SAN FRANCISCO, May 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital
Realty (NYSE: DLR), a leading global provider of data center,
colocation and interconnection solutions, announced today it has
reached an agreement with The Shadowserver Foundation to support
the foundation's data center infrastructure needs at Digital
Realty's facility in Oakland,
California.
The Shadowserver Foundation, a nonprofit security organization
working to make the internet secure for everyone, launched a search
for a data center provider offering the footprint, connectivity and
flexibility needed to support its growing collection, processing
and analysis of critical internet security data that helps
businesses safeguard operations. By deploying The
Shadowserver Foundation's infrastructure using Network Hub on
PlatformDIGITAL™, the foundation will be able to scale its business
by optimizing network performance and interconnecting network
traffic flows to create centers of data exchange.
"Managing disparate traffic flows and network performance is
becoming increasingly complex as businesses adapt to meet their
customers' growing demands," said Digital Realty Chief Technology
Officer Chris Sharp. "With
Network Hub on PlatformDIGITAL™, organizations can break through
data gravity barriers to scale digital business. We're
excited to be working with The Shadowserver Foundation in
Oakland and we look forward to
supporting their continued growth."
Digital Realty's Oakland data
center offers direct access to Silicon Valley and the ability to
support high-density deployments, providing agility and flexibility
to enable customers to meet their growing data center requirements.
With access to over 60 networks within Digital Realty's
Bay Area Connected Campus, the Oakland data center is ideally positioned to
help The Shadowserver Foundation streamline its data center
network, providing flexibility to easily migrate its gear to a
single location over time.
"Our mission as one of the world's leading resources for
internet security is to equip organizations with the research and
tools they need to reinforce their protection and remediation
efforts," said Richard Perlotto,
Director, The Shadowserver Foundation. "Earlier this year, we
began our search for a provider to host our data center, seeking a
partner who offered the flexibility and expertise we need to
support us as our business evolves. With Digital Realty, we
have the infrastructure we need to be able to more effectively
monitor and prevent dark web and illegal activity on the
internet."
