Hosted Solutions (www.hostedsolutions.com), a Raleigh, N.C.-based provider of managed hosting and data center services, has acquired Boston Datacenters, Inc., Charlestown, Massachusetts.

Privately-held Hosted Solutions also runs three SAS 70 Type II certified data centers, located in Charlotte, Cary and Raleigh, North Carolina. In addition to continuing to provide managed hosting and colocation services to Boston Datacenter customers, the company will offer expanded capabilities, including dedicated servers, managed storage, managed load balancing, business continuity and managed security services.

The acquisition expands geographic data management options for Boston Datacenter’s customers, who rely on Boston Datacenters to provide 100 percent availability of managed hosted data, as well as colocation and a variety of data center support services. It also brings one of the fastest growing East Coast managed service providers into the Boston area and will provide New England companies with one of the only facilities able to handle the power and cooling needs of a wide range of companies.

The technical infrastructure of the Boston location, one of the few managed hosting datacenters nationally to be located on two power grids, will be interconnected with Hosted Solutions’ North Carolina sites at the network core. Hosted Solutions, which plans to retain personnel in the Boston datacenter, also has announced plans to enhance the local infrastructure and implement streamlined operational processes to support customer requirements.
