Being recognized by Gartner in the managed hosting sector provides great reassurance to our existing and future customers.”

The March 5, 2012 report, Gartner analysts, Ted Chamberlin and Lydia Leong state, “The most heavily weighted criteria for a hoster’s ability to execute are service offering and service excellence, as reflected in the customer experience with sales, support and operations. The report is focused on the enterprise-class, managed hosting market, regardless of whether the hosting is done on physical servers or a virtualized infrastructure.” The report analyzes managed dedicated hosting, managed utility hosting, managed cloud hosting, and managed hybrid hosting.

Additionally, the report continues, “Overall business viability, as reflected in the ability to successfully service a customer over a three-year period without significant disruption, and the service provider’s track record also contribute to this rating. Here, we emphasize immediate capabilities for the use cases that we see most often.”
