Quebec-based Multi-System Operator (MSO), Videotron, Tuesday announced construction of a new data centre in Montréal which will provide the colocation solutions that businesses now need for the hosting and processing of mounting masses of mission-critical data. The $40 million investment is phase 2 of a process launched in March 2015 with the acquisition of the 4Degrees data centre in Québec City for $36 million and the recently announced expansion of that facility.

The new data centre which will be located in Technoparc Montréal in Saint-Laurent borough will have an area of 4,000 square metres and an available load of 16 megawatts.

Manon Brouillette, President and CEO of Videotron
This facility will enrich our portfolio of services for customers and strengthen our position in a fast-expanding industry. The move is in keeping with Videotron’s commitment to innovation and to supporting the growth of its business customers. Massive data accumulation and the decentralization of corporate servers to data centres are long-term global trends.
