SoftLayer Becomes Exclusive Datacenter Solution to EIRCA Ltd; Announces Managed H-Sphere Partnership
2008-04-21
April 21, 2008, Dallas, TX – SoftLayer has formed a long-term partnership
with EIRCA Ltd. as the company’s exclusive dedicated server provider. EIRCA’s
existing servers will migrate to SoftLayer facilities, where all new servers
will be deployed as well. The partnership also makes EIRCA the SoftLayer
preferred partner for customers deploying managed H-Sphere Clusters.
Simon O’Rourke, EIRCA founder and CEO, said, “We searched for a data center
provider that shares our philosophy towards customer service, with an
infrastructure we can deliver to our customers with 100% confidence. After
testing multiple providers over several years, we found SoftLayer to be the
best.”
Lance Crosby, SoftLayer CEO, added, “EIRCA has been a great partner over the
last few months. Formalizing our relationship was a natural next step.”
EIRCA currently serves over 105,000 domains and has supported H-Sphere clusters
for international customers since 2002. It leverages SoftLayer’s leading
network-within-a-network topology for secure and fast data movement between
H-Sphere servers residing in all of SoftLayer’s data centers.
H-Sphere, now owned by Parallels, is a scalable automation control panel for
multi-server web hosting services and powers over approximately 1.7 million
websites. "H-Sphere allows clients to create a reliable hosting infrastructure
for their clients," said Kurt Daniel, senior vice president of marketing and
online, Parallels. "We will continue to work with Softlayer [and EIRCA] to
provide new features and product improvements for all Parallels products,
including those recently acquired."
EIRCA joins the growing list of resellers, hosting companies, and managed
services providers that are leveraging the world-class infrastructure that
SoftLayer has invested in over the last several years. “We see a tremendous
opportunity, as our model of on-demand IT adds even more value to our partners’
core businesses,” continued Mr. Crosby.
