Along with new data centers openings, company forecasts the occupancy of current data centers to increase up to 100% by the end of the first quarter 2015.

DEAC data centers can provide data processing and storage capacity of more than 200 TB, in the near future this capacity is expected to increase up to 900 TB.

“Over the past three years business cloud migration became a prevailing IT trend all over the world, including Latvia, therefore a decision to delegate company’s data storage and processing to a reliable and secure outsourcing company is obvious,”

In fact, half of the companies that lose their data will become bankrupt within a year, that’s why continuity and security of business processes impact the financial stability of the company,”

comments A. Gailitis.

“Latvian data center’s services are frequently chosen by foreign investors. High-speed internet connection and 10 Gbit/s upstream channels connected to the world’s largest internet traffic exchange points in Europe, Asia and USA ensure continuity of processes, and that is highly valued by foreign customers.”
