Cincinnati, OH — Profitability.net, a leading managed services and data center services provider, acquired Cincinnati-based CNSGroup LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary DataSuites LLC (DataSuites).

DataSuites provides secure private data center environments for some of the Tri-state’s largest public companies. The acquisition provides Profitability.net with an existing 11,000 sq. ft. data center and 12,000 sq. ft. of expansion space.

“This acquisition supports our growth plan to be the first choice among local executives and IT professionals for data center space and managed services,” said Aaron Larkins, President of Profitability.net. “DataSuites provides us with a $6+ million dollar data center infrastructure that will be used as a primary or disaster recovery facility for our clients.” The DataSuites facility was engineered with multiple levels of security, uninterruptible backup power via a UPS and diesel generator with a 5,000 gallon fuel reserve, redundant HVAC systems, fire suppression, and located in proximity to fiber routes of several major carriers. Profitability.net has already added electronic colocation cabinet locking with access alerts and logging to provide an additional audit trail for clients who have regulatory compliance concerns such as HIPAA or Sarbanes Oxley.

Profitability.net provides colocation, cage suites, enterprise hosting, and a wide range of managed services including security, disaster recovery, monitoring and email archiving for compliance. Profitability.net helps clients focus on their core business by improving service levels of critical applications. With this new facility, Profitability.net can now serve larger clients who require a significant amount of secure datacenter space for their operations. Profitability.net will also use the facility to develop new partnerships with IT service providers who need a data center partner.

“Compared to 5 years ago, companies are increasingly realizing the benefits of outsourcing the management and hosting of their IT environments to local data center operators,” said Larkins. “Service providers and clients who can work together to identify clear lines of responsibility and service levels will improve cost savings while meeting organizational goals such as revenue growth and/or compliance.”
