Standing Cloud Launches Cloud Deployment Platform for Drupal

Denver, CO (PRWEB) March 20, 2012

Standing Cloud (http://www.standingcloud.com/), a leading provider of cloud-based application management solutions, today unveiled Drupal powered by Standing Cloud (http://www.standingcloud.com/drupal), an optimized Drupal application management platform built for quick, problem-free Drupal deployment in the cloud.

The new offering, which debuts today at DrupalCon 2012 in Denver, streamlines and automates Drupal deployment and management, making it easy to build, test, deploy and scale Drupal sites on a wide range of cloud providers. Best-of breed automated management tools including monitoring, scaling, back-ups, upgrades, auto-restore and more ensure reliability, scalability and control.

The Drupal Application Network on Standing Cloud (http://www.standingcloud.com/drupal/application-network) includes the latest versions of Drupal and leading Drupal distributions, including Kaltura, Open Atrium, OpenEnterprise, OpenPublic, and Open Publish. Developers can select an application and version, and deploy directly to their choice of more than 15 leading cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services, Rackspace, OpSource, CloudSigma, GoGrid, and more.

Standing Cloud automatically scripts best-practice installation of the OS, technology stack (including support for Varnish, Drush, APC, and Memcached) and preferred Drupal version on top of the chosen cloud infrastructure, providing portability, flexibility and quality assurance that standard image-based deployments simply can’t match.

Weve made no secret of our commitment to the Drupal community, said Joni Klippert, Director of Customer Development for Standing Cloud. Weve spent months talking and listening to Drupal developers to produce an offering that eliminates the hassle of deploying and managing Drupal sites in the cloud. Were excited to continue working with the community and optimizing the platform to their needs.

Standing Cloud is a Bronze Sponsor and exhibitor (Booth #205) at DrupalCon 2012, the largest annual gathering of the Drupal community, with 60+ exhibitors and 3,000 attendees expected.

ShoreGroup Announces Optimized CaseSentry Virtual Deployment Profile for Management of Cloud Services

New York, NY. (PRWEB) June 12, 2012

NEW YORK, NY. June 12, 2012 ShoreGroup, Inc., a premier professional services and software solutions firm, today announced the availability of an optimized virtual CaseSentry Systems Management deployment profile giving service providers greater scalability and flexibility in cloud management capacity. ShoreGroups virtual CaseSentry (vCS) management architecture allows for multi-tenant deployment that combines the benefits of true data segregation and security with seamless growth as service providers grow their clientele. Through integration to ShoreGroups FieldWatch management console, service providers have a multi-tenancy aggregation endpoint for centralized incident management. With the new virtual deployment profile the processor requirement per instance is reduced to as low as 500 MHz while reduced data store of call detail records and operational metrics is supported. The combination enables a higher density of CaseSentry instances to reside on each server, thereby reducing the physical server count, power consumption and related cost.

The new virtualized CaseSentry deployment profile also includes the full integration of Advanced Logic Profiles (ALPs) available in a traditional CaseSentry system. CaseSentry ALPs are a set of patented elements performing stateful processing on millions of simultaneous, complex systems and network management flows to determine the precise root cause of an incident. Traditional event driven management platforms lack stateful monitoring and cannot accurately process duplicate events, out-of-order events, and long time periods between related events, which results in improper modeling of complex application behavior causing both false-positive and false-negative results when chaining together assurance logic. Incorporation of ALPs in the virtualized CaseSentry deployment profile provides the effective management and visibility that service providers require to maintain the highest level of availability within their hosted and cloud environments.

By taking advantage of the optimized virtual CaseSentry deployment profile, service providers supporting complex unified communications and contact center services can take advantage of stateful flow processing to profitably support Day 2 or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings, said Christos Klardie, ShoreGroups Director of Contact Center Engineering. In this CaseSentry deployment model, service providers get the best of both worlds, a small footprint with powerful query and analysis capability providing the insight that operations personnel require.

