San Antonio, Texas - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - July 2, 2008 - Web hosting services provider, Rackspace Managed Hosting, has entered into an agreement with The SCOOTER Store power chair supplier, as the web hosting company for its website.

Rackspace hosts thescooterstore.com, a key source for new business opportunities and lead referrals. Uptime is essential for The SCOOTER Store as a means for customers to shop online and communicate directly with The SCOOTER Store’s mobility consultants.

Jay Greene, Senior Vice-President of Information Technology, The SCOOTER Store noted, ”Before moving our infrastructure to Rackspace, The SCOOTER Store held everything in-house, and the redundancy we needed just wasn’t there. We had a fiber cut and our website was down for several hours. When the website is down, our business suffers. Since moving our infrastructure to Rackspace, we have improved the system performance by 100 percent. By shielding ourselves from a single point of failure, we have the redundancy, reliability and most important, the support to have our website optimized 24/7.”

The SCOOTER Store takes advantage of Rackspace’s Intensive Hosting for Enterprise Microsoft offering, relying on an advanced configuration architected for high-availability and full redundancy. Running Windows Server 2003 on multiple HP ProLiant DL385 enterprise servers, The SCOOTER Store configuration includes a dedicated direct attached storage (DAS) solution and managed backup, all monitored 24/7 by Rackspace technicians.
