For over 10 years, Carbon60 has hosted some of the world’s hottest web properties. We are passionate about what we do and we list some of Canada’s largest media companies – such as Rogers Media and PostMedia – as our clients. Large media companies are very web-savvy and have hundreds of very high-profile web properties supporting tens of millions of dollars per day in revenue. They demand the very best in reliability, performance, and security and they need a partner to move at the same fast pace they do, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without compromising their quality of service.
Carbon60 delivers this and more in three ways:
- Through an advanced hosting platform
- Through responsive and expert technical support; and
- By offering more value than alternative solutions
First, let’s look at Carbon60’s hosting platform.
The days of throwing up a domain and pointing it to an IP-address and some hardware are over. Today, there is a right and wrong way to deliver business-critical web properties and too often we see companies adopting the wrong way and suffering the consequences. You need a true, global delivery platform optimized for your application and content.
Carbon60 spends millions-of-dollars on technology and services each year to build and maintain one the world’s most capable web site delivery platforms. This platform combines the strengths of an enterprise-class cloud computing architecture with a vastly scalable and robust global edge content delivery and security system.
Production network, compute, storage, and caching resources are allocated dynamically to each site on our cloud computing architecture to ensure maximum performance and reliability. Carbon60 also provides utility development and testing environments on a per day or per month basis to keep costs to a minimum and our performance and security testing services ensure your site is optimized for our production platform.
A critical feature of Carbon60′s hosting platform is that your source web servers are NEVER publicly accessible. Rather we mask your source web servers behind sophisticated caching algorithms and a secure network of tens of thousands of edge servers distributed around the world. So, while delivering content faster and more reliably to end users, our platform makes your site virtually impervious to both welcome traffic spikes and unwelcome denial of service attacks which plague the Internet and can cripple your online business.
Another key feature of our hosting platform is the visibility it provides into end-user experience. Unless your hosting platform accounts for actual end-user experience over the Internet’s “middle-mile”, your quality of service metrics (and any accompanying Service Level Agreement) are largely meaningless. This is why, for every site on our hosting platform, we provide a web dashboard with detailed end-user performance and availability metrics from dozens of strategic checkpoints around the world.
The second reason media companies partner with Carbon60 is the quality of our technical support. Day-in and day-out it is our expert technical support teams that make the real difference for our customers. Our hosting service is a fully managed solution that covers all aspects of service delivery through the entire IT lifecycle. And we also back up our words with meaningful quality of service guarantees based on actual end-user experience. Our comprehensive technical support model is built on ITIL-best practices: the standard for enterprise IT Service Management. While you drive the service strategy related to your web properties, we take responsibility for everything related to service delivery.
The result …
- Increased reliability and predictability in IT outcomes
- Greater visibility and control over delivery of mission-critical IT services.
- Improved transparency into IT costs and quality of service metrics
- Better alignment between IT and business objectives
Our team of hosting professionals will be a true partner, 24×7 supporting your business needs.
Finally, Carbon60 not only does it better than anyone else, it delivers more value than anyone else delivering enterprise-class hosting services. By leveraging our hosting services, you get a comprehensive solution that takes the pain out of content delivery. From industry-leading Service Level Agreements to out-of-the-box compliance with key security certifications like SSAE 16 and PCI-DSS, Carbon60 delivers maximum value to our customers. At the same time, we will eliminate your ongoing capital costs and reduce the total cost of ownership related to the delivery of your business-critical web properties.
