Cogitate Selects Online Tech’s SOC 2 Compliant Michigan Colocation

Feb. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Ann Arbor, Michigan – February 2, 2011 – Cogitate, Inc., a provider of online backup services including the 9G BACKUP™ solution, has recently partnered with Online Tech for colocation services. Online Tech, the Midwest’s premier data center operator, offers Cogitate a local, cost-effective solution for their online backup services.

As Cogitate was preparing to launch their new 9G BACKUP™ product in October 2011, the company needed to find a local and cost-effective data center. “One of Online Tech’s data centers was located close to our company employees and had a good price point. We decided that Online Tech would be our best choice for our first data center location,” said George Loescher, President of Cogitate, Inc.

By using Online Tech colocation services, Cogitate does not have IT capital costs of building and managing a high availability, secure data center. Cogitate leverages Online Tech’s uninterruptible power, network and AC infrastructure at Online Tech’s fully redundant data centers. Cogitate benefits from Online Tech’s legacy of compliance, including independent SAS 70 Type II, SSAE 16 Type II, SOC 2, HIPAA and PCI audits to ensure security, privacy, and availability of their clients’ data.
