PowerTech Information Systems Reviews

Founded in 1993 by a group of teenagers in Oslo, Norway, PowerTech Information Systems AS was a pioneering Internet Service Provider (ISP), initially bringing commercial internet access to the private market. The company soon shifted its focus to serve the corporate market, primarily in the Oslo and Akershus regions. Over the years, PowerTech established itself as a significant provider of communication services, specializing in internet access (including fiber, SHDSL, VDSL, ADSL), web hosting, and colocation services within its secure data center featuring industry-standard racks and high-speed connectivity up to 10 Gbit/s. Their web hosting catered to businesses needing reliable server space, offering features like CGI script access, email addresses, statistics, and .no domain registration/transfer. Additional services included VPNs, centralized firewalls, and spam filters. Although specific hosting plan details like disk space weren't publicly listed, they offered service availability guarantees ranging from 99% to 99.99%. PowerTech was known for its early contribution to Norway's internet landscape and its dedicated focus on business clients needing robust connectivity and hosting solutions. The company was acquired by Broadnet (now GlobalConnect) in February 2016.
