The launch of a new Internet exchange point and data center at the Quantico Corporate Center in North Stafford County has local officials excited about increased online capability for local businesses and the potential for new jobs in the technology sector.
Yyotta LLC, which built the exchange point, held a launch event Wednesday at the corporate center and announced partnerships to provide faster, more secure Internet to the region and Quantico Marine Corps Base.
“We’re thankful for data center... positively giddy,” said Stafford Supervisor Wendy Maurer, who was among the officials on hand for the event. “This is an opportunity for local businesses to connect faster…. It is huge leap forward in terms of economic development.”
Yyotta LLC was formed in 2013 in Stafford to respond to provide secure, fast internet to areas such as Quantico, where government, private business and education intersect, said spokesman Don Goodwin.
