ProfitBricks, a channel-focused cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) provider, has opened an East Coast data center facility in Newark, N.J.
This complements the already existing site in Las Vegas, as well as the three Tier-4-type data centers in Germany.
“Cloud infrastructure services in the U.S. and Canada are on the rise and quickly gaining adoption with a projected growth rate of 18 percent this year, according to Gartner,” said Aaron Garza, vice president of business development at ProfitBricks. “By opening a new data center space on the East Coast near New York City, we are able to offer a more strategic footprint so customers can freely decide where to store and process their data and partners can expand their existing compute power. The new and powerful state-of-the-art colocation facility is ideally placed and includes the latest certifications, security features, and emergency backup protocols to keep data flowing.”
ProfitBricks provides IaaS cloud infrastructure services for public cloud projects meeting the needs of service providers. Customers can either set up virtual data centers by using ProfitBricks graphical Data Center Designer (DCD), or by utilizing the cloud APIs. Partner also can choose between AMD or Intel processors without restriction in composing the size of RAM allotted to the cores, the company said.
“With our completely virtualized data center technology, software-defined networking and cloud APIs, we deliver seamless ways of transition into the age of cloud-based digitalization to all of our clients,” said Achim Weiss, founder and CTO at ProfitBricks. “We are fully aware of the importance of a solid ground for migrating workloads into the cloud. Our flexible, scalable and efficient cloud technology prepares the groundwork for customers and partners striving for sustainable business models adapted to a digital age. Our new data center location means a strong corner post for continuous market growth on the world’s leading cloud market.”
