IO’s Intelligent Control technology platform is playing a key role in CenturyLink’s expansion of its colocation footprint with initial deployment at IO Phoenix and IO Scottsdale.

The Phoenix-based company’s Intelligent Control platform is comprised of IO.Anywhere data center modules and its integrated data center operating system. Working together, they provide integrated control, data collection and business intelligence across the center’s infrastructure, IT equipment and applications.

CenturyLink Technology Solutions is entering the Phoenix market as a hosting and colocation provider. In addition, the company will offer ClientConnect, an online gateway for businesses to connect and share services with other businesses that are part of CenturyLink’s global data center footprint.
