Datto Selected Aligned Energy Data Center Provider

Aligned Energy LLC, a data center provider offering sustainable and adaptable colocation and build-to-scale solutions for cloud, enterprise, and MSPs, announces that Datto, Inc., a provider of IT solutions delivered through MSPs, has selected Aligned’s Salt Lake Metro data center for its ongoing expansion.

Datto offers BC and DR, networking, business management, and file backup and sync solutions that empower SMBs to compete in vertical markets across the globe.

“Datto protects data for businesses around the world, and our recent growth has been driven by the ongoing surge of small business IT,” states William Speirs, Ph.D., VP of infrastructure engineering technology, Datto. “We were looking for a partner we could grow with, and Aligned’s adaptable data center platform provides the flexibility to accommodate the scale and densification of our environment. Aligned’s rapid deployment model enabled a seamless migration into their facility, eliminating risk and minimizing any impact on our business operations.“

Aligned’s West Jordan data center is located to provide robust, high-speed connectivity infrastructure and access to a range of carriers and telecommunications providers. Datto is able to expand its service capabilities and footprint, as well as add additional redundancy.

Additionally, Aligned’s patented data center cooling technology, Delta Cube (Delta), which is built to support high, mixed, and variable power densities, allows Datto to initiate at one density profile and scale up as needed to 50kW per rack within the same footprint – all while maintaining Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and utilizing up to 80% less energy and 85% less water. Combined with Aligned’s patented CACTUS unit, an air-cooled adiabatic assisted cooling system, this cooling solution delivers efficiency at any load, in any climate, and regardless of location to support Datto’s sustainability objectives.

“Leveraging our adaptive data center platform and dynamic infrastructure, Datto now has the ability to easily scale as its business continues to expand,” says Andrew Schaap, CEO, Aligned Energy. “There are budgetary risks and scheduling challenges associated with a major data center migration. However, thanks to our capital structure, operational processes and staff, and best-in-class partners, we were able to provide Datto with a comfort level of stability and support, as well as an adaptive data center environment ready for service in just three months.“
