Golden Corral Signs Multi-Year Agreement with Hosted Solutions

Hosted Solutions is to provide the stable environment needed for Golden Corral's Mission Critical applications

Raleigh, NC — July 25, 2005

Hosted Solutions, the Carolina's leading data center and web hosting company, has just announced a new contract with Golden Corral - the Raleigh based leader in family-style restaurants. The multi-year agreement calls for Hosted Solutions to provide colocation services.

“By utilizing Hosted Solutions' expertise along with their customizable solutions and always-on service we can continue to roll out web based applications to our many restaurants,” comments Don Clark, VP of Information Technology at Golden Corral. “We made the decision to outsource and needed to find a provider with a proven track record for reliability and 24/7 capabilities. We looked at several other data centers, but felt that local presence, top-notch facilities and great technical talent made Hosted Solutions the right choice for us.”

“Golden Corral is a name synonymous with quality and great customer service. This new relationship further emphasizes how it is not just tech based companies that rely on our services. Adding them to our client base validates our straightforward business strategy to provide all companies with important internet enabled components, a customized and scalable solution to their colocation and hosting needs,” says Hosted Solutions CEO, Rich Lee.
