MONTREAL — Cogeco Data Services says its new 100,000-square-foot data centre in Montreal is on track to launch this coming spring.

Currently under construction in the suburb of Kirkland, the company’s new state-of-the-art facility will be designed to Tier 3 standards. It will provide customers in Montreal and the surrounding area with access to advanced colocation, managed IT and cloud services.

“We are very excited to add another advanced facility to our growing data centre footprint,” said Tony Ciciretto, president and CEO, Cogeco Data Services and Peer 1 Hosting, in a news release. “The new centre is specifically designed to meet an increasing demand in the Montreal region for reliable and secure ICT solutions.

“This new facility, combined with our wholly owned network and cloud infrastructure, highlights our commitment to continued growth in the Quebec market,” Ciciretto added.

Cogeco Data Services’ Montreal facility will be the fifth location in the company’s data centre fleet, which already includes three facilities in the Greater Toronto Area and one in Barrie, Ont.
