We constantly read or hear of the latest illegal entrapment of individuals or business through theft of data, often holding the victim to ransom. Even during very difficult and vulnerable times, such as a world-wide pandemic, thieves seek more and more sophisticated methods to endanger livelihoods.

Businesses need to know they can offer their customers a high level of security. As a client, you know DataHive’s niche in the industry is our long history of maintaining a high level of security. We do not employ sales people, we have no advertising budget, our web site is low key but our service and security is amazing. As result, word-of-mouth is our key to success.

As billions of sensitive pieces of information move around the world on copper and fibre to be stored in millions of servers, at the same time thieves continually seek the most vulnerable and easy-toaccess target. Because DataHive’s business is the safe transport and secure storage of data, you have confidence that DataHive has your back.

Of course, we could not give that caller all the details regarding DataHive’s internal security. We can, however, remind clients that their experience at DataHive has never been compromised.

While DataHive does provide the underlying security, ultimately each client is responsible to insure their own equipment, programs, software, code, etc. is hardened. Please go to our website where you will be able to identify how your service ranks in the five levels of security compliance.

Should you wish to discuss your security strategy in more detail, we encourage you to call our security expert, Tomas, at 403-313-1106, or drop him a line to Tomas.Florian@DataHive.ca.

Alternatively, as President, I will be more than happy to chat with you regarding any issues or concerns relating to DataHive’s services. My email is Marjorie.Zingle@DataHive.ca.

In April, 2020, the world population was 7,791,251,264* and the world Internet usage count was 4,574,000.000** users, or 57.8% of the world population.

Calgary’s Internet Exchange (YYCIX) has recorded an increase of at least 60% since February and DataHive’s own network has reached its highest recorded usage the first week of April.

In our newsletter of March 13, 2020, DataHive presented a full range of solutions for fulfilling remote or ‘work from home’ Internet support. This remote way of doing business has been available for some time, especially internationally. However, the experience of COVID-19 demonstrated the importance and value of efficient remote communications anywhere, anytime, internationally or locally.

The business development options discussed in the March Newsletter are worth considering. As a DataHive client you have access to any of these services and immediate opportunity to expand and promote your portfolio to a growing range of potential clients. These are organizations who, during COVID-19, learned the importance of secure, private, fast and efficient communication.

You are well positioned to take a good look at this opportunity. As a DataHive client you already have access to the largest number of Internet Service Providers in Western Canada (https://datahive.ca/isp-partners). Today you are in a position to offer your clients access to some thirty ISP providers, locally, nationally and internationally. This gives you the opportunity to expand your market reach, especially those situations where security and speed is of prime importance.

There are a number of reasons why your clients will be interested in this service. For example:

• Never experience an Internet slowdown or denial of service
• Bandwidth never over-subscribed
• Dedicated secure line – Skype and Zoom are not secure
• Eliminate repetitive staff efforts for greater efficiency
• No more waiting for a turn on the computer
• Always maintain Internet speed
• No corporate data residing on employee home computers

All indications are that the phenomenal increase in Internet usage will continue. This valuable information is not some idea for future consideration – it is something that is happening right now. Because you are a DataHive client, you are in a position to offer the service to your clients.

We have expert consultants you can call on at DataHive to discuss further, 403-313-1106. As they say: ‘Success is working smarter, not harder’. Success is always creating value and usefulness for your customers so they can go on to more useful and productive initiatives.

The post eStruxture and DataHive Shape Calgary’s Digital Economy appeared first on DataHive.

After moving from Alberta to Montreal with her husband, Marjorie Zingle became the first woman selling equipment to pulp and paper mills. But when the couple made another move to Calgary in 1971, the company feared a woman would never survive selling to the oil and gas industry.

She tried real estate and the tourism industry, but decided she would be better off working for herself and began selling professional services to associations in an office building she purchased.

It required a lot of data, and when the Vancouver-based company that stored her two servers was in trouble she flew out to the coast and bought what was left of the company by selling her building.

That was in 2003 and Zingle was already 68 years old, but with courage and a strong will she set about installing new wiring and cabling, a powerful new air-conditioning system and a dedicated backup generator, and reconnected with the firm’s other clients.

That was the birth of DataHive, and with the same courage and passion it continues to be an amazing success story, providing its impressive list of clients with security, privacy and accessibility, while guaranteeing that they always know where their data is.

Now in its 15 year, her company stays ahead of the game with new services and new relationships.

Over the past while, Zingle has been meeting and building a business relationship with Todd Coleman, president and CEO of eStruxture, a data centre based in Montreal. Recently over a lunch he informed her of his purchase of the Shaw Communications data centre, a 65,000-square-foot facility in southeast Calgary.

The two companies are now working together to move data in a breakthrough service available in the downtown in association with Brookfield Asset Management. In 2015, Zingle was, honoured as one of the Top 7 over 70 and had the opportunity to spend time with Jim Gray, the organizer of the annual event who wanted to know more about her business.

Since then he has been working with her and Brookfield staff to create a state-of-the-art Mini Connected City. Last week, the initiative was delivered to a showcase of Brookfield’s suppliers and tenants of its five downtown towers. Zingle explained how they could now be connected with secure, fast and direct access to anywhere in the world.

Zingle says it’s a “piece of cake” to connect, allowing data to flow into high-capacity fibre-optic cables under 7 Avenue into her centre in the west end.

Up until a couple of years ago, international internet services were only available to Calgary companies through the four traditional internet providers. DataHive’s data centre now has a total of 27 internet providers in its downtown centre, tucked away behind a secure, nondescript door on a Plus-15 level.

A carrier-neutral facility, it allows customers to choose the provider they feel is best suited to their requirements.

DataHive is now the global internet backbone hub for Western Canada, making Calgary a truly internationally connected city. Today, downtown commercial realtors are asked the question, “How am I connected to the internet?” when presenting space to prospective clients. The DataHive Internet Service Provider Hotel with communication links globally will be a hugely beneficial opportunity for established companies and in attracting new ones to locate here.
