Feb. 06, 2010 - ColocationMarketPlace.com announces their launch as the official Market Place for Colocation Buyers and Sellers. "With an initial launch of 60 plus requests for colocation ranging from 1U of space up to Full Cages and Suites, we foresee this marketplace to be a great avenue for people to find the perfect colocation solution, speak directly with Colo Providers, all in one unique location." Ted Persky, CEO ColocationMarketPlace.com

Datacenters and Colocation Providers can also get more exposure by joining the community and listing thier facilities and specifications in the Directory.

One of the most unique features about the community is the ability to get bids and quotes on colocation back very quickly from within the community. This has always been an issue while trying to find colocation in the past because of the tedious, task of contacting multiple providers, getting bids, negotiating back and forth, and finally choosing a provider, all the while, getting multiple calls from sales people from all the different vendors.

ColocationMarketPlace.com is also looking to enable Virtual Tours of Datacenters as their next feature coming up on the site.

(The Hosting News) – IBM ( IBM) today announced the opening of a new data center designed to support new compute models like cloud computing, in order to help clients from around the world operate smarter businesses, organizations and cities.

The new data center reduces technology infrastructure costs and complexity for clients while improving quality and speeding the deployment of services – using only half the energy required of a similar facility its size. The data center will ultimately total 100,000 square feet at IBM’s Research Triangle Park (RTP) campus and is part of a $362 million investment by the corporation to build the new data center in North Carolina. IBM owns or operates more than 450 data centers worldwide.

Data centers are the backbone of information technology (IT) infrastructure delivery for businesses and other organizations, with powerful servers and storage systems running business-critical technology including software applications, email and web sites. IBM has engineered the data center to help its clients use new Internet technologies and services to meet the business challenges of an environment marked by an exponential rise in computational power, a proliferation of connected devices and an imperative to manage energy costs.

The data center uses advanced software virtualization technologies that enable access to information and services from any device with extremely high levels of availability and quality of experience.  The facility aggressively conserves energy resources; saving cost and speeding services deployment through a smart management approach that links equipment, building systems and data center operations.

“I thank IBM for its continued commitment to North Carolina. This facility promises to be one of IBM’s greenest data centers in the world, proving once again that green is gold for North Carolina,” Gov. Bev Perdue said. “Growing North Carolina’s green economy plays a critical role in my mission to create jobs and to ensure our state’s economy is poised to be globally competitive in the long term.”

The data center is showcasing a cloud computing solution in partnership with North Carolina Central University (NCCU) and NC State University that enables Hillside New Tech High School students in Durham, NC to access educational materials and software applications for the classroom over the Internet from the high school’s computer lab, as well as from any networked device.  This means that the learning environment can be extended to nearly any place at any time without the restrictions many schools face such as limited support, hardware resources and lack of access. The Hillside outreach project with NCCU, using cloud computing as a vehicle in support of education, is one of several such K-12 projects that IBM supports. The new data center also currently hosts IBM’s global web site, ibm.com, and the IT operations of strategic outsourcing clients such as the United States Golf Association (USGA).

“Data centers have always been a critical part of IBM’s global technology services – and they will be even more important as the processes, infrastructure, and systems that define business today become increasingly connected and intelligent,” said Pat Kerin, general manager, IBM North America.  “This new facility not only sets new standards for energy efficiency, but provides the flexible capacity that allows IBM to deliver services that enable clients to reduce costs, improve productivity, and gain competitive advantage in their markets.”

Alex Withers, managing director of Digital Media for the United States Golf Association, said, “The migration of our USOPEN.com operations to IBM’s new data center in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina reduced our energy consumption by 38 percent and floor space requirements by 54 percent. We count on IBM to deliver a cost effective, reliable and scalable hosting environment that supports the presentation of our world-class championships to players and fans.”

