Benshaw
Benshaw was looking to consolidate their infrastructure from two locations — their server room and warehouse — to one off-site location. With worldwide manufacturing facilities, downtime would significantly impact their business on a global scale. Benshaw hired a consulting firm to assist them in identifying a colocation and disaster recovery partner that could accommodate their IT infrastructure and provide the bandwidth they needed.

Peoples Natural Gas
The new Peoples was created in February of 2010 when SteelRiver Infrastructure Partners of San Francisco bought the gas distribution company from Dominion Resources. Upon separating from Dominion's IT infrastructure, Peoples carefully weighed their options to build a complete IT infrastructure of their own. They wanted as little downtime as possible during the transition and wanted to work with a local service provider.

Four Rivers Software Systems
Four Rivers had been growing steadily for 16 years when, in 2006, they recognized their install base was beginning to push the limits of their hosting strategy. "We were outgrowing our hosted servers," says Justin Lauck, Software Engineer and IS Specialist. "We were spending thousands of dollars a month and eventually reached the point where it was more cost-effective to switch to colocation."
