DataYard

DataYard is a private, family-owned cloud and IT services provider based in Dayton, Ohio, United States, operating since 1995. The company delivers cloud hosting, cloud management & consulting, data center colocation, cybersecurity, and data backup & recovery, with services positioned for organizations that need U.S.-hosted infrastructure and a managed-services partner with direct engineering support.

DataYard also markets a dedicated Dayton data center colocation offering and positions its cloud hosting as private cloud infrastructure hosted in its Dayton facility.

A notable, clearly stated differentiator is DataYard’s emphasis on U.S.-hosted cloud instances and a financially-backed uptime guarantee (as shown on company/about pages).
