Leading North American Network and Committed Support Staff Ensure that Network Stays Live, Business is Not Interrupted.

Atlanta experienced a tornado and several severe storms this past weekend, PEER 1 customers experienced no difference in service. PEER 1, a leading provider of online IT infrastructure, maintained its one hundred percent uptime commitment to customers through the dedication of its staff and strategic crisis planning.

“This storm clearly shows that our customers can be secure in the knowledge that their online business will not be interrupted in the event of a natural disaster or any other crisis,” said Ted Smith, vice president of operations for PEER 1. “In this instance, our staff worked around-the-clock amidst the storm to continue to provide the service our customers have come to expect.”

With one of the industry’s largest IT infrastructure networks in North America, PEER 1 is able to avert network disruptions at any time. PEER 1 has a fully redundant network with 15 state-of-the-art data centers in 12 cities and 17 points-of-presence across North America connected together by its ultra-fast network. In the event that an area of the network is at risk, then the PEER 1 technical staff responds quickly and efficiently to seamlessly route data through another region of the network.

PEER 1 invests in the best people and decisions that will keep customers’ businesses running smoothly. Thinking from a customer point of view, PEER 1 employees are enabled with the right tools and resources to think creatively and make fast, efficient decisions for customer and network needs.

During the Atlanta storms, PEER 1 employees from other data centers in Miami, Fremont and San Antonio rallied around the crisis and stood by ready to fill in as necessary for both technical and customer service issues.

  • Congrats on weathering that serious storm and meeting the 100% SLA commitment – I’ve been eyeing Peer1 as a solution provider for a couple of smaller web properties that we are working on, and I must say I’m impressed thus far.

    Just curious, was it one of your staff that took that incredible photo of the storm?
