We are delighted with the results."

FirstLight's Manchester, N.H. data center also provides the New Hampshire Judicial Branch with enterprise-class security and disaster recovery for the continuity of its mission-critical operations and support of its cloud-based applications. The data center's close proximity to judicial branch offices is convenient for accessibility and allows both organizations the opportunity to collaborate.
