Google-like data center launches in Carrollton, Georgia

New colocation, cloud computing, hosting, and IT-as-a-service facility billed as the most technologically advanced data center in the Southeastern United States, a top 50 facility in the country, and within the top percentile worldwide. And believe it or not, it was built in Georgia.

CARROLLTON, GA (Feb 1st, 2011) — Can a cutting-edge data center facility thrive 2,500 miles from Silicon Valley? An area company located in Carrollton, Ga. thinks so, and is putting a big investment on the line to prove it. Fogo Data Centers opened its doors to the first of several planned data centers that boast superior technology, despite their uncanny location and intimate size. What’s more, the four-man partnership plans on marketing their inaugural Carrollton facility to area organizations reluctant on off-shoring their sensitive data to distant, in-accessible, and usually faceless locations throughout the world. “After visiting 30 of the nation’s most trusted, secure, and technologically-advanced data centers first-hand, we coupled their exemplary ideas with our own 15 years of IT practicality and personality,” said Brooks Snow, president of Fogo Data Centers. “At 10,000 square feet, our launch facility is admittedly not the the biggest. But it’s as secure, wired, and smart as anything Google, IBM or Facebook is using, putting us in elite company in terms of data center technology.” Thanks to the strategic location of Carrollton, however, Snow and his partners, have been able to build a better mousetrap so to speak, without the associated high costs of real estate, development, and costly grid demands found on the coasts. They then pass on the savings to regional customers who value a handshake, physical access, and visible expertise more than bigger, less-personable, and often outdated enterprise facilities.

“Fogo’s first data center actually looks like the impressive photos many data centers forge on their website,” says Brooks. “With Fogo, however, the proof is in the pudding. We actually let you tour the data center, with proper security clearance, of course. No need to use fake photos. Our facility is legit.” Cost savings, security, and technology aside, the most impressive idea behind Fogo Data Centers, however, might be their targeted approach to doing business with area organizations, including small-business, corporate, education, health care, and government clients. For Fogo, they hope their friendly and local approach to clientele—when coupled with

their expertise and state-of-the-art facility—will translate to responsible expansion elsewhere in similarly demanding markets. “It’s not everyday something like this comes to Carrollton Georgia,” says Bill Denney, an associate and client of the data center. “What they’ve built here is truly impressive. For anyone skeptical of the company’s claims, I challenge you to see the facility for yourself. If you’re half as surprised as I was, you won’t be disappointed.” For more information, please visit http://fogodatacenters.com.
