We are happy to announce that we’ve partnered with InMon, the leading traffic monitoring solution for high-speed networks, to provide precise bandwidth measurement and analysis capability to our Managed Hosting customers.
We will deploy the industry standard sFlow® network monitoring technology and InMon’s Traffic Sentinel, in all of our data centers to provide an industry leading bandwidth billing solution for Managed Hosting customers.
Bandwidth usage is measured on a per-IP address basis, so we are able to ignore traffic occurring inside the data center, and provide precise traffic charges to our customers in a way that is not possible through per-port or physical-layer network traffic monitoring.
For PEER 1 customers, the InMon-powered network traffic monitoring and analysis is accessible in real time through the online customer portal with customizable graphs and downloadable data.

After delays caused by a five week Toronto City strike we are making great progress. We have completed over 60% of removing the old roofing, re-sloping, and applying a new roof on the building utilizing “Cool Roof” technology for energy efficiency. Construction has also begun in the equipment yard to prepare the ground for the foundations of the mechanical and generator buildings. Inside the building we have finished demolition of existing areas that we would not utilize. We are re-utilizing as much as possible from the demolition for our new build out to minimize waste and also recycling as much as possible.

We’ve just announced a partnership in which PEER 1 will provide integrated IT-compliant intrusion detection and log management services for its e-commerce customers using Alert Logic’s cloud-based IT compliance and security solutions.
PEER 1’s numerous customers operating transactional, credit-card based e-Commerce businesses are required to comply with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), the worldwide security standard designed to help control and prevent online credit card fraud. By partnering with Alert Logic, PEER 1 can ensure IT compliance for Managed Hosting customers as an additional service, without the customer having to invest in security infrastructure or monitoring resources.
Tim Varma, Director of Product Management at PEER 1 commented: “Offering on-demand intrusion detection security and continuous threat monitoring takes away the headaches of compliance for our customers. Through our partnership with Alert Logic, business customers can now benefit from a convenient, compliant and affordable end-to-end security solution that allows them to focus on their business with the peace of mind that their IT solutions are actively being monitored by security experts.”
Alert Logic will provide its Threat Manager and Log Manager solutions to address intrusion detection, vulnerability scanning and log management requirements within PCI DSS. PEER 1 Managed Hosting customers will have access to Alert Logic’s world-class web-based management portal for easy visibility to issues that could impact the security or compliance status of their IT assets. Through the dashboard interface, customers can view incoming data and traffic analysis from vulnerability scanning, as well as monitoring of traffic and threats inside the firewall.
