Utah-based C7 Data Centers Inc. is doing really well so far this year, putting their near-decade of experience and 40,000 square feet of space between their four Utah data centers to good use even in an economic climate which is still far from having recovered.  Utah is a prime location for cautious companies who are keen to avoid the dangers of natural disasters for their data, and enjoy the relatively low cost of energy there.  It may not be the most fun place to work or visit, but it’s a very reliable setting for data center and colocation facilities, and C7 Data Centers is reaping the rewards of such a safe location in an unsteady economy.

Their latest success is beginning a multi-year agreement with Educators Mutual Insurance Association, a non-profit organization in Utah which offers insurance benefits and services to government and educational groups.  By working with C7 Data Centers, they can greatly increase the reliability of their website’s accessibility for their many clients.  Since EMIA features, for example, online enrollment and benefits account management, maximum uptime is essential.

Another success of note, also this year, is C7’s multi-year colocation agreement with Answers.com, one of the top twenty most-visited websites online.  Answers.com spokespeople have lauded C7’s flexibility, thorough range of services, and reputation, as well as their good location.

Although not every colocation facility can boast the same reliability and experience that C7 can, agreements like these are still encouraging for the future of the industry and the economy in general.
