CHARLOTTE, N.C. – April 11, 2013 – Sentinel Data Centers and DukeNet Communications announce today that DukeNet will build diverse network routes into Sentinel’s NC-1 data center to provide network solutions to Sentinel’s enterprise customers.
“Sentinel’s NC-1 facility will fill a void in this region for large, quality-sensitive enterprises seeking autonomous data center solutions ,” says Mike Prendergast, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing with DukeNet. “DukeNet is excited about this partnership with Sentinel Data Centers and is honored by the opportunity to connect Sentinel’s client base with our unique routes and robust network throughout the Raleigh / Durham market.”
