National Data Center Service Provider, CoreLink Data Centers, to Sponsor Illinois Technology Association TechWeek Event

MT. PROSPECT, Ill., July 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- National data center service provider, CoreLink Data Centers, LLC  (http://www.corelink.com) announced today it is a sponsor of the upcoming Illinois Technology Association (ITA) TechWeek event to be held July 22-29, 2011 in Chicago, IL.

TechWeek will bring together 10,000 people to explore a four-day innovation conference and technology expo, and over 60 partner events spanning technology, design and media and entrepreneurship. Independent events range from exhibition areas and startup pitches to interactive design workshops and product launch parties.

"With our strong focus on technology leadership and awareness, CoreLink could not pass up the opportunity to be involved in this huge technology event being held right here in our own backyard," said Michael Duckett, CoreLink president and COO. "This event will serve as a massive thinktank to share ideas, opportunities, partnerships and creative expression among high-tech Chicago companies similar to CoreLink. Our sponsorship of TechWeek reflects our on-going efforts to further promote Chicago as a national technology hub."

The TechWeek Expo July 22-25, at which CoreLink will have a booth, is a trade show and innovation space to be held at The Merchandise Mart where Fortune 100 companies will showcase the newest tech products alongside early-stage startups and university-level cutting-edge research.  CoreLink will highlight at the expo its full suite of managed security services, which include managed firewall protection, intrusion detection and prevention, virtual private network (VPN), PCI DSS compliance, and web application firewall services.

CoreLink recently announced an extension to its managed security services promotion, which will now last through August 31. The "Protect Your Assets in 2011" promotion enables participants to implement CoreLink's managed security services individually or bundled on physical or virtual platforms. In addition to the initial free, $250 value 60-minute consultation with an expert security engineer, promotion participants also receive any CoreLink managed security service free for the first 30 days. CoreLink's decision to extend the promotion is in response to the original promotion's popularity, as well as to an increase in cyber attacks on small companies as recently reported in national media.

• 100 percent uptime Service Level Agreements for mission critical applications;
