DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CoreSite Realty Corporation (NYSE:COR), a premier provider of secure, reliable, high-performance data center and interconnection solutions across the U.S., today announced that CloudSight, a leader in visual cognition technology, has chosen CoreSite as its data center solution partner, deploying within CoreSite's Los Angeles data center campus.
CloudSight, a fast-growing technology company specializing in image recognition, visual search, Artificial Intelligence, mobile search, mobile apps, and image captioning, chose CoreSite’s Los Angeles campus in order to access the native AWS Direct Connect deployment in that market. CloudSight decided to optimize its data center spend by utilizing a hybrid cloud solution, given its significant growth and customer demand, which can be addressed by CoreSite’s strong capabilities and those of its native cloud deployments available in the Los Angeles market. CloudSight is improving the efficiency of its business model by moving a number of performance-sensitive applications into a third-party data center colocation environment, while leveraging high-performance, low latency access to AWS Direct Connect in order to seamlessly integrate its existing AWS deployment with its colocation deployment.
“As a company, we have done extensive research on the benefits of running our platform on owned equipment versus completely in the cloud. While there are inherent advantages and disadvantages to both, as our database has grown, we realized the need to shift specific aspects of our platform to third-party colocation,” said Brad Folkens, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder at CloudSight. “CoreSite’s highly interconnected Los Angeles campus and direct connectivity to AWS Direct Connect, supported by a best-in-class customer experience, made our choice easy.”
The CoreSite Los Angeles campus includes two data center facilities – LA1, also known as One Wilshire®, one of the most interconnected buildings in the world, and LA2 with over 424,000 square feet of scalable space in downtown Los Angeles. CoreSite's Los Angeles campus is comprised of over 500 network, cloud and enterprise customers, as well as access to the largest peering exchange on the West Coast — CoreSite's Any2Exchange® for Internet peering.
“We are pleased to welcome CloudSight to our robust and growing community of cloud and IT service providers across our national platform,” said Maile Kaiser, Vice President of Sales at CoreSite. “CoreSite provides its customers with a variety of interconnection services, making it easy to integrate their public and private cloud solutions in a secure, reliable and high-performance environment.”
