PEER 1 Cloud Services Storm Ahead Offering Customers Flexible, On-Demand Storage Resources

PEER 1 will offer customers a network accessible, data storage service in the first half of 2010. This enhances PEER 1s existing cloud offerings, which today include; SaaSGrid, its software-as-a-service enabler and the CloudXcelerator Program for cloud innovators.

PEER 1 selected EMC Atmos as its foundation because the technology uniquely provides a policy driven infrastructure that is capable of managing and distributing petabytes of information globally. In addition, it offers standard web service APIs and provides simple migration across all Atmos-based clouds.

PEER 1 is initially deploying EMC Atmos technology in its Atlanta and San Antonio data centers. Its cloud infrastructure will enable instant access to information across distributed geographies and efficiently deliver content and information services over the Web. PEER 1 will incorporate EMC Atmos within its 10GB SuperNetworkTM in 2010 to increase overall storage capacity and geographic footprint for customers. In addition to PEER 1s managed hosting customers, the service will also be available to dedicated hosting customers of ServerBeach.
