CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Flexential, a leading provider of hybrid IT and wholesale data center solutions, today announced its delivery of a comprehensive IT solution to asTech, a respected leader in remote automotive diagnostics. asTech, based in Plano, Texas, chose to transform its IT operations by migrating its on-premise data center to a Flexential colocation facility while leveraging cloud, DRaaS and FlexAnywhere Data Center Interconnect (DCI) to best support its rapidly growing business.

"We knew we needed a more sophisticated and redundant IT solution to support our business, and, after listening to our current and future-state requirements, Flexential delivered an IT solution that was both comprehensive and scalable," said John Sotello, vice president of IT, asTech. "We feel very fortunate to have an IT partner with such a robust suite of products and services in our own backyard. Flexential's ability to provide what we need today – and tomorrow – coupled with the expertise of its helpful staff, made this an easy choice."

asTech will split its production environment between two Flexential locations: a colocation facility in Plano and a cloud environment in Richardson, Texas. Both environments will be connected via Flexential's DCI, a fully redundant connection built on the company's protected 100 Gbps network backbone for fast recovery and low latency. asTech chose to further protect its mission-critical IT environment through a cost-effective DRaaS solution in Texas and an added cloud presence at Flexential's cloud node in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This comprehensive solution highlights Flexential's ability to provide a unique and highly connected package of services tailored to the needs of the customer.

"Many businesses today face tough IT transformation decisions, including determining whether to maintain their on-premise environment or outsource. At Flexential, we aim to make that decision easier for these businesses while positioning them for future growth," said Patrick Doherty, Chief Revenue Officer at Flexential. "We are excited about the opportunity to provide asTech with a full range of Flexential services, and we look forward to serving their needs both now and into the future."
