Regent Communications outsources data center to Profitability.net

Cincinnati based Regent Communications, Inc. signed a multiyear agreement with Profitability.net for colocation in their downtown Cincinnati data center. Profitability.net is providing Regent Communications with a compliance ready, ultra secure electronic locking cabinet with primary and redundant power circuits.

“Our previous data center was maxed out in terms of cooling and space. It made sense for us to outsource to an organization that could accommodate our needs now and give us the ability to add additional resources and services in the future. After reviewing various providers around the greater Cincinnati area, we learned Profitability.net was a perfect fit for our data center needs,” stated Mike Mrozek, Regent Communications’ Lead Network Administrator.

“Our listeners have come to expect a high level of availability with our websites, just as we provide with our FM, AM, and HD broadcasting services. The history of performance with power and cooling capabilities at Profitability.net made them the obvious choice to ensure the level of uptime demanded by our clients. In addition to our websites, we are also centralizing some key internal applications in the colocation,” notes Mrozek.

Regent Communications has 24X7X365 access to Profitability.net’s downtown data center. “The location of the data center was another key factor in our selection of Profitability.net. The proximity of the facility to our offices is ideal; it allows us the convenience to access our equipment anytime, day or night,” says Mrozek. “In addition to Regent’s 24X7 physical access to the facility, they also have around the clock access to our customer portal. The portal provides them with the ability to reboot their devices, monitor their bandwidth in real time, and manage their data center users online from anywhere at any time. The portal has proven to be an invaluable asset to our clients, providing convenience, personnel cost savings, and instant account management,” comments Aaron Larkins, CEO of Profitability.net.
