Dear Clients,
We are happy to announce the launching of our brand-new website: DataHive.ca.
A critical review showed us much of the original website was written when explanations were necessary. That isn’t the case anymore – – every day client sophistication and industry expectations change in the search for more and improved services.
Our clients look for a comprehensive service, often encompassing much more than data storage. In fact, the demands of twenty-first century technology now include a wide range of services and guarantees.
So, What’s New?
Check out how the DataHive.ca home page eliminates the need to search. By identifying one of the nine most sought-after IT icons, viewers need only click on that icon to immediately access the subject of their choice. From there, they drill down to their level of interest.
More important, we hope you will share any suggestions or comments you may have.

Dear Clients,
DataHive has received several inquiries regarding the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) currently available directly from the data centre. We are delighted to do so.
DataHive is the only data centre between Toronto and Vancouver offering in-house access to thirty-six ISPs from one location. The scope of connectivity available to you includes rural, provincial, national, international and global locations. Accordingly, a list of these ISP logos are shown below. Should you be interested in contacting any of them, go to our website, then click on your chosen logo for contact information.
Please let us know should you require more information.

A couple of weeks ago, we received a request for a copy of DataHive’s Security Strategy. This is an understandable request – – as the theft of information becomes more insidious every day, assurance of data security becomes ever more a priority.
We constantly read or hear of the latest illegal entrapment of individuals or business through theft of data, often holding the victim to ransom. Even during very difficult and vulnerable times, such as a world-wide pandemic, thieves seek more and more sophisticated methods to endanger livelihoods.
Businesses need to know they can offer their customers a high level of security. As a client, you know DataHive’s niche in the industry is our long history of maintaining a high level of security. We do not employ sales people, we have no advertising budget, our web site is low key but our service and security is amazing. As result, word-of-mouth is our key to success.
As billions of sensitive pieces of information move around the world on copper and fibre to be stored in millions of servers, at the same time thieves continually seek the most vulnerable and easy-toaccess target. Because DataHive’s business is the safe transport and secure storage of data, you have confidence that DataHive has your back.
Of course, we could not give that caller all the details regarding DataHive’s internal security. We can, however, remind clients that their experience at DataHive has never been compromised.
While DataHive does provide the underlying security, ultimately each client is responsible to insure their own equipment, programs, software, code, etc. is hardened. Please go to our website where you will be able to identify how your service ranks in the five levels of security compliance.
Should you wish to discuss your security strategy in more detail, we encourage you to call our security expert, Tomas, at 403-313-1106, or drop him a line to Tomas.Florian@DataHive.ca.
Alternatively, as President, I will be more than happy to chat with you regarding any issues or concerns relating to DataHive’s services. My email is Marjorie.Zingle@DataHive.ca.

The Internet is growing faster than the population and it follows – there is more business for you.
In April, 2020, the world population was 7,791,251,264* and the world Internet usage count was 4,574,000.000** users, or 57.8% of the world population.
Calgary’s Internet Exchange (YYCIX) has recorded an increase of at least 60% since February and DataHive’s own network has reached its highest recorded usage the first week of April.
In our newsletter of March 13, 2020, DataHive presented a full range of solutions for fulfilling remote or ‘work from home’ Internet support. This remote way of doing business has been available for some time, especially internationally. However, the experience of COVID-19 demonstrated the importance and value of efficient remote communications anywhere, anytime, internationally or locally.
The business development options discussed in the March Newsletter are worth considering. As a DataHive client you have access to any of these services and immediate opportunity to expand and promote your portfolio to a growing range of potential clients. These are organizations who, during COVID-19, learned the importance of secure, private, fast and efficient communication.
You are well positioned to take a good look at this opportunity. As a DataHive client you already have access to the largest number of Internet Service Providers in Western Canada (https://datahive.ca/isp-partners). Today you are in a position to offer your clients access to some thirty ISP providers, locally, nationally and internationally. This gives you the opportunity to expand your market reach, especially those situations where security and speed is of prime importance.
There are a number of reasons why your clients will be interested in this service. For example:
- Never experience an Internet slowdown or denial of service
- Bandwidth never over-subscribed
- Dedicated secure line – Skype and Zoom are not secure
- Eliminate repetitive staff efforts for greater efficiency
- No more waiting for a turn on the computer
- Always maintain Internet speed
- No corporate data residing on employee home computers
All indications are that the phenomenal increase in Internet usage will continue. This valuable information is not some idea for future consideration – it is something that is happening right now. Because you are a DataHive client, you are in a position to offer the service to your clients.
We have expert consultants you can call on at DataHive to discuss further, 403-313-1106. As they say: ‘Success is working smarter, not harder’. Success is always creating value and usefulness for your customers so they can go on to more useful and productive initiatives.
