About Rack & Data
Today we rely on IT equipment and its underlying software for almost all of our daily activities such as communication, entertainment, navigation, finances, and security. Rack & Data offers colocation services that allow you to install your equipment in a secure high-tech and green facility which includes solar grid powered generators and UPS backups.
After working alongside a wholesale and telecommunications provider for years, Rack & Data’s founder John Cullen, discovered that more people were inquiring about carrier hosting and equipment.
There was a growing demand for data centers in Kitchener-Waterloo and back then, the area was extremely underserved with no viable data centers in operation.
By May 2013, Cullen established Rack & Data and started operations in September of that year. Rack & Data was designed to serve the local business community across Kitchener-Waterloo and beyond.
Today, Rack & Data continues to rent out rack space and provides customers with the power, bandwidth, IP addresses, and cooling systems to successfully deploy their servers and networking equipment. Our colocation facility is committed to offering reliable, secure, and scalable hosting solutions to businesses in Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, London, and Brantford.
