(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Managed dedicated hosting provider The Planet (www.theplanet.com) announced on Wednesday that it is providing hosting services for management services provider SpeedFC’s (www.speedfc.com) IT infrastructure.
The customer win follows the opening of The Planet’s new data center in London, UK, which provides tenants with geographic redundancy, enhanced performance and Gigabit connectivity.
The Dallas-based SpeedFC provides customers with a range of end-to-end solutions, including fulfillment, customer care, web development, web hosting and web marketing.
The company also works with their customers’ creative departments and agencies to integrate their existing brand identities into a consistent online presence.
Since its inception in 2000, SpeedFC has significantly grown, along with the services it provides.
The company says it eventually realized it had to add hosting services that could support the company’s rapid expansion.
According to John DeCaprio, president of SpeedFC Interactive, the company evaluated a number of companies before choosing to go with The Planet.
Speed FC attributes The Planet’s “enterprise-quality network and IT infrastructure,” as reason for choosing the dedicated managed hosting provider’s services.
“As more companies evaluate their IT cap-ex spending, IT infrastructure hosting provides a compelling alternative to the do-it-yourself, go-it-alone approach,” says Steve Kahan, vice president of marketing and product management for The Planet. “With a world-class network, enterprise-quality SAS70 Type-II data centers, and around-the-clock support, customers can add servers to their IT infrastructure often in just an hour. In the event of a business spike – or adding new customers to their portfolios – they must take quick action to capture opportunities, which is one of the many benefits of doing business with The Planet.”
The Planet showcases SpeedFC in a new customer testimonial video, featuring DeCaprio, which can be found on The Planet website.
In January, The Planet posted another customer testimonial video that features Panacore CEO Perry Berryhill.
