VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March
23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Uniserve Communications Corporation
(Uniserve) is pleased to announce expanded access to data centre
facilities across Canada, further strengthening its data centre
portfolio to meet the evolving needs of its customers.
The expansion, resulting from agreements with
multiple Canadian telecommunications and data centre providers,
gives Uniserve access to 43 Tier I, Tier II and Tier III data
centre facilities across Canada - seven of which are Tier III
design/build certified, and located in Calgary, Ottawa, Toronto and
Eastern Canada. The new agreements give Uniserve a strong and
enviable toehold in the market with an increased ability to expand
their International Enterprise Solutions across Canada.
The primary focus of Uniserve's activity will be
to target inbound international business opportunities from the US,
Europe, and the Asia/Pacific markets.
Uniserve's CEO Nicholas Jeffery
said, "There are three things in play
here:
1) Canada is in a historically
good spot in terms of data sovereignty and security for both the US
and Europe, particularly in view of the UK's Brexit positioning,
along with the new, more isolationist policies of the US
administration.
2) Data Centre needs have
evolved to higher-density requirements for media, banking, and
mobile applications and hyper-scale cloud. With these new
agreements, it now gives Uniserve access to the latest leading-edge
facilities that we know our international clients are looking
for.
3) Power pricing is in play in
Canada. We can now optimize the most suitable inventory and power
strategy for our international clients."
Uniserve will continue to offer hosting at its own
DC facility in Vancouver. This capability will be strictly reserved
for Enterprise entities and those companies that need to be close
to the downtown Vancouver business district. The remainder of the
portfolio will be co-location. Uniserve can also package network
systems and application management where required.
Uniserve is also actively researching land access
opportunities to further its own build-out projects. Any other
hosting requests will now go into one of the providers Data Centre
facilities.
With Uniserve's other recent acquisitions of
Xanity, Glenbrier Technologies, and its recent announcement on
block chain as a service, Uniserve continues to aggressively grow
its opportunity pipeline.
As one of the Data Centre providers directors
said: "This is a very good opportunity for
us, we have the infrastructure and Uniserve has the breadth and
depth in this region to beautifully complement our own sales
channels. Given our network infrastructure and resiliency, Uniserve
believes there will be a significant uptake in demand for our space
and it should help to fill both our Tier II and Tier III
facilities."
