Desktop Alert Chooses IRONColo Datacenter for Co-Location Services

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Desktop Alert Inc. (http://www.desktopalert.net), a leading solutions provider for alert notification software, has selected IronColo (http://www.ironcolo.com), a leading provider of complete and customized Internet infrastructure solutions to provide data center facilities and logistics for the Desktop Alert Notification platform. The multi-year agreement calls for IronColo to provide server co-location and management services. "By utilizing the expertise of IronColo along with their customizable solutions and always-on service we can continue to seamlessly roll out web based applications to our constantly expanding client base," said Howard Ryan, Founder of Desktop Alert Inc. "We made the decision to outsource and needed to find a provider with a proven track record for reliability and 24/7 capabilities. After several months of testing IronColo was the only firm that consistently provided immediate, personalized and highly technical assistance among our test candidates. We did not want the typical data center support experience that includes helpdesk incident tickets. Our clients demand immediate assistance and reliable service so the choice was made to contract with IronColo. As an integral part of our application hosting solution, IronColo is as much a partner as a provider, and the excellent working relationship we have developed with them has a key part of this deal," added Ryan.

The Desktop Alert Inc. and IronColo relationship will permit Desktop Alert to offer customers a cost effective and highly secure and scalable hosted software solution.

"We are very pleased to have been selected by Desktop Alert Inc. as their Internet service provider of choice," said Michael Imbruce, speaking for IronColo. "Application availability and data security are essential elements of e-business. IronColo data centers provide the foundation services necessary for sound system, security and network architecture. This begins with comprehensive physical safeguards, multilayer network security, redundant systems, and best practice implementations. A range of IronColo managed services including firewall, data backup and availability monitoring offer complete the comprehensive solution focused offerings. "

"Forming this type of relationship with a rising star such as Desktop Alert is an essential part of our own growth strategy, and we are excited to play our role in this future success story" added Imbruce.
