Communications company Cogeco Inc. plans to open a data centre in Montreal, an investment that could reach $100 million over 10 years. Chief executive Louis Audet says the Montreal data centre would be in addition to five data centres in Toronto and one in Vancouver. Audet told a luncheon speech in Montreal that the new centre will allow companies to outsource their data servers, which take up a lot of space and require specialized employees to look after them. Audet didn't elaborate on what companies Cogeco could target for data hosting services in Montreal.
