DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global data center services provider CyrusOne (NASDAQ: CONE) is pleased to announce it is providing colocation services to ShoreTel® (NASDAQ: SHOR), the leading provider of brilliantly simple phone systems and unified communications (UC) solutions. ShoreTel is using CyrusOne’s Carrollton facility near Dallas.
CyrusOne's 670,000-square-foot data center in Dallas/Carrollton is the largest facility of its kind in the state and one of the most energy-efficient in the United States.
“We are in the business of mitigating risk and optimizing performance for our customers, and we do that through our redundant architecture, exceptional service, flexibility of scale, and low power and cooling costs,” said Kevin Timmons, chief technology officer, CyrusOne. “We are delivering strong performance for ShoreTel at our Carrollton facility, and we deliver on that promise time and again, as evidenced by the more than 125 Fortune 1000 customers in our portfolio that includes nine of the Fortune 20.”
ShoreTel selected CyrusOne because of its established reputation for highly reliable enterprise data center services and colocation solutions. CyrusOne engineers its facilities to include the underlying infrastructure required to support ShoreTel’s operations.
“Between the monitoring, firewalls, and support tools, we needed to bring hundreds of new systems online in our new primary facility. With CyrusOne, we were able to source everything we needed in four months. It’s the single best data center sourcing strategy I’ve ever seen,” said Dennis Schmidt, vice president of network systems engineering for ShoreTel.
