Connectria to Expand With CyrusOne in Dallas

Complex hosting specialist Connectria Hosting will expand its data center network with space at the new CyrusOne facility in Dallas. Connectria plans to use the new space to deliver its rapidly expanding cloud computing solutions and provide additional disaster recovery options to its clients. The expansion space is expected to be operational by third quarter of this year.

Connectria provides complex hosting solutions for more than 1,000 customers in over 30 countries worldwide.Eventually, Connectria expects the Texas facility to accommodate the full range of its services, which include the ability to host the widest range of dedicated server and cloud computing technologies in the industry.

“We intentionally design our facilities with the highest level of power redundancy and density to host mission-critical systems and high-density storage environments, such as the cloud,” said Josh Snowhorn, Vice President and GM of Interconnection, CyrusOne. “And from a disaster recovery perspective, we offer a solution that protects people and IT equipment, providing our customers military-grade security, reliable power and connectivity in the raised floor areas where we house equipment, as well as our critical infrastructure office suites. When you combine these attributes with our new statewide Texas Internet Exchange, you have an unbeatable solution for the Cloud. ”

Peering in the Dallas facility will enable Connectria to pull traffic from the edge of the Internet to the heart of the data center to more quickly and affordably deliver access to content providers. Peering and interconnection services are a key part of CyrusOne's "Sky for the Cloud" platform, which is designed to enable cloud performance for CyrusOne customers through dedicated data halls.

The CyrusOne facility is the fourth data center location for Connectria, which has existing locations in St. Louis and Philadelphia.
