Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service at Ultraspeed

Monday, May 17th, 2010

3PAR announced that leading UK managed hosting provider and 3PAR Cloud-Agile partner Ultraspeed has deployed the 3PAR InServ F-Class Storage Server in its new carbon-neutral datacenter in Amsterdam.  So what does this mean for cloud hosting recovery? It means that there will be a robust cloud-based disaster recovery for all your cloud files.  This cloud recovery can all be done remote and is very easy to do.

“The efficiency and cost advantages of our 3PAR infrastructure have helped us maintain a competitive edge by becoming the only European managed hosting provider to offer off-country replication as a standard element of our Diskless hosting service,” said Jordan Gross, CEO at Ultraspeed. “We chose 3PAR again because it was the only storage platform with the backup and disaster recovery capabilities we needed to expand our disaster recovery services.”

“Ultraspeed delivers enterprise-class hosted storage solutions to mid-sized organizations exceedingly well,” said David Scott, President and CEO of 3PAR. “3PAR has long been the ‘go-to’ provider for public cloud deployments. The agility and cost efficiency that 3PAR has brought to Ultraspeed’s Diskless platform is an excellent example of how a best-of-breed approach to storage has enabled service providers of all types and sizes to deploy an enterprise-class infrastructure that meets customer needs flexibly and responsively at a much lower cost than is generally associated with legacy storage.”

Cloud Acceleration to Speed Application Performance Across the Internet

Monday, May 17th, 2010

Cloud Leverage today announces the availability of its Cloud Acceleration solution that provides the global infrastructure needed by all enterprises to increase revenue through improved Internet application reliability and performance.

“Dynamic content and media are pushing the limits of the Internet, which was originally designed for research, not performance,” said Jonathan Hoppe, Cloud Leverage’s president and CTO. “Today, businesses of any size need to leverage the Internet’s efficiencies for a wide variety of uses — VoIP, e-commerce, SaaS, interactive e-learning, live broadcasts, secure operational and financial transactions, and the list goes on. All of this requires dynamic, interactive content to be delivered efficiently, securely and quickly because customers will abandon poorly performing online sites and applications. That simply equates to lost revenues — no matter the industry or type of business.”

Marketwire stated “Cloud Leverage Cloud Acceleration offers greater performance benefits than typical Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). The solution does not rely on edge caching to improve application response time across the Internet. Edge caching is only effective for entire objects that can be stored close to the user but falls short with dynamic or live content. Cloud Leverage’s solution quantifiably boosts the performance of any website, as well as applications such as: e-commerce, SaaS, VoIP, CIFS, interactive marketing, e-learning, rich media, video conferencing, online television, and content aggregation.”

Who is Cloud.com?

Monday, May 17th, 2010

VMOps is rebranding itself as Cloud.Com.  The two year old cloud software company decided to brand the new name and new strategy strategy three months after the company closed an $11 million financing round headed by Index Ventures.

Cloud.com plans to let Web hosts and other service providers sell clouds under the new buzzword Infrastructure As A Service (IAAS), also letting companies define resources as clouds in the cloud.

Here’s a question? How much did cloud.com cost? I find it very hard to believe a URL like cloud.com was just sitting at Network Solutions for so long not doing anything. I personally thing that having Cloud.com on your business card is much better than having VMOps on it, what do you think?
