Industry-leading expertise

As the leading network provider in the country, serving more than 90 percent of Canada's top 1,000 businesses, Bell is in a unique position that combines the data centre and the network to deliver exceptional performance.

This combination of network and data centre expertise provides an unrivalled solution for enterprises requiring data security and application performance. Bell's network processes 90 percent of Canadian debit and credit transactions, and more than 80 percent of the country's Internet traffic. Other providers who focus on only network or data centre are unable to offer the same seamless combination of security and performance.

To support your infrastructure and application management needs, Bell has launched a national initiative to increase the size of its data centre footprint. This initiative allows us to better serve enterprise and mid-market customers with improved co-location, hosting and managed services in Canada. By June 2011, Bell will have five state-of-the-art data centres operating in the regions of Montréal, Calgary and Toronto. Read the full news story.
