ProfitBricks Opens East Coast Data Center

SAN ANTONIO, May 30, 2017 -- ProfitBricks, a leading channel-focused cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider, today announced that it has opened an East Coast data center facility in Newark, New Jersey. The new data center facility in Newark, New Jersey complements the already existing site in Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as the three Tier-4-type data centers in Germany.

“Cloud infrastructure services in the U.S. and Canada are on the rise and quickly gaining adoption with a projected growth rate of 18 percent this year, according to Gartner,” said Aaron Garza, vice president of Business Development at ProfitBricks. “By opening a new data center space on the East Coast near New York City, we are able to offer a more strategic footprint so customers can freely decide where to store and process their data and partners can expand their existing compute power. The new and powerful state-of-the-art colocation facility is ideally placed and includes the latest certifications, security features, and emergency backup protocols to keep data flowing.”

“With our completely virtualized data center technology, software-defined networking, and cloud APIs, we deliver seamless ways of transition into the age of cloud-based digitalization to all of our clients,” said Achim Weiss, founder and chief technology officer at ProfitBricks. “We are fully aware of the importance of a solid ground for migrating workloads into the cloud. Our flexible, scalable, and efficient cloud technology prepares the groundwork for customers and partners striving for sustainable business models adapted to a digital age. Our new data center location means a strong corner post for continuous market growth on the world’s leading cloud market.”

Due to rapidly increasing demand for its services, ProfitBricks decided to offer enhanced geographical coverage for partners based on the East Coast of the U.S. The new data center facility in Newark, New Jersey complements the already existing site in Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as the three data centers ProfitBricks has in operation in Germany.
The worldwide public cloud services market is projected to grow 18 percent in 2017 to total $246.8 billion, up from $209.2 billion in 2016, according to Gartner, Inc. The highest growth will come from IaaS.  The new East Coast data center will help the ProfitBricks partner community capitalize on the market opportunity.
