TORONTO – Hydro One Telecom has expanded its network to over 30 data centres across Ontario and Quebec and plans to connect to 13 additional locations in 2017.
Hydro One Telecom delivers high capacity telecommunications solutions to service providers, small and medium businesses, enterprises, wholesalers and public sector organizations via its fibre-optic network in Ontario extending into Montreal and the United States, reads the news release. It also provides high-speed data networking services for network-to-network, cloud-to-cloud, network-to-cloud and data centre-to-data centre business requirements.
In addition, Hydro One Telecom has launched a cloud-based Backup as a Service (BaaS) solution that it says will meet the needs of clients looking for a single, consolidated repository that simplifies backup and recovery of data, whether it’s stored on physical servers and virtual machines; in SaaS-based apps such as Google Apps, Salesforce.com or Microsoft Office 365; in cloud-based platforms such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure; or on desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets.
All protected data, regardless of the source, can be viewed and controlled via a dashboard for even the most complex disaster recovery and business continuity strategies, continued the company.
"Our BaaS solution will be used to help protect the critical data of our clients and give them a real-time, enterprise-wide view of its status across all protected data sources," said president and CEO Paul Madore, in the release. "By offering a secure, reliable, manageable and affordable service to our clients, we are also providing an even more valuable asset to them which is peace of mind."
