Mountain Media, a website development firm, has expanded to provide fully redundant data centers with near-instantaneous connections and automatic switchover services.
According to the company, the expansion assures clients’ ecommerce and other mission-critical applications remain accessible in power failures or other disasters.
The firm, which recently moved its offices to 1252 Saratoga Road, Ballston Spa, from Saratoga Springs, took in a capital partner to assist in developing the data center. Working with Kincaid Network Solutions, Mountain Media now offers what it calls “one of the best-connected and most-scalable web hosting environments on the Eastern Seaboard.”
“We have a long history of working collaboratively with Kincaid Network Solutions and its founder, Bob Priest,” said Mountain Media President and CEO James Curley. “We’re pleased to work with Kincaid as we move our hosting capabilities to the next level for mid-tier ecommerce and business application websites.”
He said expanding Mountain Media’s data center further helps clients handle complex IT requirements, including security compliance for HIPAA, PCI DSS and other programs.
Priest, founder of Kincaid Network Solutions, said Mountain Media “has been a leader in digital marketing and web development for years. We are pleased to be a part of this work, and we see a lot of benefits for both Mountain Media and Kincaid.”
Bob Belber, SMG’s regional general manager, and the Times Union Arena’s general manager, commended Mountain Media’s focus on keeping his sites up and running.
“The Times Union Center’s website comes under significant demand during performances and when tickets go on sale for big concerts and sporting events. Mountain Media has done an excellent job ensuring our site’s availability, performance and security,” he said.
Founded in 1998 to meet the growing demand for website design and development from mid-tier businesses, the company’s services include customizable ecommerce products and services, including its own proprietary ecommerce management platform, Mountain Media. The firm offers a full complement of commercial web services, including search engine marketing,
