Hosted RT
We've partnered with Gossamer Host to provide a managed hosting platform for Request Tracker. Gossamer has been developing applications in Perl since 1995. The Gossamer staff has developed a fast and powerful platform to run RT and know how to keep RT running well for you - they've been using it themselves since 2001.
Key Features of Hosted RT with Gossamer Host:
Performance - Gossamer's servers were developed and built by Perl developers. They have years of experience running demanding Perl applications, and have mod_perl setup the way it should be. They will keep your RT installation running smoothly.
Managed Service - All of Gossamer's plans are on fully managed servers that include regular updates, security patches, and 24x7x365 monitoring. Not only is the server monitored, but they will monitor at the application level to ensure RT is running properly.
Single Point of Support - If anything is wrong with your RT installation, whether it is hardware or software, Gossamer will take care of it immediately. Their staff are also experts in Perl, and are available for enhancements and customization of RT.
Scalable - Gossamer can upgrade or downgrade your RT installation seamlessly, letting it grow as your needs grow.
Full Access to Source - You will have full access to the source of your RT installation, as well as full access to your RT mod_perl server and SQL database.
