Company launches its next-generation data center platform.

i/o Data Centers ("i/o"), a provider of enterprise colocation and data center solutions, today announced the launch of i/o ANYWHERE, the next-generation data center platform.

The company avers that i/o ANYWHERE:

• is a fully-integrated data center platform that provides enterprises, governments and service providers with unprecedented flexibility, reliability and energy-efficiency.
• includes 100% of the critical infrastructure required for an always on data center. The platform is managed by the company's Operations team and includes primary and backup power generation, power conditioning, cooling and network connectivity. At the foundation of the i/o ANYWHERE platform is the i/o OS, a fully integrated data center monitoring, alarming, remote control and management operating system.
• is neither a re-purposed shipping container nor real estate. It is an enterprise grade data center solution managed to a 100% uptime Service Level Agreement by the company's Operations team.
  

It explains that the patent-pending i/o ANYWHERE data center platform is built on a architecture that can scale to tens of megawatts of uninterruptible power and thousands of cabinets in a single platform deployment. The design provides compartmentalization, continuous cooling, concurrent maintainability and rapid scalability. The platform's modules can be configured, delivered and operational in a matter of weeks due to the company's direct control over design, manufacturing, installation and operations. This results in faster time-to-market and lower costs.

The company claims that this latest innovation from its Engineering and Product Development team is based on years of enterprise data center operation, research and investment. By working closely with its customers and integrating its current technology, the company has built a data center solution that addresses enterprise requirements for high-availability, geographic neutrality, just-in-time scalability, compartmentalization, concurrent maintainability and value.

George Slessman, CEO of i/o, said, "It is no longer necessary for customers to buy power, cooling, and network connectivity ahead of known requirements or in a location that is not ideal. i/o ANYWHERE gives enterprise customers the ability to deploy operational data center capacity wherever and whenever they need it, in or out of a building, on or off the utility grid. Our enterprise customers can now acquire data center capacity the same way they do processing, storage and network, when they need it." According to Slessman, "i/o ANYWHERE again proves that not all data centers are created equal."
