Adaptive Managed Hosting
Incorporated in 2001, Compass Informatics is a company dedicated to providing a high level of service to our customers at a competitive cost. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, Compass can provide clients with tier one data center environments that are accessible throughout the US and around the world.
If your web-based application is critical to your corporation’s success, shouldn’t it be treated just as critically by your Managed Hosting company? Compass doesn’t merely sell rack space in a data center — instead, Compass partners with you in order to make your application a success.
At Compass, we believe that there are no “one-size-fits-all” solutions. The technical staff at Compass will help you design a complete and reliable system with your corporate needs and your specific application in mind. Implementing the solution is accomplished using a simple, easy-to-understand cost structure that will allow you to plan for growth predictably!
