About Stack41

When low-latency, reliability and expertise matter – you can count on Stack41 Data Center Services.

Forward Thinking

It’s not enough to offer generic cloud services. If your IT team needs non-traditional services in the future such as Restful APIs or Key Value Storage as a Service, or any of THESE other services, can your cloud vendor help you design and implement the right solution for your needs?

Cloud Services

It’s fair to say that “the cloud” is just someone else’s computer. The most important things to consider though are the network design to reach it, the hardware design that runs the applications and whether the chosen cloud is affordable. It’s simple if you really know how.

Open Source Software

We are experts in open source software for the Enterprise. It delivers secure and sophisticated solutions for any application while drastically reducing costs. open source does not lock its users into proprietary platforms, and easily inter-works with other business software.

Customer Centric

Our customers are pretty important to us. Without them we don’t have a business, so we try our best to take care of them. We’d be happy to let you talk to them about whether they are happy with our services.

Upgrade from a “vendor” to a “partner”

We all know that talk is cheap. And network and database problems are not! If your current provider has promised “great” things – but is simply a “great” pain-in-the-rear, with slow performance and non-existent service, please connect with us. We have several customers who used to feel that way about their data center service as a service (DCaaS) arrangement.

Stack41 approaches all client relationships as partnerships. We tailor solutions for a specific application using our own tools, and other tools (like the public cloud), if they are appropriate. One size never does fit all, especially when it comes to your business.

We’re approachable, responsive and knowledgeable. You’ll always know where to find us if you need help, and can rely on our always doing the right thing for your business, not just ours.
