Myers, formerly of Level 3 Communications, will work to support and expand ViaWest’s Texas operation, which provides infrastructure-as-a-service solutions. ViaWest is a privately held data center and managed services providers with headquarters in Denver, Colo.

Myers brings hands-on experience with the type of Fortune 1000 companies that ViaWest wants to attract and retain as customers. Texas is a key market for the company, given the regional presence of industry leaders in the region.

My team is made up of highly experienced professionals that know how to solve complex IT issues, and I look forward to building more success for our customers."
