Minnesota based data center company Vaultas signed a technology partnership with MyTELEPATH, a provider of managed communications services.

Through this partnership deal, MyTELEPATH is aiming to expand its Hosted PBX (News - Alert) and Hosted Call Center offerings to businesses throughout the Upper Midwest by leveraging Vaultas' redundant fiber-optic network and new colocation data center facility in Alexandria, Minnesota.

“Businesses of all types across the Midwest are often thwarted in their aspirations to expand by lack of access to key infrastructure, including data storage facilities and even more frequently by lack of affordable and flexible network bandwidth,” John Unger, president at Vaultas said in a press release.

“MyTELEPATH is a perfect example of such a business, with forward-thinking leaders and aggressive strategies, yet insufficient IT infrastructure to realize those plans. We are proud to partner with MyTELEPATH and help take their business plans to the next level, all while driving economic development in our home state of Minnesota,” Unger added.

MyTELEPATH has been providing Managed Services and hosted Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services designed for the ever-changing communication needs of today's businesses of all sizes. Through its technology partnership with Vaultas, MyTELEPATH said it will colocate critical IT equipment and infrastructure in Vaultas' new Alexandria data center to support an expansion of its SMB VoIP offering and its nationwide call center services. Affordable and flexible access to Vaultas' redundant fiber ring connecting Alexandria, Duluth and Minneapolis was critical to MyTELEPATH's decision to proceed with a regional expansion.

“Nine years ago, we started by focusing on providing small to mid-sized business with a VoIP solution. However, as new opportunities have emerged, we have capitalized when and where it makes sense for our business,” Mike Larson, partner MyTELEPATH said in a statement.

“Vaultas has opened up a new market for us in the Upper Midwest, and this partnership has already generated new customers and revenue acceleration for us—all made possible by Vaultas' new Alexandria data center facility and their scalable and highly redundant fiber-optic network throughout Minnesota,” Larson added.

In related news, Vaultas said that it is expanding to St. Cloud, with plans to build a $2 million, 5,000-square-foot data center within the next year.
