About Erie Blue

Cleveland, Ohio based Erie Blue, LLC is an authorized Agent of leading Northeast Ohio data centers. Erie Blue principals Mark McGinness and Jeff Tirey have combined over 24 years of experience in telecommunications, data center services, dark fiber and data center marketing.  We focus on data centers located throughout the Great Lakes region with a specific emphasis on the markets of Cleveland, Akron and Canton, Ohio.  As Agents, we assist our clients by helping those businesses select the correct data center that best fits our clients’ needs and objectives.

Our service is free to our clients, who will benefit from our professional insights and industry knowledge.  Our business model is similar to that of real-estate agents where buyers are represented free of charge by an agent.    Erie Blue is paid a commission by the data center only when we successfully place your business within a data center.

The Erie Blue Method

Erie Blue’s role is to identify and research the best of breed data centers. We recognize that in the data center market there are choices among services providers. Yet within all free-market competitive environments, data centers seek to develop competitive differences and niches. It is our goal to research and understand these strategic differences among the best of breed data centers and then use this data to help our clients in the data center services selection process.
