“I wasn’t necessarily looking for a new managed hosting company, but it was an impressive presentation and philosophy that really resonated with me. I wanted to know more.”

Running your mission critical applications in the wrong environment may not immediately reveal itself to be a problem, but one outage, loss of data, or security breach will quickly prove differently. While IT Pros look to the cloud to help lower operating costs and improve efficiency, many organizations continue to be shackled by a lack of architecture guidance, poor solutions design, and ineffective support.
