CSC Launches 1.5MW Expansion at CoreSite's Boston and Northern Virginia Datacenters

DENVER, Feb. 16 — CoreSite Realty Corporation, a U.S. provider of powerful, network-rich data centers, today announced CSC has launched a 1.5 MW expansion at CoreSite's Boston and Northern Virginia data centers in support of a major global financial services client requirement and the deployment of the company's Trusted Cloud Services offering. Both deployments are fully operational with direct access to CSC Trusted Cloud Services currently available to CoreSite data center customers in Boston. CSC selected CoreSite based on its ability to tailor data center and interconnection products to CSC's specific requirements.

CSC's Trusted Cloud Services include three models that meet enterprise class requirements: off premises public and virtual private, on premises private and hybrid cloud. All cloud models share the same cloud fabric, the Vblock from the VCE Company, a standard rate card and service level agreements. All models are based on the pay-as-you-go pricing model and feature bronze, silver, gold and platinum support tiers. CSC provides infrastructure as a service, software as a service and platform as a service. CoreSite's Boston data center met all of the requirements necessary to facilitate the successful deployment of CSC Trusted Cloud Services including security, compliance, reliability, and network availability.
