From core network services such as IP transit, IP transport, and private networking to private cloud and managed public cloud, the full continuum of services exists to serve as the foundation of our customers’ success. This is why Investment Flexibility is so important. The network is critical, so we begin with it at the foundation. Everything builds from connections to customers and we architect, deploy and manage the infrastructure based on each client’s specifications. They see monthly bills and don’t have to hire anyone and can shift this investment whenever their business needs it.

In 2017, we made a strategic investment in Turing Group, one of the few companies on the planet that is an AWS Managed Services Partner, an AWS Consulting Partner and an AWS Public Sector Partner. Turing Group offers a suite of fully managed AWS services that begin with cloud strategy and extend to custom software development. Our proven cloud migration practice is critical as that’s a pain point a customer won’t discover until they’re in the middle of it—whether it’s a transition to private cloud, enterprise cloud or Managed AWS.

Maximized Efficiency with Hybrid Cloud

We have companies come to us regularly with an ERP system or other application they want to upgrade, except the upgrade required an upgrade of their entire environment. Companies used to invest in the physical infrastructure they needed to assistance in this upgrade. Not anymore. Today we leverage our colocation service and managed cloud capabilities as transition points to help them begin their transition to the cloud. This simple hybrid capability enables our customers to work at their own pace—whether that’s fast (this year) less fast (the next few years). This process is extremely cost-effective for our clients. We deliver them higher SLAs, more performant infrastructure and allow their staff to focus on the larger issues associated with running their business.

The Goal of ServerCentral for the Upcoming Years

There remains a strong market for retail colocation—the nature of the service is just changing. We continue to add smarter and smarter remote hand services that are customized to the customers’ unique needs as this is the inflection point of a company’s cloud migration. We’re going to continue offering retail colocation with robust network connectivity to public and private clouds including the largest backbone providers because connectivity is and will remain of the utmost importance. Our customers will continue to have the confidence to connect to any cloud technology they want anywhere in the world. We will continue to expand our managed cloud capabilities so that our customers’ IT staff can focus on more business-value-oriented tasks. We see a future where managed cloud services will play a significant role for organizations and for Managed Service Providers like ServerCentral. Companies will continue to aggressively migrate to private and public cloud solutions. As the complexity and sophistication of the cloud continues to increase, the importance of a true partner to help organizations capitalize on it will increase, too.
