“Our approach to the enterprise cloud is to make it as scalable and efficient as possible for our customers,” said Jim Reinhart, chief operating officer, development and operations – QTS.  “This thinking is the reason we use best-of-breed technologies versus proprietary software to ensure our cloud solution’s architecture is flexible to meet current and future demands.”