Key attributes of the new data center include:

* Smarter data center management: Thousands of sensors, connecting IT equipment, data center and building automation systems, provide data that can be analyzed to plan future capacity planning, conserve energy and maintain operations in the event of a power outage.
* Energy efficiency: The data center uses half the energy cost to operate compared to data centers of similar size by taking advantage of free cooling – using the outside air to cool the data center.  Intelligent systems use sensors to continuously read temperature and relative humidity throughout the data center and dynamically adjust cooling in response to changes in demand.
* Cloud computing capability: Support for cloud computing workloads allow clients to use only the resources necessary to support their IT operations at any given moment – eliminating the need for up to 70 percent of the hardware resource that might have been previously needed to perform the same task. The data center also hosts recently announced “Smart Business” cloud computing offerings – each of these solutions can significantly reduce a client’s total cost of ownership by up to 40 percent.
* Built for expansion: Due to an innovative modular design method, IBM will be able to add significant future capacity in nearly half the time it would take traditional data centers to expand. This design/build method – called IBM Enterprise Modular Data Center (IBM EMDC) – also enables IBM to rapidly scale capacity to meet demand by adding future space, power, and cooling to the data center with no disruption to existing operations. This means up to 40 percent of capital costs and up to 50 percent of operational costs may be deferred until client demand necessitates expansion. The new data center can also quickly and seamlessly expand its power and cooling capacity.
* New building standards: IBM started building the data center in August 2008 and it began to support client operations within 15 months compared to the industry benchmark of 18-24 months.

In constructing the new data center, IBM renovated an existing building on its Research Triangle Park campus by reusing 95 percent of the original building’s shell, recycling 90 percent of the materials from the original building and ensuring that 20 percent of newly purchased material came from recycled products The result lowered costs and reduced the carbon footprint associated with building by nearly 50 percent allowing IBM to apply for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification. LEED is a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings.

Factors key to IBM’s selection of RTP as the site for the new facility include North Carolina’s robust network infrastructure, its leadership approach to energy efficiency, information technology security and geographic elements such as the low risk for natural disasters.

(The Hosting News) – A new 24×7×365 managed security services was announced by Host.net for its cloud computing customers through a partnership with network security provider StillSecure. Utilizing StillSecure’s ProtectPoint™ managed security service as a virtual appliance, Host.net can now provide 24×7×365 security monitoring and management of the virtual infrastructure, immediate response to security threats, and compliance reporting for enterprises using its cloud computing service for line-of-business applications and complex hosting.

Virtual security services including firewall, VPN, intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS), vulnerability scanning, web security, and email security can be purchased from Host.net on a subscription basis as either a standalone solution or service bundle. Services can be configured for monitoring both gateway and internal connections, providing comprehensive protection against internal and external threats. All security services are backed by a 24×7×365 SAS-70 Type II audited Security Operations Center (SOC) that is staffed by certified security analysts.

The new virtual-based security services offer the same vigilant protection, monitoring and management as the hardware appliance-based service with the added benefits of standard high-availability redundancy, near-immediate failover in the event of a virtual equipment failure, and the ability to rapidly upgrade and add system resources (CPU, RAM and disk) when a specific client’s traffic and workload demand more horsepower from the firewall.

“Host.net is one step ahead of most data centers because they truly understand the importance of embedding security within the virtual environment,” said Steve Harris, VP of Managed Services at StillSecure. “Host.net customers save time and money by leveraging the pre-built, pre-configured and ready-to-run VMware version of our ProtectPoint managed security services.”

“We had the rare opportunity to team with StillSecure during the strategy and design phase of their new platform. The result is a product that protects the customer’s mission with CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability),” said Roger Barranco, Host.net’s Chief Technology Officer and VP of Operations. “Host.net uniquely interweaves security throughout the platform rather than simply layering security on top of their infrastructure as other providers do. It’s a critical addition to our service portfolio that will help keep our clients’ virtual infrastructure safe from both inside and outside attacks.”

Host.net’s new StillSecure-based managed security service extends the competitive advantages of Host.net’s cloud computing platform, which focuses on performance, high availability and data protection. Benefits of Host.net’s cloud computing services include 300-500% performance increases over standard hosted SAN solutions, recovery of virtual machines within one minute of a host failure, full data backup to one on-site and one off-site storage subsystem within Host.net’s own national virtual private data center (vPDC) network for near-immediate disaster recovery, and optional replication to additional Host.net sites for added security and redundancy.

As a single source for virtual enterprise server, SAN storage, backup/restore, disaster recovery, colocation, Internet access, multinational transport, MPLS, Metro Ethernet, managed security and IP voice, Host.net leverages their capabilities to ensure the integrity and availability of their clients’ data.

(The Hosting News) – Michigan data center operator Online Tech and Ann Arbor-based product lifecycle management (PLM) software firm Campfire Interactive formally announced a partnership to deliver Campfire’s PLM solution on managed servers in Online Tech’s SAS-70 certified data centers.

