Logicworks currently hosts infrastructure within data centers operated by Equinix (New York and Silicon Valley) and Digital Realty (Piscataway, N.J.). However, the company notes that more and more customers are inquiring about managed Amazon Web Services. Most of Logicworks' customers are businesses focused on security and compliance focused businesses - the types you wouldn't expect to embrace public cloud. “We’re not a cloud provider, we deliver compliant infrastructure.” Customers Growing Comfortable with Public Cloud “Cloud is really just a tool we use to deliver value to our client,” said Deck.

National initiatives focused on advancing healthcare technology have furthered boosted the opportunity. The company has a focus on security and regulatory compliance, so it tends to attract a lot of healthcare and legal customers. The healthcare vertical is its biggest market in terms of overall revenue. The bulk of its business is managing private clouds for customers running big, complex web-facing applications. The company was founded way back in 1993, but has been embracing cloud over the last seven or eight years as the technology hit the limelight. Managed hosting provider Logicworks sees a massive opportunity in healthcare.
