Background

Modern businesses rely on digital systems to power their daily operations, making the capacity, adaptability, and resilience of IT infrastructure crucial for success. That's why Flowfinity has made strategic investments in expanding our data center capabilities.

These investments ensure we're ready to support our customers' current and future processing requirements as they incorporate AI into their business processes while offering superior redundancy and disaster resilience to prevent service interruptions.

Expanded Capacity to Future-Proof Growth

Flowfinity operates a pair of redundant data centers on our own network, including links between the two, located in and managed from Canada to host cloud systems for our customers. One is in Toronto, Ontario, while the other is in Vancouver, BC.

Anticipating the growth of AI and the additional demand on our systems, Flowfinity has doubled our Toronto data center's physical footprint and power allocation, laid new fiber cables, and increased server and network capacity. These expansions ensure that the infrastructure can handle rising demands as more companies integrate AI-powered solutions into their workflows.

Companies using Flowfinity benefit from a platform flexible enough to adapt to their needs as they evolve. Whether they are scaling up existing data-driven processes or adding new AI capabilities, Flowfinity is ready to support and future-proof their growth.

AI-Readiness for Competitive Edge

As part of our commitment to innovation, Flowfinity has also introduced new clusters of Nvidia AI accelerators. These accelerators empower Flowfinity to develop and deploy AI-enhanced features, giving customers cutting-edge tools to optimize their business processes. The AI-ready infrastructure also ensures that as companies adopt AI, Flowfinity’s systems can handle the demands of complex, data-heavy applications.

Leading organizations have long trusted the Flowfinity platform as a leading tool for process automation, data collection, visualization, and integration. The addition of powerful new AI tools opens a new world of possibilities as concepts are tested and perfected in our AI Lab on an ongoing basis for customer deployment.

By choosing a platform that's already AI-ready, businesses gain a competitive edge in deploying advanced AI solutions quickly and efficiently. With Flowfinity’s self-managed accelerators, clients benefit from the power of AI while maintaining control over their data—a vital consideration for privacy-sensitive industries.

Redundancy and Disaster Resilience

Uninterrupted access to critical systems is a necessity for modern businesses. Flowfinity's data centers are interconnected but fully independent, allowing either one to back up the other in case of disruptions. Each data center is also designed with multiple fail-safes, allowing Flowfinity to handle any disturbance smoothly and securely.

By strategically separating our facilities by over 2,000 miles, we ensure our customers experience reduced service interruptions and maintain business continuity even in the event of a localized issue like a power outage, equipment failure, or natural disaster.

With these redundant systems, Flowfinity minimizes downtime risk, safeguards business operations, and protects valuable time and resources. Thanks to our investments in disaster-resilient infrastructure, customers can operate with confidence that their systems will remain stable even in the face of unforeseen natural and digital threats.

Conclusion

Flowfinity's recent infrastructure enhancements represent a significant investment in the future of AI and business process automation. By prioritizing capacity expansion, AI readiness, and redundancy for disaster resilience, Flowfinity is setting a new standard for reliable and future-proof cloud services. If your organization is looking to leverage AI while protecting their digital operations, Flowfinity’s platform offers the security, flexibility, and scalability needed to thrive in today’s fast-evolving business landscape.
