"I knew Cogent because of the reliability, security and price. The relationship I got with Cogent was different than other vendors. It wasn’t ‘ok, here’s the quote, sign here, get started’, our salesperson was very partnership-oriented, which I liked.”

– Nelson Nahum, Co-Founder & CEO, Geyser Data

Geyser Data provides archival cloud storage as a service for businesses. Their goal was to develop a solution that allowed businesses to store data for a long period of time, in an easy, reliable, secure and low cost way. They use tape instead of the traditional hard disk. When they were looking for a partner for networking that could grow with them to potentially dozens of sites worldwide, Co-Founder and CEO Nelson Nahum turned to Cogent.

After having previous, positive experiences with Cogent, Nahum turned to Cogent again as he was starting his newest endeavor a year ago. He knew that his customers needed reliable bandwidth to upload and download their data and even after looking at other providers, he came back to Cogent, knowing that they could provide them service where they needed it, but also support the growth that Geyser is planning to have going forward.

Knowing that Cogent has a reliable and secure networking and that they will be there to support not only the initial one location but have the on-net locations to support their expansion is why Geyser Data chose Cogent, even if it meant a difference in price. Other providers saw Geyser Data as another customer who would install service and then never hear from them again, with Cogent, Geyser Data knew that they were going to get a provider that supported them, both with their initial service and future growth.
