Recent increase in cloud (remote) computing storage awareness has pushed traditional Data Collocation businesses to the forefront of hot technology trends. The advent of Tablet computing devices, Smartphone technology and Enterprise data storage is driving demand for remote data and application storage. Products like iPad, smart phones and mobile apps use limited storage capability and access cloud technology via the Internet, thus allowing the majority of heavy lifting to be performed by massive computing storage devices located in places like 421 West Church.

 

The migration of personal Enterprise and Commercial data away from the customer premise to safe secure environments continues to enhance the profitability of Cloud companies like 421 West Church. Recent high level acquisitions surrounding cloud computing has made the sector hot as ATT, Verizon, Dell, IBM, HP, Akamai, Rackspace, Equinix and others, compete to consolidate cloud computing capacity.

 

"I am really excited about our future, we have been executing a strategic plan of building a multi Fiber Carrier Hotel for five years and the demand is unprecedented” said Wingert who has been in the Telecommunications and Data business since 1989.
