Technologent Announces the Introduction of a New Colocation Service in Montana

LAKE FOREST, CA, March 12, 2009 - Technologent, a nationwide Solutions Integrator and Sun Microsystems Executive Partner, today announced the introduction of a new colocation service. The service will be offered in conjunction with IConnect, an authorized Sun Microsystems Certified Data Center. The new “state of the art” 47,000 sq. ft. colocation facility, located in Montana, gives the companies the ability to offer customers an extremely competitively priced colocation service, as well as a comprehensive suite of services which makes data center migration to the new facility easy and painless. In addition, remote managed operations for long-range IT operations management will be offered at the facility. Technologent has established field engineers and parts caches on site to support the Montana Technology Marketplace. This allows customers to take advantage of enterprise level support for their computing needs, regardless of their desired platform.

The Montana facility, which opened in 2008, provides carrier-neutral collocation facilities and provides state-of-the-art data center space. It is also a showcase for operational efficiencies. These efficiencies, combined with the many comparative advantages available in Montana (low labor, power and real estate costs, no sales taxes, low property taxes, negligible man-made and natural risk factors, high quality labor force, etc.) enable Technologent to offer superior data center services at extremely competitive prices.

“This new service was created due to increased demand from customers for more data center space,” says Marco Mohajer, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Professional Services. “Colocation is a cost effective way for customers who don't want the hassle of operating their own data center or do not have the necessary equipment or resources to host their mission critical IT infrastructure.”

More specifically, the facility provides network and site security, with protection against fire, earthquakes, flooding, and other natural disasters. It also offers biometric access control options. Customer systems are housed in private cabinets, dedicated cages, or private suites with 24x7x365 services in facilities with redundant power, cooling, and network topologies with no single point of failure and bandwidth expansion capabilities. Service level agreements for power, cooling, and network availability are also offered.

Why should you consider this service?

  • One of the lowest cost Colocation facilities in the US with a cost savings potential of 30 – 70%
  • One of the lowest electrical power costs in the US with excess capacity (approximately .07 cents per Kwh)
  • Located in an area unlikely affected by either manmade threats (terrorist strikes, industrial catastrophes, etc.) or major natural disasters (floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, power outages, tsunamis, etc.)
  • Untapped bandwidth thru multiple dark fiber networks
  • New Hosting facility (2008) designed & built with N+1 redundancy throughout (power, cooling, connectivity, etc.)
  • No State Sales Tax on any equipment hosted in Montana
