What Skylink Data Centers does

Skylink Data Centers is a privately held Florida data center operator founded around 2015, headquartered in Naples with a secondary facility in Orlando. The company's core offering is colocation services — rack space rental for customer-owned servers and hardware in a Category 5 hurricane-hardened facility rated for sustained winds up to 200 mph, with 250 mph-rated poured concrete walls, 42-foot elevation above a 500-year flood plain, and N+1 redundant power and cooling including a 7-day onsite diesel backup generator and Dupont FE-25 chemical fire suppression. HIPAA and PCI compliance certifications, supported by dedicated certified IT Administrators and Engineers, position the firm to serve healthcare providers, government entities, and payment-processing workloads.

Layered on top of colocation, Skylink delivers a full Cloud Solutions portfolio spanning Managed Hosting (full administration of hardware, operating systems, and software), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Desktop as a Service (DaaS), Cloud Storage and Backup, Email Hosting, and Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware services. Equipment and Software Leasing (Dell servers, Force10 networking, Compellent storage, SonicWall firewalls, Cisco equipment, Microsoft SPLA licensing) and Remote Hands Services provide supporting add-ons. Pricing is predominantly quote-based, with public per-user pricing on cloud storage ($7/user/month) and email hosting ($4/mailbox with bulk discounts above 50 users).

The go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven: direct phone-based consultative selling (239.403.2950) with live voice 24/7 support, complemented by active participation in regional technology partnerships (SWFRTP), Chamber of Commerce sponsorships, and hosted facility tours. Customers include the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marines, Air Force Catering, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Hotwire, Sodexo, Delaware North, Compass Group, Crown Castle, Fibernet, Avow, and Collier Enterprises. Technology partners span Microsoft, VMware, Citrix, Dell, CenturyLink, Nutanix, and Summit Broadband. The company is founder/private with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity in the available sources.
