Web Hosting News – Denver, Colorado – Peak® (formerly PeakColo), an enterprise-class IaaS Cloud provider for channel partners, today announces it has secured $4 million in new financing from its current investment group, Meritage Funds and Sweetwater Capital. The funding will help support key partnerships including a recently announced agreement with Telx, provider of global interconnectivity and datacenter solutions. The funding will also support Peak’s continued explosive demand for cloud computing services due to its unique channel-centric sales and service model.

With cloud nodes located in eight geographies across the United States and Europe including Silicon Valley, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, New Jersey, New York, Atlanta, and the United Kingdom, Peak is able to address a wide range of services including disaster recovery, production workloads, storage and backup in the cloud. Leveraging Peak’s 100% uptime SLA as well as its dedicated compute and storage resources, clients can easily access Peak’s cloud nodes from their office locations, data centers or even other clouds via its patented Layer 2 Direct Connect services, a unique option allowing easy migration to its cloud computing and specialized application environments.
