The Background
JTC began working with Leaseweb eight years ago when their cloud infrastructure was hosted at a data center in Sterling, Virginia – about 20 miles from their headquarters in Manassas, Virginia.
As the business grew, JTC found themselves making an increasing number of trips to the Sterling data center. These trips resulted in significant travel time for employees, reducing work efficiency and adding unnecessary costs. Since JTC did not want to relocate its headquarters, they needed to find a local solution that combined infrastructure performance, reliability, and availability with a convenient location. They required an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider who would be able to migrate their technology with minimal downtime.
In 2011, several service providers, including Leaseweb (who's US headquarters are close to JTC), opened data centers in the Manassas area. After reviewing all potential partners, JTC selected Leaseweb as the most impressive and cost-effective blend of infrastructure performance and location, backed by strong migration capabilities and customer support.
That strong partnership has continued to this day. Leaseweb and JTC are now working on delivering the next stage of JTC's infrastructure strategy: a major hardware upgrade and data center migration project.
