i/o Data Centers Launches Government Programs Business Unit

Ronald Yaggi to head the company's Government Business Unit.

i/o Data Centers, a data center operator and colocation provider, yesterday announced the appointment of retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Ronald Yaggi to the newly created role of Senior Vice President of Government Programs.

The company states that Yaggi joins it from Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), where he was General Manager leading Defense Intelligence and Cyber Operations teams, and previously was Director of Federal Information Assurance Solutions. Prior to entering the private sector, General Yaggi had a distinguished career of military service.

It says that the i/o ANYWHERE modular data center system, optimized and managed with the i/o OS data center infrastructure operating system, can be rapidly deployed and scaled both centrally and in the field, and is engineered to withstand environmental, logical and physical threats.

George D. Slessman, CEO of i/o, stated, "I am excited to have Ron join i/o. His track record of leadership, execution and service made him the clear choice to lead i/o's Government Programs business. Under Ron's leadership, i/o will extend our commercial tradition of excellence; designing, engineering and delivering digital energy technology to the defense and service of our country and its allies."

"I joined the company because i/o offers the most secure, technologically advanced and purpose-engineered modular data center in the entire industry, which will not only improve cyber operations but also offer substantial savings to the government," said Yaggi. "As many defense, homeland security, and other critical systems operate on a 'failure is not an option' basis, i/o is ideally suited to address the most demanding, just-in-time needs of government organizations through its digital energy technology products and services."
