ENGLEWOOD, CO — (Marketwired) — 10/14/14 — a leading international provider of hybrid cloud hosting and data center solutions, today announced the expansion of its credit facility with RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities (USA) and funded by a consortium of over 20 leading financial institutions and institutional investors.
