"With our diverse array of customers, we required a provider that could manage our needs, yet gave us the flexibility to personalize our servers the way we wanted," explained Tag1’s CEO, Jeremy Andrews. "Although BlackMesh maintains our data center system administration, we have the latitude to tweak the system as necessary. As a growing organization, Tag1 Consulting looks to BlackMesh to provide daily support for our internal networks, allowing us to focus on our customers."
Tag1 Consulting provides consulting to “organizations and individuals looking to improve the scalability and performance of their websites” and delivers “expertise in Linux, Drupal and the entire LAMP stack to ensure reliability so that websites can maintain their performance as visits increase”. Tag1’s AdBard.net is an advertising network that aims to foster a “friendly and useful advertising community” for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) oriented websites and advertisers. AdBard has grown “from 10 sites and 40,000 monthly ad impressions” to over “100 sites with more than 25 million monthly ad impressions”. BlackMesh will support the initiative by providing its unlimited service plan and “day-to-day server maintenance” to allow Tag1 to “focus on its core business objectives”.
"Tag1 understood the need to outsource their day-to-day server management, which would allow them to focus on building customer relationships," said Eric Mandel, CEO of BlackMesh. "As Tag1 Consulting's managed hosting and managed services provider, BlackMesh is dedicated to delivering the around-the-clock support and functionality necessary to maintain the organization's IT infrastructure, so that they can concentrate on providing customers with leading Web site performance and scalability services."
