AttainResponse partners with the company to host its IT infrastructure.

The Planet, a privately held dedicated hosting company, yesterday announced AttainResponse, a provider of content delivery applications, has chosen the company to host its IT infrastructure. The company states that headquartered in Erie, Colo., AttainResponse develops and manages content delivery applications, including text and video e-mail, e-mail marketing and streaming video hosting. It articulates that the AttainResponse web-based applications are unified into a single platform known as ComF5, which allows customers to combine core services such as business e-mail hosting and e-mail marketing with visual communications, including video, audio communications, images and other content. ComF5 also offers customers an industry-leading online video and publishing platform.

The company further states that this new approach to unified communications and video commerce allows businesses to increase response rates for outbound marketing and affiliate programs, at the same time providing a lower cost of ownership for business e-mail and e-mail marketing. It explains that the geographically redundant infrastructure includes private racks, load balancers, gigabit switches and private networks in multiple data centers located in both Houston and Dallas. The company also takes advantage of Advanced Services that provide additional monitoring capabilities for their servers.

"Companies in every corner of the world rely on their Web presence and IT infrastructures for driving business, and we are seeing even more decide to unshackle the chains and move to a hosted environment," said Tom Blair, Vice President of global sales with The Planet. "Our network, data centers and around-the-clock support deliver a world-class experience and peace of mind. The unparalleled value of reliability - and the ability to scale by adding new servers in hours rather than in days or weeks - means companies can be more flexible and nimble as they grow."

"Our infrastructure is complex and must be fast, reliable and scalable to meet the demands of our broad and dispersed customer base," said Wade Weston, CEO and Founder of AttainResponse. "We evaluated ten companies to host our infrastructure, and The Planet understood exactly what we needed. They worked hand-in-hand with us to design the core systems, backend network and redundancy that are critical to our business."

"I don't want the headaches of managing IT, so I rely on The Planet. That's their business, and it's what they do well. Since I've turned over my infrastructure and have been able to focus on my customers, we've grown substantially. I can sleep at night, knowing I'm in good hands with my IT operations managed around the clock," concluded Weston.
