PEER 1 Hosting, the global IT hosting provider, will present next week at HostingCon in Austin, TX. PEER 1 Hosting Senior Vice President of Business Development Robert Miggins will lead the presentation, Addressing Big Data Needs Outside the Cloud, on Wednesday, June 19th from 10:00-10:45 a.m. local time.

As big data continues to grow at unprecedented rates, many businesses are struggling to keep up with the resulting storage and data management requirements. However, with the growing capabilities and control of off-premise dedicated servers that can mimic the positive qualities of the cloud, such as scalability and agility, data-reliant organizations can easily outsource data management and processing to a third-party hosting provider. As a result, these companies are able to focus solely on their core business and not on their IT delivery model, while still achieving control, flexibility, reliability and cost efficiency.

"Many of our customers that originally bet big on cloud computing are now realizing the benefits of an IT footprint that also incorporates hosted bare metal servers," said Miggins. "Cloud computing has the potential to deliver strong performance metrics and significant cost savings, but it is not the only option for outsourced data management. Plus, with recent improvements to bare metal servers that can mimic the scalability and elasticity of cloud computing, a dedicated environment is a good alternative to the cloud for some organizations."
