What is the added value for a busi-ness for working with a service provider like CL8 for cloud hosting and colocation facilities over doing everything in-house?A Data Center can provide better reli-ability and security. When you rent infrastructure, you are also getting the latest and greatest in terms of power, cooling, connectivity and other sup-port systems. While these services are paid for with a monthly rental fee, you do not have to make a substantial

capital investment. It shifts your IT expenditure from capital spending to operational spending. Having a Data Center handling all IT matters, means that businesses can focus on their pri-mary business. You let technology pro-fessional experts worry about the IT of your business.

What are some of the challenges you face?CL8 is continuously challenged with staying ahead of the ever-changing technological advancements as well as the growing customer demands. As hackers continue to become more and more of a threat to data, maintain-ing security is of utmost importance for our Data Center. Moreover, the Data Center is be-ing called to run much larger, more complex workloads that are often very

different from one another. In addi-tion, measuring the performance and ensuring uptime is another challenge that the Data Center faces. This also includes power and cooling accuracy and ensures the energy efficiency of the overall structure. The company invests in getting some of the most recognizable and respected credentials in the industry. These certi-fications enable us to keep up with the quick and rapidly changing trends in technology. On top of that, we consciously invest in educating our people in order to keep up with the new trends in tech-nology. The know-how and expertise of executives and staff of CL8, along with the professional standards of the company, are the real guarantee for the uninterrupted operation of the services we offer to our customers.
