Peak Raises $4 Million in New Funding

IaaS cloud service provider to channel partner

Peak (formerly PeakColo), an enterprise IaaS cloud provider for channel partners, has secured $4 million in new financing from its current investment group, Meritage Funds and Sweetwater Capital Group.

The funding will help support key partnerships including a recently announced agreement with Telx, provider of interconnectivity and datacenter solutions.

The funding will also support Peak’s continued demand for cloud computing services due to its channel-centric sales and service model.

Peak offers cloud computing to its large ecosystem of VARS, distributors, agents and service providers who white-label or re-sell Peak’s cloud as their own solution.

With cloud nodes located in eight geographies across the United States and Europe including Silicon Valley, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, New Jersey, New York, Atlanta, and UK, it is able to address a range of services including DR, production workloads, storage and backup in the cloud. Leveraging Peak’s 100% uptime SLA as well as its dedicated compute and storage resources, clients can easily access Peak’s cloud nodes from their office locations, data centers or even other clouds via its patented Layer 2 Direct Connect services, an option allowing migration to its cloud computing and specialized application environments.

By securing additional funding, Peak manifests its destiny by expanding into additional markets coast to coast, and serving a larger client base,” comments Luke Norris, CEO and founder, Peak. “With our patented technologies we are helping companies realize the many benefits of enterprise cloud computing more readily and more economically. As such we have seen over 430% growth over the past two years. We are excited about our year ahead and further serving our reseller and agent community with our best-in-class solutions.”

Cloud solutions powered by Peak include personalized, high-touch technical service and support as noted by its 2013 awards and recognition including:

  • #5 Ranking on CRNs 2013 Fast Growth 150 List
  • Talkin’Cloud Top 100 Cloud Services Provider Award
