HorizonIQ Review: Infrastructure as a Service Built for the Future

HorizonIQ, a rebrand emerging from the legacy of Internap and SingleHop, has quickly positioned itself as a high-performance Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider with an enterprise-grade portfolio. With over two decades of combined experience, the company has sharpened its focus on delivering scalable cloud, bare metal, and GPU-based solutions tailored for data-intensive industries such as AI, healthcare, finance, and research.
What distinguishes HorizonIQ is not only its technical breadth but also a clear dedication to uptime, flexibility, and security, backed by a rare 100% uptime SLA and fully managed single-tenant architecture.

Origins and Evolution

HorizonIQ is the outcome of a strategic consolidation of two former infrastructure leaders:

• Internap (INAP), known for its high-performance networking and route optimization.
• SingleHop, which specialized in automation-driven managed hosting and cloud services.

The merger of these platforms created a foundation for HorizonIQ’s current capabilities—combining carrier-grade networking with fully customizable infrastructure, ideal for mid-sized enterprises and growing tech businesses.

Core Pillars

HorizonIQ defines its approach around three guiding principles:

• Reliability: A no-compromise stance on uptime, powered by redundant systems and proactive support.
• Flexibility: Infrastructure that adapts to evolving workloads and unique business requirements, avoiding lock-in.
• Empathy: A partnership-driven philosophy that aims to understand and support client goals through tailored solutions.

These aren't just marketing terms—the company’s offerings and structure reflect a strong alignment with businesses that need performance and support without sacrificing control.

Service Portfolio

1. Bare Metal Servers

HorizonIQ’s bare metal offerings are designed for users who need raw, uncompromised compute power:

• Basic Tier: Entry-level servers for smaller businesses or standard web hosting.
• Advanced Tier: Optimized for large data sets, backups, and enterprise platforms.
• Ultimate Tier: High-performance hardware built for AI, scientific modeling, and compute-heavy applications.

Included Features:

• Single-tenant environment, no virtualization overhead.
• Full OS-level access.
• IPv4/IPv6 support.
• 24/7/365 expert support.
• Compass Portal for real-time monitoring and console access.

Bare metal is further enhanced with optional services such as load balancing, firewalls, backups, and DDoS mitigation, making it a robust solution for complex deployments.

2. GPU Infrastructure

Designed for AI, ML, deep learning, scientific research, and graphical workloads, HorizonIQ offers powerful NVIDIA GPU servers across three tiers:

• NVIDIA H100: Ideal for training LLMs and HPC workloads.
• NVIDIA A100: Balanced for AI training, data analytics, and medical imaging.
• NVIDIA L40S: Versatile GPU suited for inference, rendering, and video encoding.

These are true single-tenant GPU environments, built to eliminate "noisy neighbor" problems and offer predictable monthly pricing, which is increasingly attractive for organizations seeking consistency and budget control compared to the usage-based cost spikes seen with public cloud providers.

3. Managed Private Cloud

Using VMware or Proxmox, HorizonIQ builds dedicated cloud environments for clients needing control and compliance:

• 100% dedicated resources.
• Fully managed setup, patching, monitoring, and operations.
• Access to vCenter or Proxmox interfaces.
• Seamless integration with their broader ecosystem of storage, security, and networking.

This offering is ideal for organizations moving away from public cloud models due to concerns over performance variability or data sovereignty.

Supporting Infrastructure

Storage Solutions

• Block Storage: Flash-based, low-latency storage built for databases and VM environments. Available in dedicated or multi-tenant options.
• Object Storage: Designed for unstructured data like backups, ML datasets, or multimedia libraries. Powered by NVMe and offered in scalable tiers with flat-rate pricing.

Backup & Recovery

• Supports on-site and geo-redundant backups (Chicago or Phoenix).
• Adheres to the 3-2-1 backup principle.
• Fully managed, with options for DR replication.

Network Tools

• Load Balancers: Intelligent L4–L7 balancing, with auto-scaling and failover routing.
• Firewall & DDoS Mitigation: Fully managed with DPI and real-time defense against Layer 3/4/7 attacks.
• Connectivity: Redundant uplinks, peering options, and bandwidth predictability.

Enterprise Features and Advantages

Compass Portal

A centralized control panel providing API access, usage analytics, and console management. This empowers IT teams to oversee performance, costs, and deployments in real time.

Compliance

Built for industries where regulatory standards matter:

• HIPAA
• SOC 2
• PCI DSS
• ISO 27001 (in progress)

HorizonIQ's single-tenant model enhances compliance potential and isolates workloads for greater security.

Global Data Center Presence

With nine regional locations including Chicago, Phoenix, New Jersey, Seattle, London, Singapore, and Amsterdam, HorizonIQ ensures low latency and geographic redundancy for global deployments.

Pros

• Single-tenant design eliminates noisy neighbors.
• 100% uptime SLA, rare in the industry.
• Hardware customization down to CPU, RAM, and GPU level.
• Predictable billing—a significant edge over usage-based pricing.
• Comprehensive ecosystem of hosting, cloud, storage, and security under one provider.

Cons

• Hardware pricing not fully transparent for full configurations (e.g., GPUs priced separately from servers).
• Less beginner-friendly than mainstream IaaS providers; more suited to businesses with in-house technical teams.
• Limited public cloud-like automation—this is not AWS or GCP in terms of self-service scale-out capabilities.
