DataPoint currently operates in six cities including Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Columbus, and Boston. DataPoints new data center will provide companies from the greater Baltimore region with the ideal environment for economically hosting their business critical applications, enabling them to increase the availability of their companies data. With the deployment of our more advanced product suites, particularly in the Cloud-Virtual and Managed Services applications, we have expanded dramatically to serve our growing customer base. Our second data center is being built in response to the regions appetite for more cost-effective and reliable IT outsourcing solutions, and driven by customer demand for our specific products and services, Curtis DePass, General Manager of DataPoint, states.

DataPoint continues to be the leader in managed hosting and the largest data center company in the Greater Baltimore region. The new facility will provide them with the capacity to meet the demand for high quality data center space in Baltimore and is designed as a platform for their managed service offerings. These services allow the customer to focus on their business critical applications and not have to worry about the cost of building and maintaining the infrastructure that houses their IT environment.

DataPoint has had growth and expansion on its mind for quite some time now. The other seven data centers, located in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Boston and Columbus, are all in the process of installing upgrades, making expansions and deploying new technologies.

Together, they form a network of data centers that work seamlessly to provide high quality colocation and managed hosting services regardless of location. The firms parent company; Continental Broadband LLC, acquired or built these businesses at different times, which resulted in different brand names. With four of the six markets now operating under the brand name Expedient, the parent company decided to adopt Expedient as its brand in all markets, including Baltimore. Since our multi-market capabilities have become so important to our customers seeking geographic redundancy and disaster recovery alternatives, we believe this will eliminate confusion for our customers and prospective customers, who may choose to take advantage of our multi-market capabilities said Curtis DePass, DataPoints General Manager.
