QTS (Quality Technology Services), one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing providers of data center facilities and managed services, today announced that it has been chosen by Barefoot Technologies Corporation, a leading online vacation reservations company, to replace the company’s current colocation environment and provide a new cloud-based solution using QTS Virtualized Infrastructure (QVI). Terms of the multi-year agreement were not disclosed.
As a leading provider of browser-based reservation and asset management systems in the vacation rental industry, Barefoot sought a cloud-based solution that could scale during peak travel seasons as well as accommodate the company’s rapid growth of 30 percent per year.
“QTS didn’t try to sell us a product, but instead helped our company craft a solution that best enabled us to meet the demands of our customers,” said Ed Ulmer, vice president of U.S. operations – Barefoot. “QVI offers the benefits of virtualization with the security and control we required, while helping us avoid the need for capital intensive technology refreshes. QTS’ custom solution meets our current needs and promises to easily scale to meet our future growth.”
QVI is a fully-managed, virtualized IT infrastructure solution that offers increased scalability, security, visibility and control to customers. The product is ideal for companies such as Barefoot because it is designed to enable rapid deployment and the ability to easily scale infrastructure as business needs change. In addition, each solution component includes bundled features that may be added or customized to support the requirements of any application.
“QVI is the perfect solution for growing companies who are seeking secure, cloud-based configurations with scalability,” said Mark Waddington, president – QTS. “We look forward to helping Barefoot meet their business goals by providing a hosting solution that lowers operating costs while improving reliability, speed of deployment and scalability.”
