The University wants a flexible solution to accommodate growth and scale. ViaWest’s colocation solutions can be easily integrated with other services such as managed services – creating the ultimate in personalized configurations.
“Education is a vital resource that is experiencing tremendous growth rates due to a proliferation of data,” said John Greenwood, regional vice president of Sales and General Manager for ViaWest.
