PEER 1 Network Enterprises, Inc today announced a collaboration with InMon to provide precise bandwidth measurement and analysis capability.

PEER 1 will deploy the industry standard sFlow® network monitoring technology and InMon’s Traffic Sentinel, in all of its data centers to provide an industry leading bandwidth billing solution for its Managed Hosting customers.

Bandwidth usage is measured on a per-IP address basis, so PEER 1 is able to ignore traffic occurring inside the data center, and provide precise traffic charges to its customers in a way that is not possible through per-port or physical-layer network traffic monitoring.

For PEER 1 customers, the InMon-powered network traffic monitoring and analysis is accessible in real time through the online customer portal with customizable graphs and downloadable data.

Ted Smith, SVP of Operations at PEER 1 said: “We believe our customers should only pay for the services they use and our collaboration with InMon maximizes our network analysis and measurement capability allowing us to accurately pass on lowest cost bandwidth charges to customers. Our IP-based or layer three approach not only increases transparency and billing accuracy, it also enables our customers to accurately re-charge bandwidth usage to their own customers.”

”The unique scalability of InMon’s sFlow solution makes it the ideal choice for monitoring the fastest of data center networks,” said Peter Phaal, president of InMon Corp. “In the expert hands of the PEER 1 engineers, the detailed traffic database in the Sentinel product can be applied to a wide range of applications, from accounting and capacity planning to troubleshooting and security.”

Web hosting company based in Canada, PEER 1, has chosen Southampton as the UK headquarters for its European expansion programme. PEER 1 UK is already on an aggressive recruitment drive to find the very best technical, sales and customer service talent.

Dominic Monkhouse, UK Managing Director of PEER 1 remarked, ”If you are the most driven, ambitious, enthused, charming and downright brilliant candidate out there, we’ll give you a great job in a cool office, pay you a good salary, and give you endless self-development opportunities. We get IT at PEER 1. PEER 1 is the Number One web hosting provider in Canada and we’re now on a mission to be Number One in the UK. We’re hell-bent on being the best B2B services company in any sector. For that reason I am offering any new employee �1000 cash to leave in the first two weeks. This way only those employees who really get it, who are thoroughly and wholeheartedly committed to raising the standards in hosting and service to the highest level will stay.”

The company is offering to pay all successful new employees 1,000 pounds if they give up their jobs in the first two weeks. The initiative is designed to ensure that PEER 1 only employs those who are fully committed to delivering outstanding customer service.

The company will run ‘Cock-up of the Month,’ which will be an opportunity to learn from and celebrate mistakes, as well as having PlayStations in the office and ”Beer O’Clock” at 4pm on Friday to let off steam.

Jimmy Chestnutt, Director General of the Southampton and Fareham Chamber of Commerce and Industry added, ”This is good news for Southampton and the city region. Peer 1 operates in a very competitive sector and it is encouraging that they have chosen Southampton as the place in which to set up their UK Headquarters. The South East region has very ambitious plans for growth and when based in Southampton PEER 1 will be well placed to play a part in helping businesses achieve that growth. PEER 1 seems determined to recruit a high quality well motivated workforce and the job description makes it clear that it will be an exciting place to work.
