etherFAX announced that the company has launched a new datacenter operations in Toronto, Canada to tap the growing market demand for cloud-based fax communications in the region. The latest data center is focused on catering to the requirements of the financial services and healthcare organizations in the country.

etherFax customers will be allowed to port their existing fax numbers and to determine how their fax communications will be processed across the etherFAX network, addressing privacy and data security concerns.

In a statement, Robert Cichielo, chief technology officer at etherFAX, said, “Our new data sovereignty features allow customers to control how their fax and telephony traffic flows through our network. This means that customers can choose to have their data remain within their country of origin or permit routing to other portions of the etherFAX network around the globe. etherFAX has experienced tremendous growth over the past several years by providing simple, reliable, and economical fax/content delivery through the etherFAX network. To most large organizations, lack of security and compliance is completely unacceptable.”

The current development is part of etherFax’s plan to expand its footprint in new market regions, with more and more businesses adopting hybrid fax transport solutions for fax communications. etherFAX is also awaiting PCI (News - Alert) Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) Level 1 certification, the current highest industry standard for all datacenter service providers. The certification, which is expected to be awarded to etherFAX shortly, further reinforces the company’s strategy to ensure high levels of data integrity in its move to expand its business to larger scale organizations. The datacenter intends to function as a strategic hub supporting fax communications, as well as other collocation services, for enterprises.

etherFAX offers to port customers’ existing fax infrastructure to a cloud-based system, useing the internet to manage fax communications while retaining the efficiency and reliability offered by conventional fax systems. Cloud-based Fax over IP technology eliminates the need for deploying a host of hardware components such as media gateways, FoIP drivers, fax boards and other recurring costs associated with traditional telephony.
