Atlantic.Net Enters into Partnership with Orlando Magic

Atlantic.Net, a privately owned Data Center services company, has entered into a partnership with the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) Orlando Magic.

Disclosing this, Atlantic.Net officials said that as part of the agreement, the company would provide the Orlando Magic with a fully redundant server hosting platform Data Center.

Atlantic.Net, as the official server host of the Orlando Magic, would support and protect the data operations of the popular NBA franchise.

"We are excited to have joined forces with Atlantic.Net," said Jason Coleman, Orlando Magic's VP of information technology, in a statement.

Coleman said that after evaluating a range of managed hosting options to support the data operations, Orlando Magic chose Atlantic.Net because of their superior infrastructure and extensive technical knowledge.

He said that Atlantic.Net’s Data Center is very impressive, and their experience in providing a high-level of managed services is what the organization was looking for.

The Orlando Magic officials said that it plans a significant deployment of server and network hardware at Atlantic.Net, including a Storage Area Network (SAN), and therefore requires a hosting partner capable of providing the highest quality infrastructure, bandwidth and redundancy.

Such large scale, high-performance operations require 100% uptime and the kind of complex, high-end infrastructure found in Atlantic.Net’s Data Center.

"Atlantic.Net respects and admires the Orlando Magic for their innovation and their commitment to staying ahead of the game in technology,” said Marty Puranik, president and CEO of Atlantic.Net.

Puranik said he is honored that the Orlando Magic put their trust in Atlantic.Net and looks forward to working as a team to supply the critical backend infrastructure that guides the ongoing success of the Magic’s operations.

Atlantic.Net is a business data services provider. The company operates a colocation Data Center in Orlando, Florida, and helps businesses around the globe with their data needs through services including managed servers, server colocation, dedicated servers, Internet connectivity, business continuity, and managed services such as data backup, security and private networks.

The company in November had announced the launch of its Worldwide Business Partner Program.

The program enables technology integrators, application service providers, and other technology firms to grow their business and expand and enhance their product lines.
