Why True Native Hybrid CloudTM is the practical choice for your business
Multi-site vs single datacenter—meeting real-world needs
Despite media evangelism for multi-site cloud deployments, many CIOs and CTOs are now realizing it’s an
unnecessary and expensive over-complication for them. They recognize that their business operations are
regionally well concentrated enough that they can be served perfectly well from a single high-performance
datacenter with adequate connectivity. While this might not be right for truly global brands such as
Facebook, or organizations where international operations are critically time-sensitive like banks, it’s often
the most practical solution for many businesses, small and large.
High performance True Native Hybrid Cloud
The Peer 1 On Demand Cloud PlatformTM was purpose built for cloud server hosting, featuring strong
security around its perimeter, high performance networking between its components, and a staggering
10Gbps onward connectivity. Customers are able to provision complex solutions for themselves through
an easy-to-use, centralized control panel, and comprehensive back-end automation helps ensure
rapid deployment.
