Many of RKL’s clients are in highly regulated sectors that have stringent compliance requirements. As compliance certifications became increasingly important, RKL set out to enhance the resiliency and security of its IT infrastructure operations.
RKL explored multiple options in the infrastructure marketplace. Public cloud was not a solution due to compliance and security concerns. The firm also dismissed self-performance in a data center due to cost and the timeframe to achieve certifications required by their clients.
After reviewing numerous Pennsylvania data centers, RKL selected Direct LTx in Reading. What lead to that decision? Art Balk, the RKL infrastructure manager who led the search, shares the decision process and the resulting experience with Direct LTx:
“RKL needed a data center that was SOC 2 compliant, with the associated redundancy and security profile. Among all the options we reviewed, Direct LTx stood out. They offered robust, redundant solutions and many of their customers utilized Direct LTx’s SOC 2 certification to meet their own compliance requirements. The opportunity to collocate in a highly compliant environment was exactly what s were looking for. The rock-solid data center property in Reading is robust, redundant, has no single point of failure and undergoes frequent updates and improvements both physically and technologically.”
