GREENVILLE, S.C. (February 4, 2010) Immedion, LLC, South Carolina's first dedicated data center and managed services provider has been selected by the City of Charleston for virtual hosting services. After careful consideration, the City of Charleston selected Immedion because they offered an excellent level of services at a highly competitive price.

Before deciding on Immedion, the City of Charleston had been actively looking for a new data center for hosting services. "We were looking to rebuild our site and move to a new provider at the same time," shares Wes Ratterree, the City of Charleston's CIO. "Because of budgeting constraints the new site was put on the back burner, but we still had to move over to a new provider as soon as possible," he states. "We had been looking at top tier providers in the southeast region and narrowed it down to three. After reviewing RFP responses from our top choices, we determined Immedion provided the level and quality of services we wanted at a price we couldn't pass up," explains Ratterree.
