Overland Park, Kan. – October 22, 2015 – QTS Realty Trust (NYSE: QTS), a leading provider of secure, compliant data center solutions and fully managed services, today announced it has been named one of two data center outsourcing providers for U.S.-based clients of global IT services leader CSC (NYSE: CSC).
Under a wide-ranging go-to-market agreement that leverages the strongest attributes of both companies, QTS will provide custom data center and colocation to CSC customers via its national portfolio of data centers. The teaming is part of a larger strategic plan to optimize CSC’s footprint globally and to provide next-generation data center capabilities that can address short- and long-term customer needs.
CSC, a global leader in next-generation IT services and solutions with a market capitalization of $9 billion, serves customers in the public sector, as well as commercial industries ranging from aerospace to utilities.
