Peak 10 Expands Tampa Data Center
April 25, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Data center operator and Managed service provider Peak 10 (peak10.com) announced on Tuesday that it plans to expand its Tampa data center to support its growth in Florida. The company says the expansion is part of a planned phase two build-out that supports Peak 10's rapid customer growth.
Peak 10 will increase the size of its Tampa facility by more than 30 percent, using contiguous build-out data center space to expand the existing facility, maintaining high standards for security and redundancy.
The company says all of its data centers are engineered with multiple levels of security, uninterruptible power, redundant HVAC systems, fire suppression and around-the-clock monitoring and management. They are interconnected to Peak 10's private network, enabling the company to meet its objectives for high availability and business continuity.
"This data center expansion is not only a sign of Peak 10's success and unprecedented growth, but also demonstrates our continued commitment and investment to the Tampa market," says David Jones, president and chief executive officer of Peak 10. "The expansion of our facilities in Tampa and our other strategic markets is driven by a clear understanding of technology trends, market conditions and the overall IT outsourcing landscape. Our success is founded on this approach, allowing us to provide customers with the most robust facilities and hosting services built with an eye on today's needs and our continued growth moving forward."
Peak 10 operates a network of seven data centers and provides a portfolio of managed data services including disaster recovery, storage, monitoring, security and data protection.
Earlier this month, the company announced that it had signed Virtual Resort Manager as a new client.

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.
