ITSco and Kintarra Forge Strategic Investment Partnership

DURHAM, N.C., November 21, 2024 (Newswire.com) - The global data center services market, valued at over $250 billion in 2023 and growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 12%, along with the data security market, projected to expand at a CAGR of 14%, presents significant opportunities. In response, ITSco, an Innovative IT Services and Managed Service Provider (MSP) founded in 1996 with headquarters in Durham, NC, has formed a strategic investment partnership with Kintarra, an IT Service provider out of Santa Clarita, CA, to expand into data center and security services. This collaboration will enable ITSco to deliver advanced IT asset management solutions, supporting Kintarra’s portfolio companies and clients worldwide with a comprehensive suite of services that address the demands for data security, compliance, and sustainability. 

This strategic investment partnership allows ITSco to diversify its service offerings and geographic reach, building on its strong foundation in advanced engineering services and managed IT services. The collaboration will enable ITSco to provide an integrated approach to IT asset lifecycle management - from acquisition, maintenance, and support, through secure decommissioning of IT assets - while aligning with Kintarra’s mission to promote sustainable, compliant, and secure IT practices across its portfolio companies.

“This investment partnership with Kintarra is a game-changer for ITSco,” said Mike Savino, CEO of ITSco. “As we expand from managed data center services and data security, Kintarra’s investment and market presence will empower us to deliver end-to-end IT asset management solutions globally.
