The problem with faster colocation deployment is that it needs to be done the ‘first time right,’ which again requires a lot of experience and can be only provided by a select few vendors like UnitedLayer, which shines out with its two decades of experience in solving complicated colocation and hybrid cloud problems. One of the biggest social media companies, the largest online encyclopedia, and one of the leading American internet hosting providers trust UnitedLayer for their complex colocation needs.
This write-up will take you through another success story of UnitedLayer in the colocation market featured by datacenterhawk. We at UnitedLayer take a lot of pride in delivering instant colocation solutions within a short period of time, which is mission-critical for our modern-day customers.
This industry case study will showcase a just-in-time joint venture between UnitedLayer and datacenterHawk to support an AI and ML technology pioneer to migrate its mission-critical IT infrastructure into UnitedLayer’s agile colocation environment.
CTO of an American Major ML and AI firm found himself in a situation where the lease on the current colocation space was about to expire. The customer provides Machine Learning(ML) and Artificial Intelligence(AI) for marketing and product innovation.
The customer browsed and sent quote requests to many data centers in the Bay Area and came across UnitedLayer, which supported all his requirements, including 11⁄2 racks, 500 MBPS bandwidth, Azure AWS, and GCP connectivity and the cost. The team of UnitedLayer assured the customer that the relocation of their colocation would be taken care of in a span of 72 hours.
Fortunately for the customer, UnitedLayer was prepared to field the request. What resulted was a flurry of activity rarely seen to help the customer make his move.
- UnitedLayer scheduled a same-day tour of 200 Paul* and delivered pricing in less than 24 hours.
- The team at UnitedLayer was able to expedite the provisioning and customer onboarding.
- The team did an after-hours install on Saturday and put connectivity in place on Sunday.
- The customer was able to move in on Monday, avoiding any sort of costly interruption of IT service.
Within a record time of 72 hours, the customer could proceed with the initial request to deploy a business functional colocation facility.
CEO of UnitedLayer, Abhijit Phanse, explained, “With UnitedLayer, we have almost two decades of experience in building, managing, and delivering some of the most complex enterprise-grade colocation solutions across AI & ML, TMT, Retail, Logistics, Oil & Gas, Government & BFSI sector, This case study is one of the best examples which showcases our faster delivery and quick turnaround time to accommodate urgent business needs of our customers across the globe.
