"PeakColo has been expanding significantly with its enterprise-class Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and with our WhiteCloud Services and technology solutions. We have been looking for the right opportunity to expand into the Northwest. Our customers have been asking us to establish a presence there," states Luke Norris, CEO and Founder of PeakColo. "The opportunity to accomplish this expansion with Digital Fortress not only supports our industry leading business model but significantly enhances it with their value-add services and exemplary operational model".
Digital Fortress, Inc., www.dfcolo.com, is a newly formed operator of datacenter colocation facilities in Seattle, WA.

Timothy Doherty, Digital Fortress' Chief Operating Officer said, "The growth and technical requirements presented to us by PeakColo, while demanding and leading-edge for the typical datacenter, were accommodated in our standard operating model. We are excited to have PeakColo add Digital Fortress as a major PeakColo cloud services node."
In addition to space, redundant power and cooling, Digital Fortress offers redundant 10Gbps+ bandwidth, expert remote-hands, and other value-added support services to complement its core colocation services.
