Case Study: U2 Cloud achieves storm‑proof disaster recovery, compliance and scalable connected infrastructure with Cologix

U2 Cloud gained office and disaster recovery space with Cologix, and most importantly, a redundant, connected, storm-proof safe haven in Northern Florida

U2 Cloud, a managed WaaS and SaaS provider powering Dell’s Workspace-as-a-Service platform, needed a compliant, storm‑proof data center with redundant power, network and environmental controls, 24/7 monitoring, VPN connectivity and reliable data replication for disaster recovery. After evaluating providers, U2 Cloud selected Cologix and specifically deployed into Cologix’s Jacksonville (JAX 2) category‑5 hardened facility using a dedicated secure cage and SSAE‑16 audited services.

Cologix implemented a secure cage with dedicated bandwidth, active‑active failover, SSAE‑16 compliance support, 24/7 security and on‑site disaster recovery/office space, plus flexible scaling and bandwidth on demand. As a result, U2 Cloud grew from a single rack to a four‑rack cage, gained managed compliance (SSAE‑16 Type 2), increased resiliency against natural disasters and reported reduced costs and higher profitability — outcomes enabled by Cologix’s infrastructure and operational support.
