Purchasing, operating and maintaining an IT infrastructure that can provide world-class hosting services to your organization is an expensive endeavour. It requires a large upfront investment, maintenance costs and, in many cases, extra staffing requirements. Furthermore, managing your own hosting services can distract key personnel from focusing on business objectives.

Your managed hosting needs supported by Bell investments in new data centres across Canada

Bell has launched a national initiative to increase the size of its data centre footprint in order to meet the growing needs of our enterprise and mid-market customers for co-location, hosting and managed services in Canada. Bell now has six state-of-the-art data centres throughout the Montréal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver regions, with construction underway for a new data centre in the Ottawa region.

Why Bell?

As the leading network provider in the country, serving more than 90 percent of Canada's top 1,000 businesses, Bell is in a unique position that combines the data centre and the network to deliver exceptional performance.

This combination of network and data centre expertise provides an unrivalled solution for enterprises requiring data security and application performance. Bell's network processes 90 percent of Canadian debit and credit transactions, and more than 80 percent of the country's Internet traffic.
