Waveform
Technology is now offering two months free server colocation for
unemployed workers who want to start or expand a business.
With
the unemployment rate in Michigan continuing to rise, there are
plenty of smart, talented individuals from information technology
who are now out of a job. Waveform Technology is encouraging those
people to take their great Internet start up ideas and form new
companies to rebuild Michigan’s economy.
Waveform’s
Data Center, located in Troy Michigan, is now accepting servers
for colocation through the new Start program. With Start, new
companies can bring servers online quickly and have no worries
about data center fees for the first two months.
Parishpilot.com
will be the first organization to take advantage of Waveform’s
Start program. Parishpilot.com provides low cost Internet services
to Detroit churches, including websites and E-mail. “I'm
tired of jobs leaving Michigan,” said Bill Wilson, who founded
parishpilot.com after twelve years in the information technology
industry. “I'm going to become part of the solution and
start something that can help Michigan grow. I'm proud to join
forces with Waveform on this.”
Data
centers are where start ups begin. Flexibility and reliability
are always important when selecting a data center, but cost is
also key for new businesses. With Start, Waveform Technology will
provide trusted colocation for start ups and a helping hand in
tough economic times.
Colocation
is the hosting of user owned servers in a data center to take
advantage of superior Internet connections and other support systems
such as backup power. Colocation is excellent for developing start
ups because they have complete control over their machine, there
is no sharing of server resources or conforming to the provider’s
preferred software installations.
Participants
are eligible as long as they can provide proof of unemployment.
Interested parties should contact Waveform Technology through
