The 15-year-old firm, headquartered in Chambersburg, will hire 13 new employees and will open a new Mechanicsburg location that provides a resilient data center to protect servers and client computers. The firm had previously leased space in Wormleysburg.
“We are expanding our service offerings, and going from 5,000 to 5,500 square feet,” says CEO Greg Courtney. “The big addition is 1,000 square feet of raised computer floor for hosting and co-location services. Weve seen companies reaching out to look for efficiencies. Outsourcing is part of it. Co-location is a bridge–their equipment, our location. It lowers their cost of ownership.”
