(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider PEER 1 Network Enterprises (www.peer1.com) announced on Wednesday it is proving a managed hosting solution for Serotek’s (www.serptek.com) text-to-speech screen reader services and remote access solutions for tech professionals who are blind or low vision.
Serotek operates a complete Internet service provider and online community specifically designed to meet the needs of visually impaired computer users.
The company has expanded significantly, tripling its business in two years. As a result, the company was looking to expand its infrastructure.
After six years with dedicated hosting provider ServerBeach, a subsidiary of PEER 1, Serotek seamlessly transitioned its complete business hosting solution over to PEER 1 managed hosting earlier this year.
The company says the new managed hosting solution has allowed Serotek to nearly quadruple its online capacity, making its system more robust and able to support the thousands of Serotek users.
Serotek customers can now access PEER 1′s 24-hour FirstCall Support and Load Balancing service, while Serotek’s employees, the majority of whom are blind, can work remotely from their homes across the country via the company’s web portal and online community.
“Serotek’s transition from ServerBeach to a fully managed hosting solution demonstrates PEER 1′s ability to scale with our customers through all the stages of their business growth,” says Robert Miggins, senior vice president of business development for PEER 1. “Whether our customers are significantly growing or need to cut back, PEER 1 has a solution for them so they can continue to focus their time and energy on their business.”
PEER 1 offers a range of services, including scalable managed hosting, dedicated hosting through the ServerBeach brand, and colocation solutions.
The company has 16 state-of-the-art data centers and points-of-presence throughout North America and Europe.
Last month, the company announced it began construction on a 41,000 square foot “green” data center in the Toronto area.
