"We considered all of the requirements to build a facility that would enable us to meet the stringent Tier 1 PCI compliance standards, but quickly realized that the cost would be enormous," says Joerg Beekmann, chief technology officer at DeepCove Labs. "Our goal was to seek a managed hosting provider in Canada that was Tier 1 PCI compliant, and Fusepoint was the only name on the list."
DeepCove Labs estimates that it has saved over $100,000 in initial capital outlay by selecting a service provider that is PCI compliant and able to encompass approximately 70 per cent of DeepCove's overall internal compliance check list with Fusepoint's Tier 1 Level Certification.
Under the terms of the agreement Fusepoint says it will provide a fully managed VMware environment in which its certified technical support team will manage all elements of the environment, including the hardware, operating system, database management, VMware ESX, firewall security, bandwidth, data backup, and end-to-end monitoring and reporting.
