Technology Leader Protects Customers as they Work Out of Secure Facility in
Aftermath of Storm
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (September 24, 2008) ? In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike,
Peak 10, Inc., the leading independent data center operator and managed services
provider, provided available space in its Louisville data center facility so
customers, who use the 24x7 data center to keep their mission critical business
applications up and running, could house their employees and continue providing
services to their clients without interruption. At one point, several hundred
Peak 10 customers were working out of the state-of-the-art data center. Due to
the impact of Hurricane Ike to the Louisville region, many businesses have been
out of power at their locations for days. Peak 10 Louisville?s data centers have
been up and running and our engineers and support teams have been helping our
clients continue to stay operational.
?Without Peak 10?s around-the-clock support, our company could not have operated
at full capacity over the last four to five business days,? said Jonathan Cape,
chief operating officer of VMS, a Peak 10 customer. ?Peak 10 always goes above
and beyond and they have treated our employees as though they were their own. It
is at times like these when you are rewarded for selecting the highest quality
business partners and that is certainly how we feel about Peak 10.?
In addition to providing disaster recovery support prior to Hurricane Ike?s
impact, Peak 10 set up temporary work areas and helped its customers with
business continuity services immediately after the storm moved through the
Greater Louisville region.
?I have been genuinely impressed by the clear, concise, timely and informative
communications from the Peak 10 team, not only over the last several days, but
also over the duration of our relationship,? said Paul Dolegowski, vice
president and director of CRM and interactive technologies at Brown-Forman.
?While Brown-Forman was not affected by Hurricane Ike, it is comforting to know
that the Peak 10 team has the caliber and professionalism to do their job with
the customer base in mind. The value and satisfaction we receive from their
exemplary technical services and support is beyond measure.?
?Hurricane Ike made it more than clear that even the Ohio Valley and Midwest are
not safe from a hurricane?s reach and resulting destruction,? said Dave Vrona,
vice president and general manager of Peak 10 Louisville. ?The recent
devastation is clear proof that companies can and should be prepared for
unforeseen natural disasters.?
