Case Study: Ecritel achieves 24/7 high availability and expanded North American connectivity with Cologix colocation

Ecritel - Customer Case Study

Ecritel, a 24/7 managed cloud, IaaS and eBusiness solutions provider, needed a downtown Montreal colocation partner to anchor its North American expansion and support high‑volume, unpredictable traffic with redundant, low‑latency infrastructure, broad carrier access and on‑site technical support. The company selected Cologix to host its central cloud infrastructure across Cologix Montreal facilities (MTL 1, MTL 3 and MTL 4), using colocation, cross‑connects and Remote Hands services.

Cologix provided secure cabinet and cage space, power, cross‑connects to more than 75 network carriers (including Tata Communications, GTT and Fibrenoire), and 24/7 support, enabling Ecritel to operate its 30,000‑server multi‑operator CDN with high availability and low latency. The Cologix solution delivered redundant connectivity and operational simplicity—backed by a 100% SLA availability claim—and helped Ecritel scale capacity cost‑effectively (reported as up to 10× capacity for a quarter of the price) while focusing on load balancing and service delivery.
