(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Data center operator and managed hosting provider Peak 10 (www.peak10.com) announced on Tuesday it has signed an agreement where it will house retail reporting services provider dunnhumbyUSA within its Cincinnati facility.
The announcement comes off the heels of last week's opening of Peak 10's second data center in Tampa.
The 15,400 square foot data center brings the company's total Tampa data center space to more than 30,000 square feet.
According to the press release, DunnhumbyUSA "collects and stores customers' buying data to help retailers make competitive pricing decisions and enhance customer relationships and loyalty."
The company has a diverse range of customers in the retail, manufacturing, financial services and telecom industries.
"DunnhumbyUSA's services are more essential than ever, given the current state of the economy," says Ernest Leffler, vice president and general manager of Peak 10 Cincinnati. "With a growing number of retailers seeking its services, dunnhumbyUSA was in need of a secure facility to house its immense amount of consumer data. The combination of our enterprise class facility, fully-redundant network, geographic diversity, portfolio of managed services and expert staff allows us to fully support both the present and future IT needs of dunnhumbyUSA."
Located in the Cincinnati suburb of West Chester, Ohio, the Peak 10 data center offers colocation, enterprise hosting, data recovery solutions and managed services.
The facility, which opened earlier this year, has multiple levels of security, uninterruptible power, HVAC systems, fire suppression and around-the-clock monitoring and management.
It is SAS70 Type II compliant and is interconnected by Peak 10's private network, which provides customers high availability and enables them to access data centers in eight other markets in the eastern US in disaster recovery situations.
In addition to Cincinnati, Peak 10 owns and operates data centers in Atlanta, Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina, Tampa and Jacksonville, Florida, Nashville, Louisville, Kentucky and Richmond, Virginia.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
