Cavalier Buys Colocation Provider

Telecom company Cavalier has acquired the assets of NET Telcos, a Richmond, Virginia-based provider of colocation and managed services. The deal includes a 4,000 square foot SAS 70-certified data center in Glen Allen, Virginia operated by NET Telcos.

“As we grow our mid-market commercial customer base, we see significant demand from corporate IT departments to reduce operating expenses and avoid large capital investments," said Danny Bottoms, president and CEO of Cavalier. "At the same time, customers face significant requirements for uninterruptable service availability, backup and archiving. We will address these needs by combining a managed services product set from NET Telcos with affordable, reliable connectivity using our extensive fiber network."

The Net Telcos deal will allows Cavalier to provide additional managed services, colocation and disaster recovery services to its customers. “We are committed to providing customers new services which address their evolving business requirements. NET Telcos’ colocation and managed services are the perfect complement to Cavalier’s extensive voice and data networks," said Bottoms.
