MONTRÉAL, February 16, 2016 – Eastern Canada’s largest neutral colocation service provider, COLO-D, announces today that the company has joined the Console Data Center Partner Program to provide customers access to Console, the enterprise software and interconnection platform that is changing the way businesses directly connect to their customers, vendors and partners such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud services.
The Console platform provides a secure, simple and faster way for companies across the globe to bypass the public Internet and directly connect to business-critical cloud providers, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers and partners.

“With the addition of the Console platform, our customers have an excellent platform with which they can access a global network of cloud and SaaS providers, increasing performance while controlling costs,” says Patrick David, President and CEO of COLO-D.
All of COLO-D’s data centers are specifically designed to accommodate enterprise, cloud and gaming customers. COLO-D is a world-class neutral colocation provider.
