CyrusOne has announced that Artisan Infrastructure has selected its data center facilities for enterprise class colocation and Internet Exchange (IX) services. Artisan is a world leader in wholesale-only Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) for cloud solution providers. Selecting CyrusOne enables Artisan to access more than 100 carriers across the state of Texas and deliver services to CyrusOne customers.

“As we look to grow and expand over time, CyrusOne can scale to our needs within a given facility and also across their global data center footprint.”

Artisan uses carrier-grade, best-of-breed enterprise technology products and is driven by an exceptional commitment to customer support, as demonstrated by the telecom, software, and IT industry expertise all available on staff. Artisan’s enterprise-class infrastructure was architected specifically for service providers, and the highly secure platform promotes multi-tenancy and full native control.

Artisan’s Cornerstone Virtual Private Data Center (vPDC) platform allows telcos, managed solution providers, IT integrators, data center operators, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) providers, and software developers to build, manage, and control their own public and private cloud solutions. The Cornerstone on-demand, pay-as-you-grow model is highly scalable and helps enable the ecosystem of service providers and their solutions.

“We chose CyrusOne because they are best-of-breed where it counts most for us, including the industry-leading speed at which they are able to deploy new space and the 2N design and power densities that meet both our current and anticipated future needs,” said Brian Hierholzer, chief executive officer of Artisan Infrastructure. “As we look to grow and expand over time, CyrusOne can scale to our needs within a given facility and also across their global data center footprint.”
