Peer
1 Hosting, the global Web infrastructure and cloud hosting provider,
announced today that Total
Uptime Technologies has expanded its datacenter footprint into Peer
1’s facilities in San Jose, Calif., and Portsmouth, UK, to better serve
global customers. For three years, Total Uptime has relied upon Peer 1
and its wholly-owned FastFiber
Network to guarantee 100 percent uptime and unbeatable IT
performance for its customers. Additionally, as a result of this
successful cooperation, Peer 1 has welcomed Total Uptime into its Smart
Partner Program.
Total Uptime helps online businesses and other Internet-centric
organizations improve their customer experience and maximize revenue
opportunities by ensuring their Web presence never falters. By creating
virtual duplicates of customers’ hosting environments, Total Uptime can
facilitate failovers to secondary facilities such as Peer 1’s in the
case of a datacenter outage. In this role, Total Uptime has come to rely
upon Peer 1 as a dependable hosting provider partner to support
failovers for customers in North America and Europe.
Since 2011, not a single Peer 1 datacenter where Total Uptime colocates
infrastructure has experienced an outage, ensuring an unwavering
environment for Total Uptime’s customers when their primary hosting
provider experiences performance issues. Because of this level of
reliability, Total Uptime has now joined the Smart Partner Program,
which creates mutually beneficial revenue streams for Peer 1 and its
partners.
“The performance and availability that Peer 1 ensures for our customers
is unmatched, and after recommending them to our customers for the last
three years, we’re thrilled to enter into a formal partnership,” said
Jonathan Hoppe, co-founder of Total Uptime. “The Peer 1 team has
demonstrated their commitment to our goals and growth, and has the
technical knowledge and capability to get us there. That’s really the
winning combination for a hosting provider, and has enabled Total Uptime
to deliver the best possible service to our customers.”
A key ingredient in Total Uptime’s services is Peer 1’s anycast failover
capabilities, which route failovers to the topologically nearest node in
a group of potential receivers, rather than to a unique endpoint.
Anycast failovers ensure minimal latency and a seamless transition
between sites, and is in high demand by many of today’s most
performance-sensitive enterprises and online businesses. However, due to
its highly technical nature and reliance on unwavering network
connectivity, very few hosting providers can offer anycast failover.
Peer 1’s anycast services ensure that its customers, and its partners’
customers, can maintain optimal performance in any of its facilities.
“Our partners are a huge part of our success, and we value the
relationship we have developed with Total Uptime in the last three
years,” said Kevin Paolino, senior vice president, revenue, Peer 1.
“Most businesses today rely on impeccable Web performance, and any
degradation or drops in service would likely result in a damaged
reputation or even lost revenue. Failover capabilities, especially
anycast, are therefore integral in any hosting environment. We look
forward to continuing to expand this partnership with Total Uptime and
ensure the best possible performance for its customers.”
About Total Uptime
Total Uptime Technologies, LLC is a privately held provider of cloud
solutions designed to help organizations achieve high availability in a
demanding online world. Our multi-datacenter, multi-country cloud
platform easily delivers on our uptime promise because it has been
engineered from the ground up to be fast, flexible and resilient.
While other organizations were busy renaming their legacy solutions as
“cloud” and dressing them up to take advantage of the latest hype, Total
Uptime Technologies was engineering a true cloud platform that was
multi-datacenter at its core. In our mind, cloud meant resilient, and
resilient meant that we had to design an application that could span
infrastructure at different datacenters in different geographies –
continents apart. Only then would we be content with calling it “cloud”.
