CoreSite Selects Lifeboat as a North American Distributor

CoreSite Realty Corporation (NYSE:COR), a premier provider of secure, reliable, high-performance data center solutions across the U.S., announced today a distribution agreement with Lifeboat Distribution, an international value-added distributor for virtualization, business continuity and other technically sophisticated products. Lifeboat will now offer CoreSite’s data center solutions to its network of resellers and managed service providers for resale to enterprise customers.

“As we expand the CoreSite Value-Added Reseller program, we look for partners that deliver the same high-performance solutions and exceptional customer service for which CoreSite is known,” said Dave Sroka, Vice President of Agent and Channel Sales, CoreSite. “With Lifeboat, we are partnering with a strong company with a proven record of ensuring excellence in the delivery of technology solutions and services across a robust network of service providers. Lifeboat’s broad portfolio of products enables the delivery of complex IT offerings required by enterprise customers.”

As resellers deliver IT solutions to meet the critical business needs of enterprise customers, a secure and reliable data center component is often foundational. Further, data center capacity featuring a rich mix of network, cloud and IT service providers can be a key differentiator in supporting performance-sensitive customer requirements. With 17 secure and reliable data centers across the United States, CoreSite provides a strong foundation for the hosted services, disaster recovery, offsite storage, and cloud solutions that IT service providers bring to their customers. For service providers not already offering data center services, this portfolio addition can help increase their revenue and customer loyalty.

“Managed services and cloud offerings — especially related to disaster recovery — are an important component of the business models for our service partners,” said William R. Botti, Executive Vice President, Lifeboat Distribution. “With CoreSite’s premium data center services, we see tremendous opportunity — especially in the small business and mid-market space — for resellers to provide their customers with off-site solutions such as backup/recovery, hot data replication, and managed security.”
