STAY ABOVE THE CLOUD
WITH PEAK HOSTING.
If your business relies on the Internet – and you
don’t want to hire your own technical operations
staff or be your own Internet plumber – there is
only one choice: Dedicated managed hosting, or
Operations-as-a-ServiceSM
(OaaS). The view from
above the cloud is clear.

When it comes to managing operations infrastructure, many think
there are just two choices: Do-it-yourself (DIY) in-house or outsource
functions to the cloud. What if we told you there was a third option?
And a better one, at that…
Peak Hosting dedicated managed hosting supports more than just your hardware. It
maintains and supports elements that cloud service providers don't – for a support
level that goes way beyond the cloud.
