MILWAUKEE (Feb. 7, 2014) – Vaultas Companies (www.vaultas.com), a premier provider of collaborative and vendor / carrier neutral colocation data centers in the Upper Midwest, today announced the Grand Opening of its newest Tier III data center located in the historic Blatz Brewery Complex in downtown Milwaukee. The new 10,000 Sq. Ft. facility will meet a growing need in the region for server and data colocation, primary and backup data center, data storage, cloud computing services and application hosting.
“Now more than ever, it is critical for companies to find affordable solutions to housing and protecting the data that drives their business,” said Vaultas president, John Unger. “We are excited to bring our IT vendor supported, flexible, scalable data center and cloud computing solutions to southeastern Wisconsin.”

Centrally located on Market Street in downtown Milwaukee, Vaultas’ new facility features almost 10,000 Sq. Ft. of colocation / data center space and 48 hours of backup generator time, providing N+1 redundancy for all power and cooling systems, ensuring complete system availability in the event of any power outage or disaster.
