Enterprise Hybrid Cloud

The Private Enterprise Cloud – by Peak Hosting

You need an application environment that is built to handle your production needs. That means enterprise class tools, multiple levels of monitoring and alerts, built-in security and compliance, along with the performance and reliability you need for critical infrastructure. Welcome to the Private Enterprise Cloud, brought to you by Peak Hosting.

We took a long look at solutions that were in the marketplace offering cloud services and realized that they tended to be simply gussied up consumer solutions – simply not appropriate for “can’t be down” production applications supporting a dynamic business.

With this in mind Peak Hosting took advantage of our multiple datacenter footprint and our managed hosting expertise to build a robust cloud infrastructure meant for the enterprise.

When you are in the Private Enterprise Cloud, you have a dedicated resource pool of redundant and robust hardware. From our 10Gbps 2N network architecture to the latest multi-core processors to dedicated Hitachi AMS SAN technology, you get the ability to manage your own environment per your best practices – not someone else’s.

How do we do it?

First Class Network
2N 10GBps core network with Brocade 10Gbps rack switches give critical applications room to scale

Take advantage of our extensive peering network and multiple inter/intra datacenter connectivity options

Dedicated Server Hardware
Dell R-series servers give you the performance and peace of mind you expect for your critical applications

All servers are configured with redundant power supplies and iDRAC6 Enterprise. Our hardware is backed by our dedicated Out of Band Management network for complete hardware control.

HDS Enterprise Storage
Hitachi Data Systems AMS series SAN technology delivers reliability with deterministic performance

Our bi-coastal SAN deployment provides full block-level snapshot support and simple replication to meet even the most stringent RPO/RTO requirements. We can also provide dedicated namespace on our Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) to assist with archiving and long-term data storage needs.

Security and Redundancy
We take security seriously and have the infrastructure to prove it

All network equipment is run in HA mode (High Availability) including firewalls and load balancers. We provide secure access via VPN to the datacenter with all customer environment divided into private VLANs. In addition, all datacenter footprints are SSAE 16 and SAS70 Type II certified.

Flexible Virtualization and OS Selection
Full support for the VM environment and OS that you have standardized on for your applications

We provide full support for VMware, Xen Essentials, Xen.org and KVM. Our operating system support consists of 200+ configurations including Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Solaris, Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian. Peak Hosting also realizes that some applications require dedicated hardware to run consistently – we are happy to integrate dedicated server configurations into your resource pool as needed..
