Today Peak announces that its renowned cloud computing platform is serving as the foundation for DirectBuy, an exclusive, national furniture showroom. Through its 100% channel focused model, Peak enables service providers such a Komodo Cloud to white-label Peak’s cloud and offers their own robust cloud practice for end-user clients.
True to Peak’s unique channel model, Komodo Cloud’s expert team in turn helped DirectBuy migrate from a traditional colocation environment to a 100% cloud operation, allowing DirectBuy greater control and elasticity for its hundreds of franchisee and franchise owners. In doing so, DirectBuy realized $3.6M in CAPEX avoidance and a 100% reduction in infrastructure related problem tickets in less than six months. As a 43-year old company representing over 700 manufacturers, 100 franchise locations and one million products, DirectBuy’s core business relies heavily on its ecommerce web site. 
DirectBuy has realized numerous benefits by placing its production workloads in Komodo Cloud, powered by Peak, including:
- $3.6M reduction in IT operating expenses
- 5x improvement on website responsiveness and performance
- Establishment of best practices to use across each department
- Instant 40% reduction in IT costs
- 100% reduction in infrastructure problem tickets, thus improving customer experiences
- 80% reduction in time to market, which drastically increases business agility
- Achievement of PCI compliance
“Serving such a wide variety of agents, resellers, distributors and VARs, Peak manages cloud infrastructure in eight geographies – ensuring a 100% available platform atop which partners layer their unique services,” says Luke Norris, CEO and Founder of Peak. “With Peak managing the platform, partners are free to focus on their core business. Technically astute partners such as Komodo leverage our capabilities where they are needed, complimenting their core expertise. Our close collaboration ensures that Komodo’s customer issues are resolved and improvements are made throughout many levels of their clients’ organizations.”
