LONDON – Primus Telecommunications opened its new Internet Data Centre (IDC) in London, Ontario today. The new facility houses and manages “mission critical computer server hardware and software assets and addresses a demand from local small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) for better IT support,” reads its press release.
“Small businesses with fewer than 100 employees and medium-sized firms that have between 100 and 500 employees make up 97.7% of businesses in Canada. To address common challenges faced by SMBs, such as lack of resources to dedicate to IT staff and infrastructure, Primus’ London IDC provides a cost-effective, secure, safe and reliable location to house IT infrastructure.”
"This new IDC in London allows small- and medium-sized businesses across southwestern Ontario to become more productive and focus on their specialized business operations so they can in turn innovate more aggressively,” said A.J. Byers, senior vice-president, Primus
Business Services.
The first phase of the new 22,000 square foot Class-A data centre includes 3,500 square feet of raised floor area. Located in an unmarked location with a single secure entrance, the IDC offers protection for servers allowing for maximized up time during a power failure using redundant uninterruptible power supply and a backup diesel generator.
