Q – What types of facilities or personnel would be considered End Users?
Example 1:
- Facilities Management personnel whose primary responsibilities are the management and operation of all aspects of a data center for either the government, or for a corporation’s purpose-built mission critical data center, of which the corporation is dependent on the as-designed functional operation of the facility to enable their business to function. Here are some examples:
- Corporate Data Center Examples: Visa, Walmart, JPMorgan Chase, etc.

- Facilities Management employees of a company at a co-location data center, or provides outsourced cloud computing services directly for corporations
- Colocation Provider Examples: H5, CoreSite; Iron Mountain, Flexential, etc.
