What makes Peak Hosting different?
Here are 8 reasons your Operations should be outsourced to Peak Hosting today.
Peak Hosting’s staff is committed to answer one fundamental question: “What’s the most we can do?” Our philosophy explains why Peak Hosting’s products, support levels, and service offerings go above and beyond any other. Because we deliver so much more, your applications run faster, more securely, and more reliably – all while costs go down. The industry giant’s focus on shareholder return which fundamentally alters their attitude toward the two most expensive elements of the Managed Services: staffing and redundancy. Because they focus on their bottom-line, rather than the customer experience and highest possible uptime, they’re motivated to offer minimal support, engineering, and architecture redundancy, even when it negatively affects each customer’s business.
Peak’s staff innately understands your company’s success is contingent on our error-free execution. Peak architecture, engineering and support staff average 15+ years of experience. Our industry veterans know the solution to your problem before the questions are even asked. Who would you prefer to host your company’s mission critical infrastructure – a novice or a seasoned pro?
Peak’s AlwaysUp ArchitectureSM ensures continuous operations. Every moving part of your solution – server, PDU, switch, router, fan, hard drive, SAN, controller, power supply, cable, and any other moving part is redundant. Component failure will never escalate to service failure. Unfortunately, commodity Managed Hosting vendors have learned they can increase short-term profitability by skimping on redundancy. They simply don’t consider the full ramifications of system or component failure to their customer’s business. They believe if they swap “like for like” hardware within an hour, all is forgiven. However, your staff will still have to spend hours or even days re-deploying your code, data, and configuration to fully restore your service. At Peak we ask the question, “Instead of replacing in an hour, what if it never failed in the first place?”
Peak Hosting stands alone as the only cloud or managed hosting provider to deliver a 100% SLA with zero exceptions or carve outs for scheduled or emergency maintenance windows. Only Peak Hosting is able to maintain, repair, and upgrade our environment with zero interruption to the customers’ service. Our expertise, architecture and design, combined with our commitment to doing things the right way – not the easy or expedient way – provide the certainty, knowing that your infrastructure will never be down. While the industry as a whole claims to support 100% uptime, the truth is far from it. Service providers interrupt their customer’s business when they schedule and or declare an emergency maintenance window, defined as “whenever is needed for as long as it takes”. At Peak, we believe that no company should be down because it’s more convenient or economical to take datacenters offline for maintenance.

PTO’s unmatched service and architecture ensure unprecedented savings, security, performance, scalability and uptime.

Peak Hosting’s Enterprise Scaling PlatformSM merges our enterprise-class private cloud with dedicated and fully managed servers, greatly extending performance and scaling capacity without overspending on underutilized equipment. Peak Hosting combines the fastest dedicated servers with the industry’s only enterprise-class dedicated private cloud. This way you leverage the highest performance, lowest total cost of ownership, greatest security, and best scaling in the cloud – all this with zero downtime.
When asked about scalability, most cloud and dedicated server providers answer, “that’s easy, just buy more.” Only those who put selling their products ahead of addressing their customers’ needs would take such a self-serving and simplistic approach. Peak Hosting’s architects have scaled some of the world’s largest and most successful Internet sites such as MySpace and Hulu among many others in the Software-as-a-Service, social networking, video streaming, on-line advertising, health care, finance, gaming, and online dating verticals. Whether it’s our enterprise private cloud or dedicated servers, Peak understands how to apply the right tool, at the right time, for the right job.
Peak Hosting knows only experienced architects, (not APIs or software) successfully support complex managed hosting solutions. A GUI or FAQ are woefully insufficient when your company needs meaningful expertise, design, architecture, or support. Peak Hosting understands that your company requires experienced architects ready to deliver soup-to-nuts solutions that deliver customized: architecture and design, server, storage, network, security, database, application, operating system, virtualization, monitoring, alerting, performance trending analysis, back-up, archiving, load balancing, and migration. Enterprise and SMB companies especially need more than just infrastructure and a platform. Above all, they need a trusted hosting partner able to deliver on time, under budget and beyond expectations. Since 2001, Peak Hosting has seen all sorts of hosting, hardware, and architecture trends come and go. As one of the oldest and most mature managed hosting providers, Peak cuts through the hype to the solutions your business needs, not the latest buzzword.
