Pro-Teck Services, a Waltham, Mass.-based provider of residential property valuation and risk management, has formed an agreement with Rackspace, a provider of hosted IT services. Pro-Teck says it utilizes Rackspace's Intensive Hosting to support the company's ProValue platform, which requires 24/7 availability to service today's rapidly evolving financial markets.
Pro-Teck's ProValue connects many of the world's largest financial institutions with the real estate data, modeling and expertise they need to effectively manage their real estate collateral. The system requires robust performance to support a large number of simultaneous connections as vendor and client partners throughout the U.S. process thousands of daily transactions in real time. The platform also provides extensive archiving, retrieval and data stream capabilities critical to its client's business operations.
‘Because Pro-Teck's IT infrastructure was Microsoft-based, they found Rackspace's Windows expertise and Microsoft Gold Certification a true advantage,’ says Glenn Reinus, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Rackspace. ‘Intensive Hosting takes a consultative approach with our enterprise customers.’
Rackspace's Intensive Hosting provides Pro-Teck with a fully managed hosting solution. With primary and failover server locations, advanced custom monitoring services, managed backup and storage, and Windows 2003 Enterprise database services, Pro-Teck relies on Rackspace's 24/7/365 Fanatical Support demanded by today's financial markets, the companies note.
