January 31, 2007 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Dedicated server provider ServePath (servepath.com) announced on Tuesday that boutique hotel company Joie de Vivre Hospitality (jdvhospitality.com) has chosen ServePath for hosting, colocation and consulting services. Joie de Vivre Hospitality selected ServePath based on the company’s ability to design and deliver a scalable and secure managed colocation solution to capture day-to-day accounting data, critical to operating its more than 30 locations.
Joie de Vivre Hospitality, which currently operates 30 hotels and eight restaurants, was looking for a highly customized solution to address its complex requirements. This included building a robust, scalable architecture that would offer a stable foundation for integrating each of its hotels and restaurants into a centrally controlled and secure environment.
In addition to providing colocation and network services, ServePath implemented a redundant failover network and architecture. This included integrating its network connection at ServePath with the company’s virtual private network, which is distributed to each hotel and restaurant location. ServePath’s solution also provides security for Joie de Vivre Hospitality’s data as well as its physical equipment, which is located in ServePath’s San Francisco data center.
“ServePath won out over some large competitors based on its ability to put together a unique, multifaceted solution,” says Michael Stano, director of IT for Joie de Vivre Hospitality. “In addition to providing hosting, colocation and specialized applications for us, they’re also serving as the project manager. We don’t have to worry about any of the details, because ServePath is handling the entire project, while keeping our budgetary concerns in mind.”
