Cloud Carib, a provider of managed cloud and ICT services headquartered in The Bahamas, has announced its expansion into Latin America with the opening of a new CaribPod, or data centre, in Ecuador.

The CaribPod in Ecuador is a Tier 4 facility from which Cloud Carib will provide managed cloud and ICT services to regional businesses and government agencies.

Last month, Cloud Carib announced that 2017 was a record year for the company, with revenue doubling year-over-year and the addition of over 40 new ICT jobs.

Growth was spurred by organizations seeking cloud technology expertise and help understanding the risks and regulations necessary to leverage and accelerate digital transformation.

Cloud Carib also operates data centres in the Bahamas (Nassau and Freeport), Jamaica, Barbados and Panama. The Ecuador CaribPod is supported by Cloud Carib’s Command and Control Centre in Nassau, which offers round-the-clock support and service to clients including leading financial services organizations and governments.

With the opening of its Ecuador CaribPod, Cloud Carib is well positioned to accelerate expansion plans into Latin America, according to CEO Scott MacKenzie.

“The Caribbean and Latin America are just beginning to pursue digital transformation to boost local economies and deliver better, more efficient services to citizens.”

“We are committed to being the region’s premier provider of cloud and managed ICT services, and we’ll continue to invest in our infrastructure over the coming months.”
