PORTLAND, Ore. and BOULDER, Colo., November 11, 2015 - Peak Hosting, the leading provider of Operations-as-a-ServiceSM (OaaS) managed hosting and SolidFire, the #1 Solid-State Array, today jointly announced that Peak Hosting has deployed SolidFire’s all-flash, scale-out storage to provide guaranteed high-performance to its customers. The addition of SolidFire’s storage platform to Peak Hosting’s next-generation data center infrastructure offers customers the simplicity, speed, scalability, reliability and guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) they require. SolidFire’s high IOPS, low-latency and high-performance throughput enable Peak Hosting to meet the variable performance requirements of its mixed-workload environment.

In addition, SolidFire’s integrated volume-level QoS capabilities allow Peak Hosting to ensure fast and predictable performance for critical customer workloads and eliminate noisy-neighbor issues. Using SolidFire, Peak Hosting can also increase its operational efficiency by consolidating mixed workloads on a single storage platform while maintaining a price point that is competitive with traditional storage solutions.

“Peak Hosting’s customers are fast-moving leaders in their fields who are embracing innovation in their hosting environments,” said Stuart Oliver, global service provider programs manager at SolidFire. “By deploying an all-flash architecture Fueled By SolidFire, Peak Hosting can deliver true performance guarantees of dedicated storage with the economics of a shared infrastructure and help its customers to transition to the Next Generation Data Center.”
