Denver, CO (PRWEB) May 10, 2011
Hosting.com, the leading provider of cloud hosting and recovery services, today announced the release of its Compliant Critical Availability Service (CAS). Compliant CAS introduces the hosting industrys most comprehensive compliant and application-centric SLA (Service Level Agreement) to ensure the mission-critical applications and infrastructure of Hosting.com clients are secure, attain regulatory compliance and quickly scale with zero downtime.
The Compliant Critical Availability Service (Compliant CAS) adds a layer of managed security to Hosting.coms Critical Availability Service, released earlier this year, to meet regulatory requirements and improve application security. Compliant CAS has four main components: a high availability and certified infrastructure, Entourage support, the Critical Availability Service SLA and managed security services. The managed security services assist the customer in meeting PCI compliancy requirements 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11. The security services include managed dedicated firewalls, managed backup services, SSL certificates, antivirus protection, patching, web application firewalls, PCI level 1 compliant datacenters, log management, and threat detection services.
Craig McLellan, Hosting.com Chief Technology Officer, commented, We see an increase in the number of customers seeking compliant hosting solutions to meet regulatory requirements for their mission-critical applications. Our Compliant CAS solution has already proven effective with ecommerce applications that require the highest levels of availability, uptime and compliance. Hosting.com guarantees that our certified CAS configurations will provide a cost-effective business continuity solution to help companies avoid clinical disasters and ensure their mission-critical applications are available 24x7x365.
The CAS high availability and certified infrastructure is delivered from one of Hosting.coms geographically-dispersed datacenters and leverages the Hosting.com CAS reference architecture consisting of five managed services: dedicated firewalls, load balancing, backups, advanced monitoring and patching. The combination of the five managed services provides every customer the infrastructure necessary to ensure their applications are always available and Hosting.com guarantees it.
The Critical SLA is unparalleled in the hosting industry as it is based on application availability not component type. Typically, service provider SLAs only reimburse clients for downtime associated with a single component of their solution. The CAS SLA takes it one step further by paying double the normal payout for the entire solution when the application is unavailable due to infrastructure outages. CAS is supported by the Hosting.com Entourage which is a small group of highly trained and dedicated server engineers assigned to specific customer groups.
Hosting.coms CAS configurations are available in dedicated and cloud environments. Hosting.coms recently released 2011 Cloud Trends and Best Practices Report revealed that 43% of companies will turn to cloud infrastructure to gain access to more robust high availability and recovery services. In addition, the report revealed that the number of companies implementing cloud to complement their BCDR strategy will grow by 5x over the next 18 months.
Join Hosting.com on May 11, 2011 for a live webinar titled, How to Avoid the Costly Pitfalls of PCI Compliance. Hosting.com and Randy Rosenbaum of Alert Logic will discuss how to reduce operational and technology costs in half by deploying a Software-as-a-Service solution for PCI-DSS requirements 10 and 11.
