CALGARY and TORONTO – Rogers has opened the first Tier III certified data centre in Alberta, offering Canadian and international businesses a highly reliable and certified data centre presence in Western Canada.
The facility, called Calgary_DC3, is Rogers Data Centre's second Tier III centre in Canada and is in close enough proximity to Calgary city limits to be used as a primary corporate data centre for that market, and far enough out to be used as a disaster recovery site. The 85,000 square foot facility provides access to both raised floor and business resumption space, with capacity for over 900 cabinets, state-of-the-art and highly efficient cooling systems, world-class security measures and 24/7 customer support.
The new site also gives customers the ability to implement a fully redundant in-province technology hosting solution to be used in tandem with Rogers Data Centres' Edmonton-based facility. With the opening of Calgary_DC3, Rogers now operates data centres in 15 locations across the country, servicing hundreds of small, medium, government and enterprise clients.
"We understand the pressures that organizations face when dealing with the management of corporate data and we are proud to be offering a world class data centre here in Canada," said AJ Byers, president of Rogers Data Centres, in the press release. "Regardless of the size or type of business they operate, companies will have access to unmatched offerings and expertise with the assurance that their information is located securely in an outstanding facility."
