ASHBURN, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Instor Solutions (Instor), a global leader in data center infrastructure solutions, announced today the next step in its strategic expansion with the establishment of a new East Coast office and addition of senior personnel.

Originally founded in the heart of Silicon Valley, Instor Solutions has been instrumental in the design and installation of infrastructure solutions for both new and expanding data centers since the 1980’s. The company announced international expansion with the establishment of its Ireland office in August of 2015 and, due to continued growth, has recently opened a location on the East Coast. Located at 43940 Digital Loudoun Plaza, Building G, Suite 144, Ashburn, VA 20147, this new site will serve as the company’s primary presence for the Eastern United States and better enable both New England and Mid-Atlantic customers and partners to forge successful projects with Instor.
Jim Levin is leading this growth as the newly appointed Vice President of Business Development. Having entered the data center and mission critical space in 2007, Mr. Levin has nearly 30 years of experience in sales and consulting throughout a variety of industries. Most recently with JAL Consulting where he served as Principal, Mr. Levin was previously the Director, Strategic Sales Group for Clearwater Systems Corporation.
Gary Wong joins Mr. Levin in spearheading Instor’s growing presence on the East Coast.
