Top Law Firm Armstrong Teasdale Latest St. Louis Business to Outsource IT Services

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Datotel, LLC, a state-of-the-art information technology colocation facility and managed services provider based in St. Louis, is pleased to announce Armstrong Teasdale, LLP, as the company's newest customer for colocation.

For Armstrong Teasdale, Datotel will provide colocation space, power and bandwidth to support their overall infrastructure.

"Colocation makes a lot of sense for us as we move to Clayton in 2010," said Tim Pyatt, IT Director at Armstrong Teasdale. "We know that we need to house our data at an off-site location to maximize security and space. Working with Datotel will make our move quite a bit easier."

Colocation is the practice of housing data at a location other than an organization's regular place of business. Data-hosting organizations - like Datotel - store an organization's data at an off-site location, minimizing the amount of IT-specific space at an organization's office and maximizing the security of the data.

"We are excited to be partnering with one of the most respected law firms in the area," said David Brown, president of Datotel. "The fact that Armstrong Teasdale sees a need to colocate its data speaks volumes to the value of our services."

Datotel's data center is located in downtown St. Louis at the Globe Building. The company can be reached at (314) 241-9101.
