IBM Opens Data Centers In Dallas, Texas and Washington D.C.

04/27/2017
IBM opened four new IBM Cloud data centers in the United States, two in Dallas and Two in Washington D.C., to support growing enterprise demand for cloud infrastructure.

"IBM is making major investments to expand our global cloud data centers in 2017 and provide the infrastructure necessary for enterprises to run their cognitive, big data, blockchain and IoT workloads," said John Considine, General Manager for Cloud Infrastructure, IBM.

"IBM's growing global cloud footprint gives enterprises the flexibility and scale to run their most complex workloads when and where they need,” he added.

According to company officials, the new U.S. facilities can help enable companies to digitize business and operations and drive cognitive innovation through the IBM Cloud. Clients of all sizes are already taking advantage of the benefits of the IBM Cloud including Bitly and Halliburton.

Each of the four new facilities now open in the U.S. has the capacity for thousands of physical servers and offers a full range of cloud infrastructure services, including bare metal servers, virtual servers, storage, security services and networking, officials said. With services deployed on demand and full remote access and control, customers can create their ideal public, private or hybrid cloud environments.
