Colocation America Secures Partnership with ProtectPoint
Los Angeles, CA, January 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Colocation America, a leading data center operator and managed services provider, today announced a strategic partnership with Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based ProtectPoint Security, Inc. Through the partnership, Colocation America can now offer its growing list of customers a complete security program that cost effectively monitors, manages and responds to internal and external network threats in real-time around-the-clock.

Corporate networks have become increasingly more critical to the productivity and profitability of organizations large and small. As enterprises extend these networks to suppliers, remote offices, partners and customers around the world, protecting the critical applications and business information that reside on these networks has become a primary concern of information technology executives worldwide. Colocation America is enhancing its managed security services to enable its customers to focus on their core business instead of monitoring and responding to network disruptions caused by both internal and external attacks, human error and the demands of regulatory compliance.

“As companies continue to rely on the Internet to increase efficiency and improve corporate performance, the level of security expertise needed has become difficult and costly to acquire and maintain internally,” said Michael Goldberg, vice president of sales and marketing for Colocation America. “With ProtectPoint’s extensive security knowledge and technology leadership, our suite of managed services can reduce the costs of network security and provide peace-of-mind for our customers. It will also free up their valuable IT resources to focus on other aspects of their business.”

Through its relationship with ProtectPoint, Colocation America now provides a complete suite of cost effective security services including managed intrusion detection and prevention, managed firewall and VPN, managed gateway virus and spam eradication, traffic analysis and managed content filtering.

“Today organizations of every size face security threats to their information assets and mission critical applications,” said Steve Harris, chief executive officer for ProtectPoint. “For a company to effectively safeguard its network, it takes a combination of infrastructure, software and people. By leveraging our capabilities, technology and industry expertise, Colocation America can provide its customers with a turnkey network security solution that is comprehensive and cost effective.”

Colocation America helps its customers maximize their technology investments and Internet presence through flexible, cost-effective and robust infrastructure hosting and management. The company is the California’s leading data center operator and managed services provider and enjoys unmatched geographic diversity, vast technical and engineering expertise, and one of the industry’s strongest financial positions.