Pradeep Seneviratne, President of Campfire Interactive, said “we are clearly seeing the growing trend towards Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) running on managed servers. Many of our customers are deploying our advanced Product Lifecycle Management tools but don’t want to manage the servers and infrastructure. We selected Online Tech as our managed hosting partner to deliver our Software through a SaaS model for our clients. This allows us to operate as a tightly integrated team, and helps us focus on the business solution, and know that the underlying infrastructure will be reliable and cost-effective.”

“Our relationship began by hosting Campfire’s solution for a Fortune 50 company on our managed servers” said Mike Klein, President of Online Tech. “The customer needed to deploy Campfire’s PLM solution quickly and they preferred a hosted solution with a simple monthly fee over the challenge of getting a new application approved and supported through their corporate IT department. The customer was deploying Campfire’s solution for a mission critical business process – worldwide strategic planning and sales forecasting. This meant that the deployment had to meet all of the global enterprise-scale security and reliability concerns of a Fortune 50 company. We met all the customer requirements and helped them accelerate their time to market and minimize their long term support costs by delivering the software on managed servers.”

Online Tech’s SAS-70 certification smoothed the way to getting corporate approval for a managed hosting solution in Online Tech’s data centers. SAS-70 is a nationally recognized audit standard for evaluating the process and security control procedures across the data center that is required by Sarbanes-Oxley. The SAS-70 designation demonstrates that the data center has the proper controls and procedures around physical and network security, environmental controls, system availability and performance and those controls have been followed consistently over time.

Following the successful first deployment, other Campfire customers have already taken advantage of this partnership to utilize Online Tech’s services. Based on these multiple customer success, Campfire and Online Tech have decided to formalize their partnership and offer the solution to Campfire’s entire customer base.

As part of the agreement, Campfire’s customers can host their mission critical PLM software on Online Tech’s managed servers located in their world-class Michigan data centers for a fraction of the cost of maintaining a full-fledged data center. This helps Campfire Interactive rapidly deliver its offerings across a broad range of vertical markets including Automotive, Chemical, Electronics and Semiconductors, and across a wide range of geographies. In addition, Campfire can now offer the convenience of hosting custom solutions for those clients who have unique needs.

(The Hosting News) - Cloud Backup Leader Acknowledged for Top Technology And Channel-Focused Business Model

Asigra Inc., a leading cloud backup and recovery software provider since 1986, today received recognition as one of the 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Products for 2010 by CRN, a leading IT publication. CRN’s list was based on nominations from Solution Providers rating technology, channel influence, effectiveness and visibility along with business and sales impact. The final selections were made by a panel of Everything Channel Editors. This recognition sets the pace for Asigra in 2010 as the company’s Cloud Backup™ software becomes the standard for MSPs and VARs seeking to add backup services, switch from underperforming online backup or move from reselling backup services to building a secure, efficient and profitable cloud backup vault.

“Asigra is again honored by CRN with this recognition as having one of the 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Vendors for 2010,” said Eran Farajun, Executive Vice President for Asigra. “The real winners, however, are our partners who have aligned with a software partner who does not compete against them and instead provides a platform and pro-rata partner program to compete effectively in the market.”

As a way of demonstrating its commitment to all partners—regardless of company size—Asigra’s pro-rata incentive program allows all Asigra partners to receive the same margins, incentives and benefits, based on growth, contributions and success, that are relative to the size of the partner’s organization. Unlike traditional partner programs which are typically skewed to benefit only a vendor’s largest partners, Asigra’s partner program is designed to level the playing field by making benefits based on partners’ pro-rata contributions regardless of size. This allows partners of any size to achieve top benefits based on pro-rata contributions related to revenue growth; prospective sales opportunities; technical expertise, and Asigra “brand ambassadorship” to promote awareness in the partner’s own community.

Cloud backup was recently highlighted by International Data Corporation (IDC) as one of the top 5 cloud computing applications in demand by end users1. As a result of the simplicity, reliability, pricing flexibility and deployment options, organizations are transitioning from traditional backup to this advanced approach. Cloud computing applications standardize processes to reduce training for greater efficiency and offer the latest functionality without additional capital expense, making cloud applications the way of the future. Asigra continues to excel in this area because of its focus on business-class cloud backup and 100% channel delivery model that has helped more than 500 VARs and MSPs successfully and profitably deliver backup and recovery that is aligned with cloud computing.

