TAMPA, Fla. — Peak 10, Inc., the Southeast’s leading data center solutions provider, announced today it has added Clearwater, Fla.-based eMASON to its diverse portfolio of customers. Peak 10 will provide eMASON with colocation and a full suite of managed services including security, monitoring and storage out of its state-of-the-art data center in Tampa, Fla.

eMASON provides businesses with systems that deliver Internet applications through networked services. The company recently launched Law Firm Manager, an integrated practice management system for the legal industry. eMASON’s decision to move its technology infrastructure to Peak 10 is proof that the outsourcing of critical hosting and managed services is of value to high growth, entrepreneurial companies.

“We design our products to drive business process improvements and growth for our customers,” said Jane Mason, president of eMASON. “Peak 10 is doing the same for eMASON by enabling us to focus on new product development and customer needs instead of managing our internal technology infrastructure.”

eMASON is also partnering with Peak 10 to offer its customers a comprehensive disaster recovery solution. Through Peak 10, eMASON can protect the important data and mission critical business applications of its growing customer-base from network emergencies and unpredictable disasters. Peak 10’s Tampa data center offers multiple levels of security, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), diesel generators, redundant HVAC systems, and fire suppression, as well as 24 X 7 monitoring and management.

“We’re delighted to have eMASON as part of the Peak 10 family and look forward to playing an active role in their growth,” said David Jones, president and chief executive officer of Peak 10. “eMASON is an excellent example of how outsourcing IT infrastructure management can become a driver for long-term success by freeing critical internal resources to focus on growing the business.”
