Why Teams Switch

Your week, with and without Summit

Without Summit: A VMware renewal comes in and suddenly you’re learning what 72-core minimum billing means

Without Summit: Three vendors join the outage call, and all three provide compelling evidence that it wasn’t their fault

Without Summit: Open a ticket and hope someone gets back to you

Without Summit: Finance forwards you the AWS bill with just: “???”

Without Summit: Your $180K engineer is tracking down a replacement server

Without Summit: The migration requires six engineers, three vendors, and the only person who knows where the old DNS settings live

With Summit: Keep VMware where it earns its keep and move the rest across bare metal, cloud, GPU servers, and colocation

With Summit: Summit is accountable across the entire environment

With Summit: Call a team that knows you and your environment

With Summit: The invoice is the number you told Finance it would be

With Summit: Your $180K engineer is doing literally anything more appropriate for a $180K engineer

With Summit: Summit pilots it first, plans the rollback, and moves in phases

Hosted Infrastructure and Applications

Choose how much of your infrastructure Summit runs

Every team draws the line in a different place. Bring your own hardware and let us handle the power, cooling, and network, or hand us the whole stack, right down to the applications your people log into every morning. Wherever you start, Summit owns everything on our side of that line.
