helps customers modernize their legacy systems by
migrating legacy workloads to multi-tenant or private
cloud infrastructure, allowing customers to consume
resources as they need them and get out of the lift-and-shift buying cycle. The company owns and operates
eight Midwest data centers and its own 14,000-mile fiber backbone. US Signal takes a white-glove approach
to IT transformation that elevates performance with solutions that minimize downtime, and maximize latency

functions as an extension of its clients’ IT teams, providing managed solutions and professional services that enablebusinesses to compete more effectively in today’s always-on economy.
Amanda Regnerus, US Signal’s executive vice president (EVP) for marketing and product development, has seen afundamental shift in the way that midmarket companies consume IT solutions. “Our clients don’t want to operate
and manage their own data centers. However, they understand that IT infrastructure is critical for achieving digitaltransformation. We enable clients to focus limited IT resources on analytics, customer experience, automation, anduser design — the variables that drive competitive advantage.”

the business continuity, disaster recovery, and end-to-end security strategies they need to ensure uptime, availability,and resiliency.

providing clients with an enterprise-grade, cost-effective, secure cloud service in theCentral United States.
EXPANDING SERVICES TO ADDRESS WIDESPREAD SECURITY CONCERNS
Recently, US Signal conducted a survey of Midwest business leaders to identify toplevel business and technology concerns. Three out of four respondents reported that
their biggest concerns were either distributed denial of service (DDoS) or ransomware
attacks. According to Marc Creviere, US Signal’s principal systems engineer,“Midmarket companies are underserved when it comes to keeping their data safe andtheir business up and running after an incident. We provide comprehensive solutions
that are implemented in close partnership with client IT teams. As a result, Managed
Security and Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service have become our fastest-growingsolutions.”
