(Ann Arbor, MI—November 19, 2007) Online Tech is pleased to announce receipt of the 2007 Fast Track Award.  The Fast Track Award is a program of Ann Arbor Spark presented annually to fast-growth companies that are headquartered in Washtenaw County and achieve average growth of 20 percent for the past three years.

The growth of the internet and all things digital creates demand for IT infrastructure such as data centers, networks, servers and storage that are highly reliable and scalable. Online Tech is a leading provider of infrastructure for high-availability hosting or disaster recovery.

Online Tech’s customers represent some of the areas best and brightest new and even traditional companies. “It’s simple. Smart companies know their data is as valuable as money. They keep their money in the bank and so they know to keep their data in a data center” says Ty Myers, Vice President of Sales.

The plethora of new technology and bio-tech startups has created significant demand for outsourced infrastructure. Online Tech calls this infrastructure as a service.  “These early stage, well funded companies, know to focus capital and resources on core competencies. Online Tech allows them to purchase infrastructure as a service enabling them to grow faster with less” says Yan Ness, President and CEO.

To support its growth, Online Tech recently acquired a new data center in Michigan in Avis Farms, a prestigious technology park south of Ann Arbor.  The new data center complements Online Tech’s redundant high-fiber network of data centers dispersed across two power grids across Michigan.  Online Tech anticipates growing demand for data center infrastructure driven by Michigan’s transition to a new economy.
