Peak Hosting Deploys SolidFire All-Flash Storage

Peak Hosting (Peak Web, LLC), a provider of Operations-as-a-ServiceSM (OaaS) managed hosting, and SolidFire, Inc. announced that Peak Hosting has deployed SolidFire’s all-flash, scale-out storage to provide guaranteed performance to its customers.

The addition of SolidFire’s storage platform to Peak Hosting’s next-generation data center infrastructure offers customers the simplicity, speed, scalability, reliability and guaranteed QoS they require. SolidFire’s high IO/s, low-latency and performance throughput enable Peak Hosting to meet the variable performance requirements of its mixed-workload environment.

“At Peak Hosting, we have always focused heavily upfront on the design of our customers’ hosting architecture to meet their complex requirements,” said Jon Billow, VP, engineering, Peak Hosting. “Adding SolidFire as part of our AlwaysUp SAN portfolio allows us to further meet our customers’ performance expectations for their storage in a measurable and accountable way.“

Peak Hosting’s all-flash solution aligns with the requirements of each client application and grows storage incrementally without downtime or performance impact. SolidFire’s ability to scale out immediately, non-disruptively and without additional hardware is essential for ensuring clients’ hosted environments are up and running at all times. In addition, SolidFire’s integrated volume-level QoS capabilities allow Peak Hosting to ensure fast and predictable performance for critical customer workloads and eliminate noisy-neighbor issues. Peak Hosting can also increase its operational efficiency by consolidating mixed workloads on a single storage platform while maintaining a price point that is competitive with traditional storage solutions.

“Peak Hosting’s customers are fast-moving leaders in their fields who are embracing innovation in their hosting environments,” said Stuart Oliver, global service provider programs manager, SolidFire. “By deploying an all-flash architecture Fueled By SolidFire, Peak Hosting can deliver true performance guarantees of dedicated storage with the economics of a shared infrastructure and help its customers to transition to the Next Generation Data Center.“

SolidFire’s Helix Data Protection reduces data exposure and helps Peak Hosting deliver on its 100% uptime SLAs and its shared-nothing architecture ensures that no single component failure will result in a service outage for customers.

Peak Hosting offers three tiers of SolidFire’s all-flash array storage to meet customers’ specific needs for scalability and guaranteed performance. In addition, both Peak Hosting and SolidFire’s 24/7 monitoring of customer environments proactively detect if a customer will approach their capacity or performance threshold and will suggest scaling the storage needs immediately.
