Record First-Quarter Results Achieved by DataPoint

Since the beginning of the year, a Baltimore-based managed service provider with a carrier-class data center that serves business customers throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, DataPoint, has added more than thirty new customers, and is redefining how Baltimore views managed services by tailoring customized solutions to fit each customer’s needs. Capital improvements and strategic economies of scale support DataPoint customers and help drive new growth.

DataPoint, following its acquisition of Charm Net and Velocity Server, and their move into Baltimore’s Tide Point campus three years ago, has since added an additional 10,000 square feet of raised floor space with the option to add more later in 2008.

The number of healthcare and financial services firms DataPoint has come to work with over the past years has been increased by Quality control. Often times, these industries are subjected to strict requirements, and even Federal regulations, regarding records management. A full in-house stable of firewall, switches, servers, router, and back-up options which can be managed entirely by DataPoint staff are included by DataPoint’s managed services.

Anthony Estelle, Sales Manager at DataPoint, says that DataPoint is well equipped to implement what is necessary as retailers are also increasingly counting on them to provide an IT package that offers security and multi-site access. “I am confident that we can provide a solution to meet just about any need. When I’m working with our customers, I can see the areas where extra support makes such a difference – especially when it comes to monitoring as well as tailoring hardware and software to leverage existing investments.”

DataPoint, in addition to an improved portfolio of managed services, also offers enterprise-level colocation and broadband services, and within two months it will also begin offering virtualization services. Virtualization allows one computer do the job of multiple computers. By sharing the resources of a single computer across multiple environments so users are freed from physical and geographical limitations, virtual servers and desktops enable multiple operating systems and multiple applications to be run and accessed both locally and in remote locations.
