We keep you far ahead of the technology learning curve
Whether it’s running expensive, in-house data centers or relying on a hodgepodge of different IT strategies to protect against hackers, colleges and universities often struggle with solutions that are largely outdated and impractical. By choosing to work with FirstLight, you can upgrade your campus’s connectivity, cloud storage, disaster recovery solutions, and more – all while being cost-effective.

Relocating Your Campus Data Center
Moving your data center off campus? We can help.
Running your own on-campus data center can be capital-intensive – and can also take up valuable real estate that you could otherwise use for more classrooms and extra lab space. By working with FirstLight, you can relocate your data to a well-protected, off-campus data center – and still have high-performance networking. Meanwhile, your staff are freed up to focus on mission-critical jobs, and not having to repair or replace gear every few years.
