The Pinnacle Group Picks Peak Cloud to Power Managed Service Offerings

MSP, The Pinnacle Group, has chosen Peak’s cloud platform to power their managed service offerings for U.S. medium-sized businesses. The service provider is using Peak’s offering as the foundation for their storage and infrastructure services and has entered into a long-term cloud partnership with the IaaS cloud provider.

The Peak cloud platform will be used to power a variety of Pinnacle’s managed service offerings like data protection, disaster recovery, monitoring and hosted cloud services. The MSP’s customers will gain access to Peak’s on-demand storage, network and cloud computing resources through the partnership.

Last month, Pinnacle launched its Total-IT Managed Services division providing cloud-based computing and storage services as well as management and monitoring tools, data backup and business continuity and disaster recovery planning. The goal of the division is to help customers achieve operational efficiencies, drive business growth and reduce their time to market. The new partnership with Peak will further that goal, benefiting both Pinnacle and their clients.

"Tried and true, Peak is the best at what they do," said Ray Sage, director of managed services for The Pinnacle Group. "Peak's philosophy is solving business problems. We do business in the same manner; with the same ideas of putting the customer first, delivering exceptional service and custom-tailored solutions."

For Peak, the partnership adds to a year of expansive growth, with the company rapidly expanding and steadily adding new partners and resellers to its portfolio. In January, Peak received $4 million in funding for expansion and support of key channel partnerships. The company formally expanded its cloud channel program soon after, providing three channel program tiers to partners.
