With a reputation for high quality and innovative work, Sky Rock needed to find a secure and resilient back-end service provider to ensure the integrity of its front-end concept and design.

“We chose Globix as our complex hosting provider because we needed to guarantee our clients a secure, fast and reliable e-commerce environment,” says Sky Rock Managing Director, Dominic Elson.

Globix offered Sky Rock a resilient complex hosting solution within one of its secure London Internet data centres, from which Sky Rock hosts its clients’ content. While Sky Rock manages its own servers and has 24×7 access to its equipment, it also uses Globix Complex Hosting Services for monitoring, OS system support, and on-site support. Globix also provides a firewall and backup service. Sky Rock has a burstable bandwidth option, so if traffic to any one of its clients’ sites spikes, Sky Rock will be covered.

“The Globix Internet data centres are the kind of places you can take clients to,” Elson says, adding that for many of his clients, Web hosting and management is an intangible, something difficult to grasp. “When you show them the diesel engines for backup power, that impresses them. It makes the security issues of Web hosting more real.”

“The Internet infrastructure has to handle a lot of simultaneous transactions. Dedicated bandwidth is key, and that’s what Globix provides,” Elson says.
