Rock Hill Lands Data Center, Immedion

ROCK HILL, SC –  Immedion, LLC, a South Carolina-based dedicated data center and Cloud services provider will open its fifth data center in Rock Hill, S.C., by the end of the year.  The newest data center will be located at 471 Lakeshore Parkway, in Rock Hill’s 200-acre business park, TechPark.

Positioned 25 miles from Charlotte, on the border of North and South Carolina, Rock Hill is centrally located in a high growth area and easily accessible to cities in both states.  The Rock Hill facility affirms Immedion’s focus on South Carolina markets and complements the company’s current sites in Greenville, Columbia, Charleston, and Asheville, N.C.

“Locating our fifth data center in Rock Hill will better enable us to provide services to businesses in this part of the state as well as in the Charlotte area,” said Immedion CEO Frank Mobley.  “In addition, the Rock Hill location will further enhance Immedion’s disaster recovery offerings to our customers located in other parts of the Carolinas and elsewhere.”

In business since 2007, Immedion’s services include Cloud computing, colocation, dedicated Internet access and managed technology services that allow companies to minimize the downtime of critical computer systems which are vital in today’s “always on” economy.

“We differentiate our services by sitting down with our customers and helping to solve challenging technical issues,” added Mobley.

“Paired with Comporium’s fiber-optic network and Zipstream gigabit broadband connection, Immedion ensures that businesses’ data, the ‘lifeblood’ of their existence, is transmitted quickly, reliably and securely and can be recovered in the case of an unforeseen catastrophe,” states Comporium’s Matthew Dosch, executive vice president of customer operations and external affairs.

“We’ve said all along that we felt that advanced broadband connectivity would be a key local economic development driver,” said Dosch.  “Immedion further enhances the advantages a business would have by coming here to establish itself and grow.”

Williams & Fudge, a longtime major account for Immedion, is located at the Old Cotton Factory within Knowledge Park.

“With our college student loan collections business and our sizeable national client list, we are completely dependent upon the access, storage, and disaster recovery services that Immedion provides,” says David Williams, executive vice president of Williams & Fudge. “Immedion’s professional data management services and staff, along with Comporium’s fiber link have provided peace of mind.”

“To have an Immedion in Rock Hill is a huge benefit to the area’s business community,” added Gary Williams, CEO of Williams & Fudge.”

Immedion’s new facility “helps develop and support a knowledge-based economy,” said David Warner, director of the Technology Incubator for the City of Rock Hill.  “We are excited that Immedion, with Comporium as its major investor, has decided to invest resources here to support existing and prospective businesses in this area.”
