DC BLOX Empowers Encompass Health with Colocation and Connectivity

Data Center Services Support Company’s Growth and Enhance Service Reliability

DC BLOX, a provider of multi-tenant data centers that deliver the infrastructure and connectivity essential to power today’s digital business, announces that it has been selected by Encompass Health, a national leader in integrated healthcare services, as its colocation and connectivity service provider. Encompass Health (NYSE: EHC) offers both facility-based and home-based patient care through its network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, home health agencies and hospice agencies. The company selected DC BLOX’s Huntsville, Alabama, data center as its colocation site due to its ability to deliver a secure, reliable data center environment with the ideal mix of geographic advantage, comprehensive connectivity and added resilience.

Encompass Health delivers service across a national footprint that includes approximately 136 hospitals, 245 home health locations and 83 hospice locations in 39 states and Puerto Rico. As a company that is committed to delivering high-quality, cost-effective, integrated care, Encompass Health was seeking a data center partner that could meet its expanding needs for connectivity, security and scalability while offering a location that is an appropriate distance from its existing core data center in Birmingham, Alabama, for improved resilience.

“The DC BLOX team has been great to work with throughout the entire process of our move. They are very knowledgeable in data center services and did a great job in getting our space and power requirements in place, assisting with any additional needs along the way,” comments Jamey Harris, Director of Information Technology for Encompass Health. “DC BLOX offered what we required as a public company operating in a highly regulated environment. Their capability, value and commitment to Alabama helped solidify our choice to partner with them, and they offer a variety of valuable, competitive services that we will continue to evaluate as our partnership matures.”

DC BLOX’s Tier III-designed colocation services offer Encompass Health improved reliability and uptime, enhanced business continuity and disaster recovery, and resilient connectivity. Private connections with protected paths were established between Encompass’s primary data center in Birmingham and the DC BLOX Huntsville data center, ensuring reliable and secure communications between the two facilities.

“The regional data needs of Encompass Health align well with DC BLOX’s data center locations and connectivity services across the Southeastern U.S.,” states Kurt Stoever, DC BLOX’s Chief Sales and Marketing Officer. “With the increased criticality of quality healthcare services during this pandemic, DC BLOX is pleased to do our small part in helping Encompass to enhance their services.”
