Alentus to Purchase AO Technologies

Web hosting provider Alentus announced on Friday that it has arranged to purchase the data center and managed services clients of AO Technologies. The financial particulars of the deal were not released.

Ohio-based AO Technologies, founded in 1996, focal point is centred on managed infrastructure services, colocation and connectivity solutions and operates a tier one data center in addition to a redundant 100 percent Cisco-powered IP network in downtown Columbus, Ohio.

The existing network and facility will be incorporated into Alentus’ new international network that connects directly to numerous redundant Internet backbones within Canada and the United States, says the company.

Half of AO Technologies’ personnel will move with the purchase and subsequently, AO says it will re-centre on Internet streaming media services as a colocation and connectivity client of Alentus.

John Macleod, chief technology officer of Alentus stated “Adding a US data center to our network further strengthens our position as a market leader in managed Internet solutions. This acquisition enables us to meet the growing demands of our international clients much faster than if we were to build a mid-west US facility ourselves. This technologically advanced facility combined with our superior network architecture and unmatched selection of managed solutions provides an unsurpassed combination for clients requiring highly available, mission critical hosting solutions.”
