Phoenix, AZ – April 13, 2010 -- IO Data Centers, a leading provider of enterprise colocation and data center solutions, has announced the launch of IO On-Demand™. IO On-Demand™ is a service that provides access to a virtual enterprise-grade IT environment – on-demand - for a fraction of the cost of building from scratch.
