DataBank is a data center operator that runs colocation, cloud and managed services from its own facilities across dozens of U.S. metros. The idea it sells is one provider for the whole stack: put your hardware in its buildings, run some workloads in its cloud, and hand the day-to-day management of network, servers, storage and security to its team while you keep visibility and control. It leans into fast-growing edge markets, meaning cities beyond the handful of traditional data center hubs. Compliance is a stated focus: DataBank says its facilities carry up to 80 percent of the controls a customer needs for standards including FedRAMP, SOC 1 and SOC 2, HIPAA and PCI DSS. It reports a footprint of more than 65 data centers across more than 27 metros.

Best for

  • Companies that want colocation, cloud and managed services from one provider and one contract, rather than assembling them from separate vendors.
  • Organizations in regulated fields that need the data center itself to carry audited controls, including those working toward FedRAMP.
  • Businesses in mid-size and edge markets that want a data center closer to their users than the major coastal hubs.
  • Small IT teams that need someone to manage the network, servers, storage and security while they keep oversight.

A company that only needs raw cabinet space and will manage everything itself can use DataBank, but it is buying less than the managed, hybrid model the company is built around.

What they offer

Colocation. Space, power and cooling in DataBank's own data centers, with connectivity to a large number of carriers, remote hands for on-site work, and a customer portal for visibility. High-performance computing configurations are available for dense workloads.

Cloud and IaaS. A managed enterprise cloud, a self-managed cloud for teams that want to run it themselves, private cloud and bare metal servers. A separate FedRAMP-authorized cloud serves public sector and regulated workloads.

Backup and Disaster Recovery. Disaster recovery as a service that replicates and recovers workloads into DataBank's environment, so a business can fail over if its primary site goes down.

Managed Security. Managed security services and DDoS mitigation protect the hosted environment, with compliance controls and reporting aligned to the standards above.

Proof

This story comes from DataBank's own published, anonymized case study.

A multi-location accounting firm with an IT team of one. As the firm grew and acquired offices, its single IT manager was struggling to keep inconsistent, disparate environments running across locations, with downtime a real risk. DataBank consolidated the environments onto a private cloud with terminal server clusters, storage and security, standardized on one server template, and took over basic care of the infrastructure. The case study reports the firm was able to keep scaling IT across new locations without adding headcount.

Good to know

  • DataBank's scale and compliance figures are the company's own and describe its overall platform, so confirm the specific certifications and carriers at the exact building you would use.
  • The compliance claim is that facilities meet up to 80 percent of the controls for a standard, not that any given deployment is fully certified. Confirm what is left for you to complete.
  • Figures and product names here are the company's own material.

How buying works

The store is the easy part. Staying on the account is the job.

Anyone can show you logos. The reason to buy here is what happens on install night, and on the ticket you open nine months later.
