DALLAS, April 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- DataBank, a leading provider of enterprise-class data center, connectivity, managed services and cloud solutions, announces today the grand opening of KC3, a Tier III data center facility in the growing Kansas City market.

In addition, DataBank will have a raffle, food, and opportunities to network with business leaders. Group tours of the new world class data center will also be available.
