Hosting.com Presents Cloud Computing Solution at Gartner's Data Center Conference -- Announces General Availability for CloudNine
2008-12-06
Hosting.com Announces That Its Cloud Computing Solution Has Moved From Beta
to Production and Is Available for Purchase
Dec 04, 2008 - (Louisville, KY) Hosting.com, the first name in global
hosting solutions and services, today announced the general availability of
CloudNine -- a hosted cloud computing environment that provides intuitive,
scalable business solutions at Gartner's 2008 Data Center Conference. CloudNine
production solutions are immediately available for beta users, clients and
prospects. Hosting.com is continuing to allow companies to participate in the
ongoing CloudNine Beta at no charge for 90 days.
This fall has included a series of events leading to the announcement on
CloudNine's general availability. In September 2008, Hosting.com showcased
CloudNine at VMware's VMworld 2008. Today, Jonathan Erwin, Hosting.com EVP
CloudNine Sales and Marketing co-presented at the Gartner Data Center Conference
with Paul Hettesheimer of Radware (RDWR:6.66, -0.09, -1.3%) , on "Business-Smart
Optimization for Virtualized and Cloud Computing Environments."
"After months of collecting and acting upon client feedback, developing an
intuitive and interactive client portal, and working with world-class
manufacturers to guarantee the security, redundancy and availability of our
cloud computing solution we are pleased that we have beta users waiting to sign
the paperwork to purchase the solution today," noted Erwin.
The city of Louisville has worked closely with CapitalSouth over the past two
years to encourage local mezzanine investments in Louisville-based companies.
Louisville, KY Mayor Jerry Abramson stated, ?We are very pleased that our 2-year
effort to attract a top mezzanine debt firm to Louisville played a role in
making this exciting expansion by Hosting.com possible.?
CloudNine solutions will start at $75 per month and will scale based on business
need and demand. Key components of CloudNine include: root access to private and
secure virtual servers, self-serve web-based Customer Portal, hosting in our
fully redundant and geographically-dispersed data centers, and guaranteed 100%
uptime and 24/7 support. Hosting.com has provided companies with single-tenant
cloud computing environments since early 2007.
CloudNine is built on the most complete standards-based architecture utilizing
world-class technologies from providers such as VMware, Radware, HP, Fortinet,
Cisco, IBM and others guaranteeing reliability and security. Hosting.com's
internal developers and solution architects worked closely with these
manufacturers and others to stretch the boundaries of virtualization and provide
a client-centric, easy-to-use cloud computing platform.
Hosting.com cites the recent downturn in the economy as a reason to continue
expansion and growth into new markets at this time. ?We are receiving more calls
from enterprises looking to save capital and improve their operational
efficiencies by avoiding data center builds and turning to experienced providers
such as Hosting.com for increased services,? commented Jonathan Erwin, VP of
Sales and Marketing at Hosting.com.
Many enterprise companies and those in the SMB space are searching for
opportunities to partially move their hosted infrastructure into a
cloud-platform while others are looking to completely move to a cloud computing
infrastructure to capitalize on the advantages and reduced costs cloud computing
provides. Hosting.com developed CloudNine with these requirements in mind and is
therefore able to offer an innovate solution that provides flexibility and
scalability in a controlled and secure environment.
Companies that sign up for the ongoing Beta will receive a production-ready
virtual machine in CloudNine that is scalable, flexible and efficient. The
CloudNine Beta is free for 90 days, and can seamlessly transition into larger,
complex hosted solutions during or after the Beta. Register for the CloudNine
Beta at www.hosting.com/cloud.
