ReliaCloud Cloud Computing Service Launched By VISI

Web hosting Blog - MINNEAPOLIS - VISI, a leading data center services and managed hosting provider, today announced its entry into the public cloud computing services business with the launch of the public beta of its ReliaCloud™ service.

“After many months of preparation, we’re proud to take the covers off a cloud computing service we specifically designed to be more reliable than the commodity providers in the market,” said Jason Baker, CTO of VISI. “We didn’t want customers to have to re-architect their solutions just to work reliably in the cloud. We knew they wanted enterprise-grade security and peace of mind.”

Baker said other goals in designing the service were elasticity and affordability. “We wanted customers to be able to scale from 10 servers to 100 servers, and back down again. And we wanted them to have the option of doing this programmatically via an API.” On the final goal, affordability, Baker said, “We made our pricing transparent. What you get for our competitive price – starting at 5 cents per server hour – is a slick web management portal, high availability, load balancing, 24×7x365 support, and a complete API.”

The service is targeted both to IT managers in established, small to midsized firms, and to startup firms that want to take advantage of the significant economic benefits provided by running their servers and applications in the cloud.

“Though there are some large players already in the public cloud computing marketplace, it is still a nascent business, and a rapidly growing one. And there is certainly room for a competitive offering such as ReliaCloud,” said Antonio Piraino, Research Director at Tier 1 Research. His firm has projected that cloud computing services will cross the $1 billion dollar market in 2011.

Business users are invited to apply to be beta testers for the ReliaCloud service by filling out a one-page form at www.reliacloud.com. “Once registered, you can start experiencing pay-as-you-grow, highly available, elastic, enterprise-grade cloud services right away,” said VISI’s Baker.

Rackspace Cloud and FathomDB Join Forces to Streamline Database Management

Web hosting Blog - SAN ANTONIO – The Rackspace® Cloud, the cloud computing division of Rackspace hosting (NYSE:RAX), today announced the latest addition to Rackspace’s popular Cloud Tools ecosystem. FathomDB, a leader in Database-as-a-Service (DaaS), enables businesses and developers to easily manage their MySQL databases in the cloud. Now built on The Rackspace Cloud’s open, standards-based API, FathomDB provides a seamless database management experience that leverages Cloud Servers and frees users from time-consuming system administration tasks.

FathomDB helped launch the DaaS industry by offering an interactive user interface and analytics engine to support relational databases in the Cloud – initially just using Amazon EC2 and S3, but now by also leveraging The Rackspace Cloud portfolio. Handling many arduous but necessary steps required to run databases, FathomDB offers a range of time-saving features, including automated backups and routine maintenance tasks, powerful analytic tools, real-time monitoring and performance graphs for optimizing code, and easy point-and-click configuration.

FathomDB chose to become a strategic partner with The Rackspace Cloud because of its reputation for Fanatical Support®, its standards-based and open approach to cloud computing, and its focus on simplifying technology.

"Because we’ve always strived to take the pain out of running databases, The Rackspace Cloud was a natural choice for us to team up with. We share the same philosophy of openness and are united in the goal of making cloud computing easy," said Justin Santa Barabara, CEO, FathomDB. "By joining their burgeoning ecosystem, we not only attract new customers through their Cloud Tools website, but we become a part of The Rackspace Cloud family."

“Ensuring that our cloud is reliable and scalable, and delivering a Fanatical Support experience to our customers and partners are primary objectives for us. We support strategic partnerships because they extend the power of our cloud offerings. By working together with FathomDB, as well as the Cassandra open source project, we are simplifying the challenging nature of scaling databases in the cloud. It is through transparent relationships like these that we can solve many customer needs; meanwhile our competitors are trying to solve these problems alone.”

FathomDB was featured as one of VentureBeat’s list of “Ten Y Combinator companies that want to revolutionize social networking, search, databases and anything else you can think of.” The San Francisco-based company is the latest addition to Rackspace’s Cloud Tools ecosystem. Developers can run databases on The Rackspace Cloud using FathomDB for as little as $0.02 per hour. To get started, visit the FathomDB website.

Thriving Partnership Between Node4 & RTW Hosting

Web hosting Blog - United Kingdom - RTW hosting, who have been providing businesses with a range of hosted services since 1994, first came to Node4 looking for a SIP trunking provider to dovetail into their hosted voice platform. Node4’s SIPlink service fitted the bill perfectly. The ability to provide geographic numbers and competitive call rates fitted the customer’s requirements perfectly.

Around six months after their initial SIPlink order, RTW hosting were looking for a colocation facility which could accommodate the business’s next planned phase of growth. It was at this time that Node4 were just completing the final developments on their latest data centre, DC3, in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

DC3, with space for 450 racks, was just what RTW hosting were looking for in terms of specification including, N+1 air conditioning and generators and an N+N UPS solution, cold aisle containment, up to 32amps dual feed power, and an on-site Network Operations Centre, to run their Roadtowork.com infrastructure. As a result, they placed an order for 3 full racks in DC3 with all the power they needed, moving their equipment in in September of this year. The size and young age of the facility meant that there is the option for RTW hosting to increase their colocation presence with Node4 either within DC3 or across Node4’s other data centre sites in Derby and, by late 2010, Northampton.

