Nicholas Jeffery said, “There are three things in
play here:
1) Canada is in a historically good spot in terms of data
sovereignty and security for both the US and Europe, particularly
in view of the UK’s Brexit positioning, along with the new, more
isolationist policies of the US administration.
2) Data Centre needs have evolved to higher-density requirements
for media, banking, and mobile applications and hyper-scale cloud.
With these new agreements, it now gives Uniserve access to the
latest leading-edge facilities that we know our international
clients are looking for.
3) Power pricing is in play in Canada. We can now optimize the
most suitable inventory and power strategy for our international
clients.”
Uniserve will continue to offer hosting at its own DC facility
in Vancouver. This capability will be strictly reserved for
Enterprise entities and those companies that need to be close to
the downtown Vancouver business district. The remainder of the
portfolio will be co-location. Uniserve can also package network
systems and application management where required.
Uniserve is also actively researching land access opportunities
to further its own build-out projects. Any other hosting requests
will now go into one of the providers Data Centre facilities.
With Uniserve’s other recent acquisitions of Xanity, Glenbrier
Technologies, and its recent announcement on block chain as a
service, Uniserve continues to aggressively grow its opportunity
pipeline.
As one of the Data Centre providers directors said: “This is a
very good opportunity for us, we have the infrastructure and
Uniserve has the breadth and depth in this region to beautifully
complement our own sales channels. Given our network infrastructure
and resiliency, Uniserve believes there will be a significant
uptake in demand for our space and it should help to fill both our
Tier II and Tier III facilities.”
