Nov. 14, 2002 -- Regional data center services provider Peak 10 Technology Gateways has entered the Raleigh, N.C. market with the acquisition of a former Interpath Communications data center, the company said today.
The Research Triangle area will be the fourth market for Peak 10, which is based in Charlotte and also has data centers in Tampa and Jacksonville, Fla. Peak 10 said it expects to announce a fifth market in the second quarter of 2003.
The Raleigh center is a 23,000 square foot facility, featuring an 11,965 square foot data center. Peak 10 will use the site to offer a range of services including managed hosting, storage, security and disaster recovery solutions.
“We have carefully planned our launch in the RTP from acquiring a signature facility to hiring a high caliber management team,“ said Peak 10’s President David Jones. “We’re looking forward to delivering a higher level of service and performance to Raleigh businesses.”
Peak 10 said it has hired a veteran local management team led by Vice President and General Manager, Ben Griffith.
Founded in March 2000 by telecom veterans Jones and Nicholas Kottyan, Peak 10 has pursued a controlled growth strategy in expanding its presence in the Southeast. The company's clients include Wachovia, Allstate, Jefferson Pilot Communications, Hawaiian Tropic, and Wellman.
