We made a decision a decade ago to use an ENTERPRISE class data center to host our photo commerce service. Rackspace, our partner for over ten years, is widely considered to be a PREMIER solution provider and has delivered extraordinarily high uptime for our mission critical application, PhotoCentral.
We have since formed partnerships with other premier providers: Amazon S3 for flexible, reliable photo storage, and MediaTemple for superior WordPress hosting services.
We know that our competitors have chosen to partner with lower cost data centers and service providers. This may allow them to charge less for they services. But we know it translates to a lower QOS (quality of service).
We are proud of our reliability and uptime. And we won’t EVER lower our standards.
That’s just how we roll.
