Wholesale data center provider CoreSite Realty Corp. announced that SunGard Availability Services has deployed infrastructure at its facility in Boston.

SunGard, a provider of information availability and disaster recovery services, is seeing expanded business opportunities in the New England region targeting leading healthcare, financial services, retail and IT services providers, according to the data center company's statement.

SunGard deployed 10,000 sq ft of capacity as a turnkey data center solution for its customers. Its customers stand to benefit from direct connections to multiple networks, including connections to sub-sea cable assets.

Financial services is a focus for SunGard and the proximity of the Boston facility combined with network density were important considerations given the latency and application performance requirements common for financial institutions. Another major focus for the company is retail.

Jack Dziak, executive VP and general manager, SunGard Managed Services, said, “As our customers' requirements continue to grow and expand, we strive to provide them with best-in-class solutions. CoreSite brings premium data center capacity and the diverse network connectivity that our customers across multiple verticals need to rapidly scale their businesses and meet their application performance requirements.”
