SkyWire Media, Inc., a national Mobile Content Enabler (MCE), has entered into an agreement with Las Vegas-based Cobalt (News - Alert) Data Centers to provide high-availability data center and interconnection services for its fast growing mobile solutions business.

“SkyWire Media knew they wanted a flexible, quality, customer-centric experience,” said Mike Ballard, chief executive officer, Cobalt Data Centers, in a statement.

Ballard said that past experience with the ‘big box’ providers didn’t suit them, and they were pleased to find a new alternative in town…Cobalt.

Thanks to the partnership with Cobalt Data Centers, SkyWire Media will now be able to better control its operating platforms and bring its critical infrastructure back within close proximity to its staff. 

Officials with Cobalt said that a key selling point in turning to Cobalt Data Centers was the company’s customer-centric culture.

Company officials said that by providing support technicians around the clock to assist with technical projects, respond to service requests and ensure business continuity, Cobalt has quickly become an industry benchmark.

“There are several factors that influenced our decision to go with Cobalt Data Centers’ state-of-the-art facilities,” said Thomas Castleberry, executive vice president/chief operating officer of SkyWire Media.

Castleberry said that they provide design excellence, well thought out amenities, and a knowledgeable management team with a successful history in datacenter solutions.

“We were also impressed with our overall monetary savings by consolidating all of our colocation needs under one roof,” he said.

The Cobalt Cheyenne project is a multi-tenant datacenter boasting state-of-the-art electrical and mechanical designs, all done in a 5.5 megawatt, 34,000 square-foot facility in northwest Las Vegas.

Ballard said SkyWire and other businesses throughout the nation are flocking to data centers like Cobalt for cost effective colocation services in a business-friendly area known for minimal natural disaster risks.

“We are seeing an increase in businesses seeking a facility like Cobalt Cheyenne,” said Ballard.

He said that with Nevada known as a state with virtually no natural disasters, the company is becoming a strong hub for both local and national businesses seeking top notch infrastructure hosting.
