Eastern Computer Exchange
Optimizing Data Center Needs with Efficiency and Security

Established in 1990, Eastern Computer Exchange has evolved from a USA-based storage wholesale company into a global IT solutions provider delivering outcomes to customers across 5 continents under the leadership of President and CEO Brendan Lynch. Today, Eastern specializes in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Edge Computers, Digital Transformation, Security, and empowering businesses to thrive in the competitive digital landscape by offering data center solutions tailored to each client's unique needs.

The firm's core principle is delivering outcomes at the lowest total cost of ownership. Eastern understands that every business faces different challenges, from managing increasing data volumes, multiple geographies, and workplace constraints to combating evolving cyber threats. This client-centric philosophy extends across its entire service portfolio, which includes infrastructure architecture, networking, AI, and cloud solutions. Adhering to its fundamental principle, Eastern's dedicated team dives deep into each client's business to identify the best technical resources and develop solutions that deliver the best total outcome. The firm further leverages its extensive network of industry partners, cultivated over decades, to bolster this consultative approach and provide clients with tailored solutions that can be tens of thousands cheaper than larger consulting houses.

“We believe it is imperative to holistically understand each organization's unique challenges and opportunities to develop technology solutions that will meet their needs both geographically and economically,” states Lynch.

Eastern further embraces the latest technological advancements, like AI and edge, to develop a resilient infrastructure that minimizes downtime and maximizes efficiency. It’s now well-known today that cloud computing on Hyper-Scalers has a significant cost to on-prem or hosted dedicated data centers. Many numbers put the additional cost at 3X the on-prem cost. It is also known that AI solutions are not ideal for those Hyper-Scalers and it’s recognized it could cost as much as 5X an on-prem option over the life of the asset. Add in the security risk plus ensuring you are not helping your competitors “learn” from your data and large language models and compete against you, it’s critical to design the right solutions for the customers.

“To stay ahead of industry shifts, we constantly update our service portfolio and equip our team with the latest skills through OEM collaborations and internal training,” says Richard Winston, VP of Systems Engineering and Solutions at Eastern Computer Exchange. It continues to hold the highest technical certifications with the best and most strategic OEMs.

Eastern also delivers a holistic range of AI solutions meticulously crafted to address the discerning needs of contemporary enterprises. Its Hybrid-Cloud solution services seamlessly integrate on-premises and public Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS), offering unparalleled adaptability and scalability to navigate the ever-evolving business landscape with ease. Eastern's commitment to ensuring steadfast and secure network connections is exemplified through its robust connectivity solutions.

Facilitating swift and secure data transfer, this infrastructure underpins uninterrupted communication vital to your operational success. Recognizing the paramount importance of data security and continuity, Eastern extends a comprehensive suite of disaster recovery, business continuity, and cyber recovery solutions. These meticulously engineered measures fortify clients’ most critical assets, fostering resilience to effectively mitigate the impact of unforeseen disruptions. Thus, the firm empowers organizations not only to withstand the surging tide of cyber threats but also to emerge stronger and equipped to satisfy customer demands and realize profitability goals with unwavering assurance.