ShoreGroup Announces Successful Deployment of Disaster Response Plan to Support Clients Impacted by Hurricane Sandy

New York, NY. (PRWEB) November 01, 2012

NEW YORK, NY. November 1, 2012 ShoreGroup, Inc., a premier professional services and software solutions firm, today announced the successful deployment of its disaster response plan to support its clients impacted by Hurricane Sandy. The companys multifaceted plan includes remote deployment of client-specific processes to prepare for site shutdown, high-alert monitoring of networks and routine client communications during the closure, and support to clients when bringing the site back online.

At the first indication of Hurricane Sandys projected path, ShoreGroups management team activated the companys disaster response plan. Customer sites within the potential strike zone were identified, and personal contact was initiated to assess each clients up to the minute preparedness plans and confirm the integration points to ShoreGroups Support Center. ShoreGroup continually monitored the storms trajectory over the course of the week for the latest visibility to the areas and clients that could be impacted. As the storm approached, ShoreGroup mobilized its virtualized support resources in 24 states in preparation for the expected influx of activities to support the major networks of clients in the affected areas. In addition, ShoreGroup implemented its internal disaster preparedness plan to prepare its staff and facilities located in the northeast, and test redundant power and circuit resources within its hardened Support Center in advance of the storm.

While clients took important steps to physically secure and close facilities, ShoreGroups engineering team proceeded to remotely implement planned system configuration changes to re-direct calls and network services to facilities outside of the storms path. ShoreGroups Support Center continually monitored systems and applications at the client sites, with system issues or loss of services being reported to the clients designated personnel during the closure. As an onsite systems management solution, ShoreGroups CaseSentry has the resiliency to circumvent support interruption and remain accessible to clients for management of infrastructure and applications during the most difficult conditions. ShoreGroup is currently assisting clients restore vital network and communications services and return to normal business operations.

While we have confronted other disasters, the number of our national and international customers having major operations within the area impacted by Hurricane Sandy makes this an unprecedented one, said James Firenze, ShoreGroups Vice President of Managed Services. Our customers view ShoreGroup as a strategic partner. We operate as a valued extension of their in-house support team and share mutual goals. By integrating our plans to respond to disasters, customers can leverage the additional resources of our remote support team during their time of need and minimize the impact to their business. We value the strong relationships we have with our customers, and our disaster response plan will remain in place until services at all sites have been restored.

Cyaras Automated Testing Suite Reduces Call Center Technology Deployment Risk, Saves Project at Global, U.S.-Based Financial Institution

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 16, 2012

Cyara today announced the publishing of their latest customer success story detailing how automated testing saved a 2012 technology upgrade deployment at a global financial institution based in the U.S. Cyara is a pioneer of next-generation premise and cloud solutions for testing, monitoring and simulation of interactive voice response (IVRs) and contact center systems and applications.

This case study documents in great detail the reality of what can go wrong and does in many deployments with so many moving parts, as is the case in complex contact center infrastructure and application deployments, says Alok Kulkarni, CEO, Cyara.

One of the many Cyara benefits cited by the customer in the interview was the ability to eliminate vendor misunderstandings, which can be crucial to the success of complex deployments.

The value of the Cyara tools went way beyond basic IVR verification, says the senior technical project manager, allowing the organization to quantify errors found in the IVR, including call recordings that could be provided to the vendor to help them in cleaning up the IVR code and functions that were found to be missing. The vendor discussions were far more succinct and removed any possibility of misunderstanding, she says.

We know what Cyaras automated testing suite can do for our customers, he says, but were delighted to see the customer and in particular, the project manager, come up with some unintended use cases for how Cyara could and did help make the project a success, says Kulkarni.

The case study, while extremely detailed with a narrative driven by direct customer quotes, does not mention the company by name. Our customer is extremely happy with the deployment, but has a policy of not officially endorsing vendors publicly, says Kulkarni. However, they allowed us to interview the senior technical project manager to document in detail the deployment and how automated testing played a critical role in the success of their contact center and IVR technology upgrade. says Kulkarni.

Our customers are committed to staying ahead of potential points of failure and rectifying them before customer experience is impacted. This customers experience with our suite in their technology upgrade is another proof point in Cyaras commitment to deliver a cost-effective, time saving suite of automated solutions customers themselves can use to ensure they deliver intended customer experience, says Kulkarni.

Highlights of the Case Study Include:

– Control, collaboration, flexible testing instills customer confidence
