Established UK ISP Veber Announces Upcoming Launch of UK Python Cloud Server & Cloud Backup Offering

Watford, UK (PRWEB UK) 8 November 2011

The staff at the POBox Group, home of established UK ISP Veber and the new Python Cloud Server and Cloud Backup venture, are very aware that the ‘Cloud’ is currently a hotly debated topic in the web hosting industry and as such have vowed to ensure that, when launched in early 2012, Python offers an accessible and demand-appropriate service to its customers.

Tim Poultney, CEO of the POBox Group, is enthusiastic in his belief that “this computing model presents important advantages for SMEs and larger businesses in the current climate. Those financial and logistical advantages of using a cloud-based infrastructure can only be truly realised if businesses have an understanding of what they are entering into. One of Python’s priorities is to help with that understanding. We are entering into a competitive market, take Amazon’s AWS and EC2, Virgin Media’s VPDC or Rackspace’s OpenStack project for example. The technology is growing, the awareness is growing – we aim to grow the understanding so that customers can make the right choices about computing models to suit their needs.”

Certainly, the advantages of Cloud Hosting are well-propagated: lower hardware costs, lower personnel costs and better security to name a few. When adopting this solution a business has no need to invest in expensive equipment or employ costly expert employees. In addition, security is one element where the benefits come into their own. Hardware crash? No problem, your offsite hosted data is safe in a secure, offsite location with maximum resilience.

Moreover, as James Robinson, Python’s Operations Manager, explains “this technology offers a high degree of personalisation and scalability. Customised Cloudstack software manages the virtualisation and allocates the cloud’s resources. As Cloud infrastructure is built on the tenets of scalability and adaptability the customer can increase or decrease their usage on demand instead of relying on a Veber style Dedicated Server with a fixed capacity. Customers will pay only for the resources they use.”

Pythons offering is built on industry standard virtualisation software from VMware, with the addition of a customised Cloudstack software layer which manages all the automated infrastructure features such as high availability, resource load management, storage scaling and hardware monitoring. When asked who would benefit, Tim Poultney remarked, Python Servers are for any company needing a flexible and secure hosting infrastructure our expertise is already proven but we want to make this accessible to every company that needs cloud. Weve designed Python as not only an easy to use, scalable and reliable infrastructure, but also easy for companies to understand and adapt adding a second, third or fourth server is simple.

If you are looking for online backup, the Disaster Recovery service will include specifications suitable for home workstations right through to larger enterprises. “We have thought carefully about the buyer personas we are aiming our service at”, says Vicki Perch Python’s Marketing Consultant, “and want to ensure that our offering is equally as accessible to a home PC user as to an SME or larger business Director. This includes the technical specification we offer as well as the cost and the support.” On the technical side, Python has been built with Windows, Mac and Linux clients and offers many advanced features such as long retention policies, full end to end encryption and multiple datasets. A full list of features will be available shortly.

Python’s services will be backed by the same marks of quality as their Veber counterparts. The Python Promise will ensure the use of branded hardware, Tier 1 UK datacentres such as Telehouse London, Tier 1 connectivity, 24/7 email support and like for like price match policy.

Python will be online in early 2012. In the meantime keep an eye on the website at http://www.python.co.uk or the POBox Group’s blog at blog.veber.co.uk to keep up to date with developments. You can also follow @veberhost on Twitter or take a look at facebook.com/veberhost. Veber continues to offer its trademark flexible and tailored approach to Dedicated Server Hosting, Cloud Hosting Services and Colocation Services.

This will allow VoIP Innovations to quickly handle Toll-Free porting requests. In addition, VoIP Innovations recently launched it iPhone and Android App which allows resellers to monitor their Porting Dashboard reports.

VoIP Innovations strength lies in its large footprint. It is one of the few carriers that is a true nationwide provider with several thousand rate centers. They are able to port to so many rate centers because they have such a large footprint, stated Ben Navaro with a Denver based ITSP. VoIP Innovations has grown its footprint by aggregating several carriers in order to provide one large ubiquitous network.

ProviDyns Expands Its Hardware as a Service (HaaS) Offering to SMBs

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 31, 2012

July 31, 2012 — ProviDyn, a provider of IT support, strategy and services, announces the expansion of their Hardware as a Service (HaaS) offering designed to provide capital equipment advantages to small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) for a reasonable fixed monthly fee.

For many SMBs, there are infrastructure and network equipment needs that require a significant capital investment. Often times, with constrained budgets, it is difficult to justify a large cash expense to procure the necessary hardware to allow their business to perform efficiently with business class stability.

ProviDyns HaaS program is designed to allow SMBs to shift their capital equipment expenses to an operational cost, but also include the cost of software and management with those devices. In todays market, servers, firewalls, switches, routers, wireless access points, etc., have become the norm rather than the exception. Often, the cost of acquiring these devices can be prohibitive, leading the business owners and decision makers to make sacrifices in their network architecture in order to preserve capital or cash on hand.

Along with the financial benefits, the HaaS program also creates flexibility and scalability as SMBs grow. Rapid growth often leads to continual upgrade and replacement of hardware and equipment. Under the HaaS model, companies can maintain a predictable monthly cost, and upgrade into more advanced devices as dictated by company growth.

Weve reached a point where all businesses, both big and small, have difficulty operating without a proper infrastructure, said Hamish Davidson, co-founder and president of ProviDyn. In the past, capital investment has been costly and inflexible for SMBs. With our HaaS program, these companies can now acquire the proper equipment and software, without making sacrifices that weaken their technology, within a reasonable and manageable budget.

About ProviDyn

ProviDyn provides technology expertise, services and support to Atlanta-area small and medium-sized businesses. Backed by certified technology professionals, ProviDyns services include managed services, cloud computing solutions, virtualization, help desk and computer support, IT strategy, network security, backup and disaster recovery and IP telephony.