The channel opportunity in cloud backup continues to climb alongside industry-wide data growth, greater acceptance of Software-as-a-Service and a growing number of services delivered ‘from the cloud.’ Businesses are familiarizing themselves with the benefits and shopping around for services that best fit their organizations.

Winners of the 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Products were announced online at Channelweb.com and will be featured in the January 25th issue of CRN.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) February 2, 2010 — Businesses in search of highly developed web hosting solutions need look no further than CartikaCloud’s new utility based, High Availability Linux and Windows Cloud hosting services. New CartikaCloud redefines the standard for hosted services by offering a range of high availability Cloud based web hosting solutions in addition to an easy-to-use web interface and unparalleled client assistance.

CartikaCloud Key Features

CartikaCloud features completely redundant and self healing architecture with additional and optional load balancing and clustering of all Cloud servers and services within the CartikaCloud. Complimented by utility billing, 360 degree scalability, predictive failure analysis, Countinous Data Protection and enterprise grade Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus features. Cartika CEO Andrew Rouchotas explains that the unique aspect of the CartikaCloud is enabling consumers to operate the software and control panels which they are already accustomed to using within the CartikaCloud seamlessly and without custom coding or configurations to accommodate their existing requirements. The CartikaCloud resolves most common issues associated with traditional hosting models. By spreading servers and services across a fleet of self healing physical nodes, the CartikaCloud allows websites to add CPU, RAM, Disk Space and Bandwidth as required and only when required. Additionally, websites become immune to hardware failures as every facet of the offering is redundant and self healing where services are automatically and instantly brought up on new physical nodes in case of hardware failure.
“Our new CartikaCloud solution allows customers the ability to allocate servers and resources in an elastic and utility based manner. Customers have the option of running Linux or Windows based platforms. IT professionals can create as many Cloud Servers as required and allocate as much capacity to each server as they require in an elastic, utility based manner. The average consumer can create Cloud Servers as required, allocate resources as required, pay by the day for additional resources, operate whichever control panel they are accustomed to using and have our staff fully and proactively manage their Cloud servers on their behalf. Cartika offers the most complete definition of server management available in the industry and this extends to our Managed Cloud Server offerings. Customers can choose to cluster in the cloud, load balance in the cloud or just operate single Cloud Servers. CartikaCloud would like to take this opportunity to thank and acknowledge our partners who are key and critical components to this offering. Citrix XenServer, Citrix Netscaler, NetApp Storage Systems, R1Soft CDP, CloudLinux Operating Systems, as well as, H-Sphere, DirectAdmin and cPanel control panel vendors are crucial components to our offerings. Along with the technologies provided by our partners, we are able to provide customers an easy to use GUI which enables them to manage their Cloud Servers via direct console or remote desktop access, allows customers to re size cloud servers ondemand and only be billed by the day for any resources which may be required to accommodate bursts in traffic associated with traffic spikes typically seen from seasonal business models or planned and/or unplanned marketing activities”

Citrix systems provides the virtualization and load balancing layers (XenServer and Netscaler respectively) within the CartikaCloud. Citrix Systems Virtualization technology enables the CartikaCloud to maintain elasticity and redundancy, and via their Netscaler Load Balancers, enables customers to load balance between Cloud Servers.

NetApp Network Storage solutions are the backbone behind the CartikaCloud storage system offering redundant, scalable and elastic Cloud Storage solutions to be built.

CDP backup and recovery solutions by R1Soft enables CartikaCloud customers to backup and restore their Cloud servers in a granual and efficient manner.

The CloudLinux Operating system is a commercially supported Linux OS flavour specifically built to operate in multi-tenant Cloud Hosting environments and allows customers to run a per account software level virtualization within the CartikaCloud. This enables Cloud Server customers to granularly control the allocations of each account hosted within their Cloud Server and further improves the efficiency of their operations while simultaneously avoiding many of the traditional pitfalls in multi-tenant hosting environments.

The CartikaCloud is a premium, elastic, resilient and flexible hosting service. Transcending industries, sectors and company size. With their range of services, Cartika specializes in providing small to medium sized and enterprise businesses an elastic and scalable capacity on demand model, complete with a service that includes Juniper based security firewalls, self healing infrastructure, 360 degree scalability, optional load balanceing architecture, redundant Cloud Storage solutions, continuous data protection, mail foundry anti virus and anti-spam protection, and much more.
