TYSONS, VA--(Marketwired - Dec 7, 2015) - ByteGrid Holdings LLC , a leading provider of highly compliant hosting solutions, today announced a new portfolio of compliant colocation, managed hosting, and cloud IT infrastructure services delivered from a national platform of data centers.
ByteGrid has expanded the availability of highly compliant Life and Health Science hosting platform to ByteGrid's Seattle, Chicago and Washington DC Metro data centers. These ByteGrid locations have been formally qualified to offer the highest levels of technology, security and compliance of any national IT infrastructure services provider.
ByteGrid's comprehensive Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS) approach features specialized capabilities serving enterprises and government organizations in highly regulated industries, such as Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Medical Devices, Healthcare, etc., as well as the ability to offer significantly higher levels of compliance and accreditation to new and existing IT infrastructure services customers.
Unlike mainstream cloud and IT infrastructure providers, ByteGrid's datacenters have been fully qualified against US FDA, Chinese FDA, European GxP, and HIPAA/HITECH regulations. ByteGrid has set itself apart by leveraging an innovative Quality Management System (QMS) comprised of over 50 compliance policies, standard operating procedures, and forms that fully trace to the regulations. This includes documented procedures, staff training records, system risk assessment, change control/validation programs that are led by an experienced quality team that is CISA and CRISC certified.
ByteGrid's increasing expertise in compliance further enables it to serve increasing interest in mitigating risk and securing critical applications, sensitive information and regulated data. ByteGrid CaaS solutions range from secure infrastructure, gap analysis, remediation, audit, ongoing security and compliance monitoring, incident response and forensics, with solutions engineered to meet customer's exact specifications.
"ByteGrid's national expansion is driven by our focus on meeting the needs of our enterprise and government customers while addressing broader industry demands," said Michael Duckett, Chief Executive Officer of ByteGrid. "Comprehensive, continuous compliance has become a universal requirement across many verticals and industries and is a key component for ensuring sustained security and enhancing customer value."
"Nearly all enterprises have compliance or security requirements, even in the cloud, and 451 Research has identified Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS) as a new and fast moving frontier for service providers and a definitive opportunity," said Carl Brooks, 451 Research analyst covering Service Providers. "This is about automating one of the last great manual processes remaining to mainline enterprise IT and making the notorious chore of being compliant rise to the same level of ease and speed to completion as consuming servers and storage on demand."

ByteGrid's fully validated data center platform is able to meet a broad spectrum of international GxP compliance expectations. Whether subject to the US FDA -- including 21 CFR Part 11, 210, 211 820, the Chinese FDA, EU Annex 11- or HIPAA and HITECH, ByteGrid now delivers the most cost effective, scalable, and reliable cloud hosting platform engineered for cloud implementation models including Community Cloud , Virtual Private Cloud , Private Cloud , and Hybrid Cloud .
