To serve as technology consultants to our clients, we need to stay up to speed with the latest IT trends and solutions. To achieve that, our team of IT experts attends weekly training sessions conducted by various IT solution providers. Based on our extensive experience and sales volume with the suppliers, we receive exclusive, direct and usually in-person training from these suppliers. Our Tech Talks blog series offers a snapshot of these educational sessions.
A digital marketing agency with offices in Seattle and Salt Lake City decided to migrate from legacy infrastructure to a colocation data center to deliver better customer support and ensure compliance with PCI DSS and other regulations. The agency considered various providers and ultimately selected one of our partners, a leader in the data center solution space.
Our partner demonstrated a unique understanding of the agency’s infrastructure requirements and the ability to proactively design secure and compliant solutions. As part of our partner’s colocation and data center services, the client can access multiple carriers via a vast interconnection system and receives 24/7/365 technical support. In addition to improved compliance with regulations like PCI DSS, the agency can remotely monitor and control their IT infrastructure via their customer portal. Our partner also helped set up computing workloads and migrate hardware to the data center.
If you want to streamline IT infrastructure management while improving security and compliance, we recommend looking into data center solutions from the same supplier. During a recent meeting with our consultants, the data center service provider’s sales team reviewed the company’s background and portfolio. To make a wise purchasing decision, here’s what you should know about their offerings and how they can help your organization modernize and secure vital infrastructure.
