Peak is an enterprise-class Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud service provider to channel partners. White-labeling Peak’s cloud services as their own, resellers and agents rapidly enter the cloud marketplace under their own brand without capital expenditure, enjoying a faster route to profitability. With Type II SSAE 16 and SOC 1 & 2 compliant data centers in six geographies across the United States and in Europe (Seattle, Denver, Chicago, New Jersey, New York, and the United Kingdom), Peak offers a cloud environment that contains tens of thousands of virtual machines and multiple petabytes of storage for public, private, hybrid and disaster recovery solutions. Peak is VMware vCloud® Powered and is a Platinum-level NetApp service provider.
Established in 2006, Peak began and continues its focus on the Infrastructure-as-a-Service slice of cloud computing, with a 100% focus on the channel. Headquartered in the Denver metropolitan area, Peak is privately owned and well-capitalized. This has allowed us to expand cloud nodes and deploy solutions consistently and in accordance with the highest standards in the IT arena.
Our full scale, enterprise-class cloud solutions are delivered out of our Denver, Seattle, New Jersey, New York, Chicago, and UK data centers. Peak began specializing in high bandwidth and local access solutions as an enablement for our customers to take advantage of Infrastructure-as-a-Service solutions. Through our partnerships with super-regional data centers and our laser focus on delivering flexible Infrastructure-as-a-Service solutions, we are poised perfectly to offer unique pricing and services.
Our successes are directly built on and tied to our customer’s success!
Differentiators
With the Cloud Computing market becoming so saturated with numerous different cloud service providers and solutions, Peak felt it necessary to clearly communicate their differentiators so that their clients have a clear understanding of why a potential client would choose Peak:
- Own your customer relationships. We are the ONLY 100% channel-centric company in the marketplace. QUOTE: Structure Research Hot Topic Report Excerpt March 22, 2103: “100% wholesale specialists are far and few between. Our survey results show that only a single provider – PeakColo – focuses exclusively on the channel while not competing in the cloud hosting market on a retail basis. To be sure, there are a few providers trending to having more of a channel focus…However, all of them are still involved with selling directly to customers in some fashion.”
- No Lock-In: Peak believes that clients should be able to choose their technology stack and maintain customer relationships. From hypervisors to security to backup, Peak purposely remains flexible so partners can layer their cloud-enabled offerings as-is, atop Peak’s cloud. Peak chooses to offer Tier II customer support, allowing white label partners to preserve their customer relationships. However, if needed, 24×7 on-call Tier I support for partners is available.
- Cost Effective Layer 2 Direct Connect: Peak is focused on leveraging its unique position on-NET with every Tier 1 and Tier 2 carrier in the world to ensure their clients access the Peak Cloud at LAN pipe speeds as cost effectively as possible. Unlike other cloud services providers, Peak’s patent-pending layer 2 TRILL-based topology allows partners to bring their IP schema and routing policies as-is, without change or unnecessary complexity. Direct Connect eliminates the need for a layer 3 topology all-together.
- Bleeding edge. Peak’s infrastructure is built for scalability and optimized for re-labeling. In fact, we can build a single virtual machine with 64 Cores, 1TB RAM, 100,000 IOPs. We provide the aggregated performance that only an infrastructure of our magnitude can provide. Leveraging hardened, bleeding edge technologies maximizes operational efficiencies for partners:
- NetApp Clustered DataONTAP and StorageGRID
- Brocade TRILL-based technologies
- Cisco FlexPod-as-a-Service
- RiverMeadow cloud migration services
