4. When is it right to bring Peak in?
Anytime! Even after a company has made a technology
decision, Peak will gladly audit that strategy, at no cost, to
make sure it is the best possible decision.
Peak’s an engineering company, that happens to have a huge
datacenter / managed hosting inventory. Not the other way
around. Peak can help any early, middle, and late stage
venture backed companies
After a company is beyond prototyping with EC2/S3, Peak grows
with them from managed hosting, to raw collocation as staff is
hired, all the while leveraging our consulting team’s expertise.
Our Motto is, “We help you avoid making expensive mistakes.”
