History

The company was founded in February 1993. In 1998, Logicworks changed its focus from standard web hosting to more complex types of managed hosting. Other high points over the years included Logicworks getting the first MySQL enterprise partner designation in 2003, and expanding into private cloud hosting in 2007. The cloud focus continues through to today, starting with the Logicworks cloud in 2010 and adding another data center to bring the company up to three in 2011.[3]

Operations

Most of the company's 75 employees are full-time technicians who keep the company's hosting equipment running. In April 2011, Logicworks received $7.6 million during a venture funding round. Logicworks' cloud offerings are marketed as traditional cloud computing offers instead of remote hosting solutions.[4]
