Blue Sky IT Turns to Baltimore Technology Park to Ensure Uninterrupted Service to Customers
- Growing Provider of IT Integration Services to Federal and Private Sector Colocates at Secure Regional Data Center -BALTIMORE, MD – Baltimore Technology Park (BTP), a premier data center and the largest carrier-neutral facility in the state of Maryland, today announced that Blue Sky IT has selected BTP to protect its key business systems and ensure uninterrupted service to its growing clientele. Serving primarily small-to medium-sized organizations with 10-100 employees in government and the private sector, the company’s IT integration services help organizations meet their emerging telecommunications and Internet needs.
Serving the greater Washington, D.C. and Maryland area, Blue Sky IT’s service portfolio includes data warehousing, network management, network architecture planning, IP engineering and procurement and sourcing (both strategic and transactional). The firm helps its customers stay focused on their core competencies and business by augmenting their IT teams with Blue Sky IT staff, or by assuming full responsibility for managing their IT systems and strategic planning.
As its business blossomed, Blue Sky IT experienced heightened demand for storage, Internet bandwidth and more connectivity options. The company also wanted a more stable and reliable IT environment, replete with backup and recovery services, in order to confidently ensure full data integrity and uninterrupted service for its customers. Thus, Blue Sky IT sought to partner with a reliable and secure data center that would allow it to achieve its objects while remaining focused on serving its clients.
After a brief search Blue Sky IT chose BTP's secure data center to house its IT infrastructure. Factors in its decision included BTP's fully redundant electrical design, distribution and backup, redundancy in UPS and HVAC, state of the art communications and high level of physical security. With plans underway to increase its data center space, BTP offers clients the ability to scale their infrastructure as needed.
“Working with BTP has been an extremely positive experience due to their competency, responsiveness, understanding of our business and the quality of their service, which is what any customer in any business wants when they outsource,” said Matt Nicoletta, Programs Manager for Blue Sky IT. “A great example of how BTP works with us is the help they provided to ensure we had the configuration necessary to meet our evolving customer requirements. In the past I have engaged several other data center providers in the area, so I can honestly say that BTP is by far the easiest to work with and delivers the most overall value.”
Prior to selecting BTP, Blue Sky IT conducted limited research on providers. However, since it had worked with other data center providers it was already familiar with the options and found BTP the best and most logical choice.
“Given the high level of responsibility it assumes for protecting the data and business systems of its customers, as well as its strong familiarity with data center providers in the region, we are honored that Blue Sky IT chose to partner with us,” said Jim Weller, president of BTP and a 20-year veteran of the IT infrastructure industry.
Organizations in the greater Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and northern Virginia area turn to BTP to satisfy their data center needs for ample and redundant power and cooling, physical security, and bandwidth. Often driven by legislative directives such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and others, organizations also choose BTP to protect their critical IT systems from natural disasters, terrorist threats and unpredictable service from utility and bandwidth providers. The data center’s convenient downtown location in a Focus Area of an Enterprise Zone of the City of Baltimore allows BTP to offer customers significant tax incentives, including a ten-year, 80% credit against local personal property taxes.
