Cbeyond has opened its newest regional data center, located in Las Vegas, aimed at optimizing the delivery of cloud services to small and medium-sized business (SMB) customers and channel partners in the Western region of the U.S.
The facility doubles the size of Cbeyond’s cloud data center infrastructure capacity, enhancing support for SMBs and managed services providers (MSPs) using Cbeyond’s TotalCloud Data Center platform, as well as its managed hosting and other cloud services.
“Businesses and the IT providers that serve them desire proximity to the cloud through a combination of advanced cloud services, high-speed network access and 24/7 support,” said Tim Myers, CIO at Cbeyond. “Our new Las Vegas data center location offers state-of-the-art cloud computing and storage, and strong backbone network presence, in a secure, stable environment that is optimal for serving the Western region.”
In operation since November 2013, the expanded computing and network capacity also sets a firm foundation for business continuity, disaster recovery, offsite backup and data replication services, all of which are increasingly important business continuity requirements for compliance-focused businesses, such as law practices, medical practices and financial services firms.
The data center is also service organization controls (SOC 2) certified, another important requirement for industry-specific privacy and security standards compliance such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Payment Card Industry security standards (PCI SS).
In addition to Las Vegas, Cbeyond operates cloud services data centers in Atlanta and Louisville, Ky., as well as an additional data center in Dallas.
