Cogeco Peer 1, a managed hosting and cloud services provider, has changed its name to Aptum Technologies.
The move follows the April 2019, acquisition of Cogeco Peer 1 by Digital Colony, a global investment firm dedicated to strategic opportunities in digital infrastructure.
Aptum CEO Susan Bowen said: “Aptum means ‘adaptability’ and reflects our heritage and vision for the future, As businesses face exponentially increasing volumes of information, and data becomes an integral part of their infrastructure, technology platforms must adapt and harness the power of data to enable better decision making, risk evaluation and customer engagement. We help organisations unlock the potential of their data by providing a robust infrastructure that allows customers to solve complex challenges and maximise the potential of their businesses.”
Aptum will operate with two business units — Data Center and Fibre. The Data Center business will concentrate on enabling multi-cloud services for enterprises. The Fibre business will provide small cell and 5G infrastructure, and enterprise and wholesale fibre connectivity with an extensive metro fiber network across greater Toronto and Montreal.
The outfit claims to be one of a select group of companies able to offer true hybrid infrastructure solutions with secure data center, cloud, connectivity and managed services across North and Central America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
