Savvis Symphony launched earlier today with the release of Savvis Symphony Virtual Private Data Center (VPDC), a new cloud computing offering from Savvis, Inc. that provides clients with 100 percent enterprise-class cloud.

Savvis Symphony offers fully managed hosting services on top of fully managed, enterprise-class infrastructure. The Savvis Symphony suite of cloud services includes:

  • Savvis Symphony VPDC and Savvis Symphony Open – both public cloud services – which offer differentiated service levels with predictable performance for scenarios ranging from development and testing of new applications to automated capacity increases due to seasonality or unforeseen demand for IT resources
  • Savvis Symphony Dedicated – a private cloud service – which allows clients to tailor and scale their dedicated infrastructure at their own pace.

“An enterprise-class VPDC can be configured and deployed in about an hour from anywhere in the world, whereas it often takes up to 90 days to provision physical servers and build out the operating systems using typical IT processes,” said Bryan Doerr, chief technology officer at Savvis.

, , , ,

OpSource announced that Datamation.com recently recognized the company as one of the top ten cloud computing “leaders to watch” in a list which also included IBM, AT&T, and Cisco. Leaders were chosen based on objective criteria, including customer traction, experience and market cap or financing, as well as subjective criteria, such as ability to innovate, ease of use, and how well cloud offerings integrate with the company’s broader portfolio. The top ten cloud providers doesn’t come easy.

OpSource has been helping several smaller businesses with their cloud servers and IaaS. “We believe that more than half of Infrastructure-as-a-Service will eventually be sold through channels and solution providers,” said Treb Ryan, CEO, OpSource. “We are gratified that a leading publication like Datamation.com has confidence in our vision for this future, and we thank them for this recognition.”

They also have helped several larger customers such as Adobe, SAP, Taleo and Xactly, this also helped OpSource be recognized as a leader because of its unique position as the “go-to ‘cloud operations’ provider.”

In 2009, the company introduced OpSource Cloud, a cloud service for companies requiring pay-as-you-go flexibility and 100% availability as well as high security and control.
