Mobile entertainment services provider Binbit has chosen Data Foundry's Texas 1 facility as its primary, U.S.-based colocation data center. The company is also leveraging managed services from Data Foundry to help manage Binbit's IT infrastructure on a 24x7x365 basis from their corporate headquarters in Mexico.

The expansion and new managed services have been implemented in tandem with Binbit undergoing strong growth fueled by new, long-term business partnerships with a variety of service providers. The company has a presence in more than 35 countries as well as agreements with 64 carriers, including a number of mobile leaders.

Binbit's customers and partners have more than 750 million users that can take advantage of the company's services, so a solid and secure technological back-end has been crucial for the company's growth and success.

“As we looked for a U.S. based colocation partner, we found that Data Foundry’s Texas 1 data center was an excellent strategic choice for us,” said Antoni Muntaner, chairman of Binbit. “We not only have access to a world-class data center, but by utilizing their Managed Internet solution we also have tremendous network access that allows us to reach every corner of the globe.”
