Stephen Pyott President, Stage2Data

Stage2Data, Inc., Canadian cloud management service provider, announces Stephen Pyott as president to lead the company globally.

He brings a decade of experience to the Stage2Data team focusing on hybrid cloud and the deployment of DR and BC solutions. He has earned a reputation for his strategic sensibilities and his ability to see the bigger picture when putting solutions together for clients.

“We are excited about Stephen’s appointment, his experience and his vision for Stage2Data. His appointment is evidence of his proven track record of driving our unique brand and bringing innovative cloud solutions to the North American markets across the region as well as his unfaltering commitment to customer success,” says Jeff Collier, founder and board executive. “In tandem with Stephen’s appointment, we have strategically restructured our support and professional services by expanding our existing team with highly qualified and experienced professionals. We’ve made a significant investment in overhauling our data centers across Canada to mirror our world-class infrastructure recently built out for our expansion in the US.“

In his new role, Pyott will focus on cloud solutions for the North American markets, building on first to innovation such as Cloud Provider Redundancy (CPR) disaster-recovery-as-a-service technology for a new approach to “always-on” that securely connects multiple private and public clouds. Another example recently launched is Network Recovery as a Service (NRaaS), where failover and recovery are made possible for the network infrastructure. As customers are increasingly moving their data to the cloud, part of his role will entail delivering data management software solutions across Canada and USA and driving new ways of providing integrated backup, cloud storage and IT DR.

“I am absolutely grateful and thrilled to take on this new role,” he says. “The truth is that at no time has this company ever been in a better position to accomplish great things. Our infrastructure, policies and procedures are excellent; however, our greatest strength is the current team. Stage2Data is fortunate to have such a cohesive and talented group. The approaching months and year will be very exciting.“
