Our Customers Say
Athens
Athens chose TierPoint and APSU first and foremost for their ability to host our IBM iSeries. APSU’s unique partnership with IBM put them at the top of the list for us. Additionally, we needed a better solution for hosting our other servers and wanted to migrate to a cloud based solution, this is where TierPoint came in. TierPoint’s facility is by far the most secure and reliable in the area and that, coupled with their management and hosting services, made TierPoint our top choice for our other hosting needs. The Tierpoint/APSU partnership fit Athens specific needs perfectly and having them host our business systems has proven to be an prudent decision.
