Kanata North data centre Purecolo was among the recipients at the 2019 Bootstrap Awards, which honours the National Capital Region’s best self-financed firms.
Purecolo – a no-frills, carrier neutral, wholesale-priced colocation facility – made news earlier in the year when it secured a deal with Ottawa-Gatineau Internet Exchange (OGIX) to build an Internet Exchange Point (IXP) in the city, which would help boost internet speeds for companies using the service.
The company was also previously honoured at the 2018 Best Ottawa Business Awards, recognizing it as one of the best new businesses in Ottawa.
All of the firms honoured at the Bootstrap Awards, hosted at the Marshes Golf Club, have been in operation for less than seven years and received less than $500,000 in external funding.
