(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Canadian-based hosting provider Peer 1 Hosting (www.peer1.com) announced on Thursday that it had signed a multi-year colocation agreement with consulting and technology outsourcing firm Capgemini Canada Inc.
According to the deal, Capgemini will take roughly one full Performance Optimized Data Center at the company’s recently-launched flagship facility in northeast Toronto – a POD is the design unit the company uses to build out the facility. The term of the deal is five years, and includes options for renewal and expansion of the space used.
In its announcement, Peer 1 describes Capgemini as a key customer win for the company, and for the new facility.
"Just a few short months since the opening of our new Toronto data center, we have been able to secure a key anchor client," said Fabio Banducci, president and CEO of Peer 1 Hosting, quoted in the press release. "We are proud to work with a company like Capgemini to enhance their own computing power and provide their clients with another solution to their hosting needs."
The company launched the new 40,000 square-foot facility in May of this year, after roughly a year of construction that was chronicled in a series of video features appearing on WHIR TV.
Earlier this week Peer 1 announced that it had introduced Hosted Exchange services in the UK.

July 2010 - What's Next? Forecasting Hosting's Future
Technically, there's nothing new about us posing the question, "what are the next steps hosting providers must take to capitalize on the opportunities available in the business?" From the 10,000-foot view, that's the basic premise that underlies just about everything the WHIR publishes or produces. In this particular case, however, we're looking at it through an extremely significant contextual lens. That is, for much of the last two years, hosting providers have been operating in a business climate defined by an economy in crisis.

March 2010 - Web Hosting in Europe
Europe cuts an interesting figure in our coverage of the web hosting industry. From a purely news standpoint, it is very possible to treat Europe in more or less the same way that we treat North America - that is, report the facts, ask the right questions, try to anticipate the issues raised. From an analytical standpoint, however, we present a distinctly North American point of view - this being the product of circumstances (our location), rather than a bias.

January 2010 - Hottest Hosts Directory
In 2008, in our inaugural Hottest Hosts guide, I wrote that we were exploring a new format with the first in-print directory of web hosting services. And last year, I discussed the project in the context of an ongoing project, and a growing tradition here at the Web Host Industry Review. The objective, however, is not to repeat ourselves, but to help the directory evolve into a more valuable resource - something that's going to help you with your purchasing decisions, and something you're going to hold on to for the duration of the year.
