Northwest Regional Data Center began as a nonprofit consortium for shared mainframe services, providing local universities with the enormous computing power they require without shouldering the full costs of mainframe ownership.
Today, we continue to evolve by offering software, infrastructure, storage and other data center capabilities as a service to Florida's higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, and state and local government agencies — at a significant cost savings.
Our goal is to help smaller organizations, or those with technology challenges, by providing enterprise-level solutions at a reduced cost.
NWRDC offers a superior infrastructure for system support and application hosting, providing 24x7 management support. Over the last decade, we have expanded to include a wide range of services well beyond the traditional footprint of the normal data center.
