Case Study: CDW achieves closer, more flexible colocation with Deft

How CDW turned its customers onto managed IT services through Colocation and Remote Hands from Deft

The customer, CDW, faced a challenge with its data center being located far from its Chicago headquarters, leading to a desire to eliminate capital expenditure and shift to an operational expense model for its facility needs. Vendor Deft was recommended to CDW for local colocation space and was selected for its proximity and professionalism.

Deft provided a premium colocation solution much closer to CDW's headquarters, including remote hands support for swift server maintenance. This allowed CDW to move quickly and stay focused on its core business. As a result, CDW values the flexibility and reliability from Deft, enabling its continued expansion and fostering a long-term relationship.
