CBRE | Romonet Named an IDC Innovator

CBRE | Romonet was recently named an IDC Innovator in the IDC Innovators: Smarter Datacenter Infrastructure to Support Dynamic and Agile IT (IDC #US42059116, January 2017) report.

“This is deserved recognition for the influence CBRE | Romonet has had in a rapidly evolving data center market,” explained Zahl Limbuwala, CBRE | Romonet's co-founder and CEO. “Accurate predictability has become fundamental to fast growing Cloud and colocation services providers, as well as enterprises looking to consolidate and adopt a hybrid approach. With our tools available, it’s hard to understand why companies would take such large financial, environmental and operational risks without using our data center lifecycle analytics to validate their decisions.”

In 2016, CBRE | Romonet continued its growth within the large Cloud and colocation providers, and expanded its enterprise customers. With new partnership, product and certification program announcements due early in 2017, the company is expecting another strong year.