Mike Wills, from RTW hosting enthuses about Node4 and DC3; “Before moving to DC3, we were constantly up against restrictions on cooling and power and this was holding back growth. The DC3 data centre ticked all the boxes: The data centre provided us with the very latest security, well laid out and deep cabinets, superb cooling and all the power we needed. As a result, we have now migrated over our primary operations to DC3. With excellent response times from the support team, near immediate remote hands when needed; we have been delighted with the outcome. On the rare occasions when we need to visit site, the train has taken the strain in just a matter of a few hours. The most complicated logistic is the last mile in finding the site for the taxi driver or courier given its naturally discrete physical presence!”

Node4 and RTW hosting are set to continue their working partnership throughout 2010 with a number of new projects in the pipeline.

Shane Dove, Node4’s Sales Manager comments; “We are very pleased to have RTW hosting as a customer and as a partner, utilising our full range of products and solutions which has allowed them to make the most of the technologies available to themselves and their customers.”

CoreXchange Launches New Enterprise-Class Dallas Colocation Facility

Web hosting Blog - DALLAS - CoreXchange, the fastest growing provider of IT and network infrastructure services, announced the expansion of data center capacity with the launch of its new Dallas data center. Located at 8600 Harry Hines Boulevard, the CoreXchange Connection significantly increases the company’s data center footprint to meet a growing demand for managed colocation infrastructure from existing and new customers.

Customers at the new CoreXchange Connection facility can colocate their servers and applications with the same level of Tier-1 Internet backbone and carrier access, performance, and customer support as those customers in the CoreXchange Dallas Infomart facility. Using CoreXchange’s proprietary bandwidth Pricing Configurator tool, customers can create a network access profile that best meets their requirements from the CoreXchange multi-homed mesh of BGP-routed Tier-1 backbone carriers and cross-connects to all major carriers, including direct connect to the Dallas Equinix facility.

“Offering the highest performing network and service customization, we’ll continue to deliver the best customer solution for the best possible price,” said Julia Morgan, sales executive for CoreXchange. “And with more data center capacity and a growing list of network backbone partners, we’ll have even greater opportunity to create satisfied customers.”

Rackspace Email & Apps Division Reaches MileStone

Web hosting Blog - SAN ANTONIO - Rackspace® hosting (NYSE:RAX), the world’s leader in hosting and cloud computing, today announced its cloud based applications division, Rackspace Email & Apps, now hosts more than 1.6 million paid mailboxes across its hosted email offerings, Rackspace Email and Microsoft Exchange. New and existing customers cite best-in-class migration, Fanatical Support® and a robust email platform at an affordable price as the common reasons for choosing Rackspace.

“Businesses shouldn’t have to manage in-house email servers anymore,” said Pat Matthews, general manager, Rackspace Email & Apps. “But email is more mission critical than ever and IT managers need to partner with a company they can trust. Rackspace bridges the gap for companies that don’t want to invest in expensive on-premise systems but still need business-class email and a company that will service them when they need it. The traction we have achieved in a tough economy shows that we have been successful in bridging that gap.”

ReCourses is one such company, which turned to Rackspace after experiencing the problems of managing their own email system in-house. David Baker, founder of ReCourses, a truly global business providing consulting services to the marketing industry, was managing his own email server. But if there was a problem while he was traveling, he had no way to physically get the server back online. David made the decision to move to a hosted email solution, which provided him with the peace of mind he needed to focus on more critical aspects of his business. According to Baker, “Uptime and excellent support were very important factors in my decision. Rackspace has exceeded my expectations in those areas, which gives me confidence that I can conduct my business without worrying about risks such as an outage.”

Bundle City was using the free email service that was bundled with their web hosting package, but they were frustrated with the poor service and lack of features. As an online marketplace, Bundle City relies almost exclusively on email communications to conduct business. For them, speed and reliability of communication was especially important. “Rackspace Email offers advanced features . . . yet it’s still extremely affordable for a small business,” said Bundle City founder, Pez Elias.

Another customer, Thomas Vranas, was in search of a replacement for his company’s legacy POP email system, when he found Rackspace. “The POP email was not conducive to running a mid-sized company,” said Vranas, president of PROACT Search, a premier executive search and management consulting firm. “Things I’d taken for granted in the corporate world, like calendars, sharing, and invites, are necessities.” Rather than build an IT infrastructure from scratch, Vranas chose Rackspace Email due to its flexibility in product offerings, satisfaction-guaranteed uptime, scalability, and access to around-the-clock Fanatical Support.

Rackspace Email features spam and virus protection, a unique and easy-to-use control panel for administrators, large mailbox storage and attachment size, desktop access with Microsoft Outlook, and integration with mobile devices, all backed by Fanatical Support®. Rackspace also offers hosted Microsoft Exchange, as well as a hybrid offering of Microsoft Exchange hosting and Rackspace Email.

About Rackspace hosting
Rackspace hosting is the world’s leader in hosting and cloud computing and is ranked #43 on FORTUNE Magazine’s 100 Best Companies to work for in the United States. The company provides its customers Fanatical Support ® in their portfolio of hosted IT services, including Managed hosting, Cloud Computing and Email and Apps.
