Company Background

ServerVault’s goal has never been to become the largest hosting firm, but the most secure. Our growth has been carefully measured to ensure continuous security and reliability for our existing clients and partners. This approach comes from a philosophy that places a premium on expertise, intelligence and sound processes.

As a result of ServerVault’s deeply focused model, the company has engineered a secure physical, logical and procedural environment that would be difficult to replicate, based on the capital investment required, and—perhaps more challenging and time-consuming—the best practices that must be developed over several years of continuous real-world testing, tuning and updating by dedicated, seasoned experts.

History

ServerVault is an independent, privately held company that was founded in 1999 with the vision of raising the security level on the Internet. Understanding that the Internet was not initially designed to transmit sensitive or mission-critical information, the concept for ServerVault was born with the intent of creating a more secure environment than that which was previously available under the original TCP/IP infrastructure.

Our proof of concept was replicating the network security features implemented by the Pentagon. Today, we remain focused on providing our customers with the highest levels of security and reliability with our fully managed solutions.

Financial Profile

ServerVault is wholly owned by affiliates of the Western & Southern Financial Group, including the Western and Southern Life Insurance Company and private equity funds managed by Fort Washington Capital Partners Group.
