Cloud Hosting Article

As the cloud continues to get more attention for its ability to support low cost applications and streamlined business operations, cloud hosting is also gaining more attention. This increase in demand is contributing to the growing number of opportunities for vendors with the right solutions. Datapipe (News - Alert) is staking its claim, earning a place on CRN’s Fast Growth 150 List.

The global provider of cloud hosting services has officially announced its placement on the 2013 CRN Fast Growth 150 list, an annual compilation of the fastest-growing solution providers within the technology industry. Rankings are determined according to sales growth from fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2012.

During that timeframe, Datapipe enjoyed 63 percent growth and has demonstrated a consistent record of positive increases in revenue year over year. On this most recent list, its third consecutive year, the company placed #89. This growth was spurred on with the help of an acquisition of the cloud optimization startup, Newvem. Datapipe also expanded its global reach through the development of data center facilities in both Iceland and Ashburn, Virginia.

“Despite the challenges of an evolving market, these Fast Growth companies demonstrate an unmatched ability to nimbly and effectively respond to market demands, fulfill customer needs and remain steadfast in their commitment to innovation,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, CRN, in a statement. “We are thrilled to shine a spotlight on the successful companies that keep the channel top of mind and serve as an example for the rest of the market.”

This success reinforces the growing demand for proven solution providers able to respond to the growing need for cloud hosting. Companies are under increased pressure to do more with less as far as technology is concerned, driving the increased demand for cloud-based solutions. Those vendors able to deliver on the needs of these organizations with agile, flexible and secure solutions are dominating the market.

Much of Datapipe’s success is its ability to respond to the demand for innovation while still respecting the perceived challenges of migrating to the cloud. Companies throughout the global marketplace still perceive the cloud as a risky area for data, information sharing and even promotion. With education and the right tools, these perceptions are overcome and Datapipe customers experience the benefits the cloud was designed to deliver.

The fact that the company earned placement on CRN’s list for the third consecutive year is a testament to its commitment to excellence in the industry and the continued growth in the demand for its cloud hosting solutions.
