Posted by Webhost - 27/05/09 at 09:05 pm

The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting, has announced that SpeedFC, Inc. (http://www.speedfc.com) has tapped the company to provide hosting services for its IT infrastructure. Headquartered in Dallas, SPEED FC is a single-source provider of business-to-business and direct-to-consumer customized, integrated and outsourced transaction management services for both traditional and e-commerce retailers. SPEED FC clients number some of the most highly regarded, well-known brands in the country.

SPEED FC provides customers with a suite of end-to-end solutions, including fulfillment, customer care, Web development, Web hosting and Web marketing. Clients can select either a complete, turnkey solution, or choose from its broad portfolio of services. The company also works with their clients’ creative departments and agencies to integrate their existing brand identities into a consistent online presence.

“As our business has evolved and we’ve expanded the services we provide, we recognized that the timing was right to add hosting services that could support our rapid expansion,” said John DeCaprio, president of Speed FC Interactive. “When we began adding mid- and large-cap companies to our portfolio, they wanted to know we had the right technologies and fail safes in place to manage their operations. We evaluated a number of companies, knowing it was critical to have a partner that could scale with us, no matter the size of the client we brought to the table. The Planet provides us with an enterprise-quality network and IT infrastructure, which allows us to focus on our customers and the core competencies we provide.”

“As more companies evaluate their IT cap-ex spending, IT infrastructure hosting provides a compelling alternative to the do-it-yourself, go-it-alone approach,” said Steve Kahan, vice president of marketing and product management for The Planet. “With a world-class network, enterprise-quality SAS70 Type-II data centers, and around-the-clock support, customers can add servers to their IT infrastructure often in just an hour. In the event of a business spike — or adding new customers to their portfolios — they must take quick action to capture opportunities, which is one of the many benefits of doing business with The Planet.”
