Horizon Data Center Solutions Launches Secure Cloud Computing Platform Called FlexSafe Cloud, Expanding their Infrastructure as a Service Business

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) September 14, 2009

Horizon Data Center Solutions, a leading data center and IT flexsourcing firm serving businesses and government agencies with colocation, disaster recovery and managed IT services, has launched its cloud computing solution, called FlexSafe Cloud.

FlexSafe Cloud is a private, secure approach to cloud computing that meets the needs of organizations that want the flexibility, scalability and cost savings of virtualization, but that also require the security of a private computing platform.

FlexSafe Cloud is part of Horizon’s strategy to fill a gap in the marketplace by providing flexible, full-service IT outsourcing options that can serve the enterprise client as well as small and medium sized businesses. The company pioneered the concept with its DCFlexSpace colocation model and has continued to expand available IT services to meet client demand.

Horizon says the FlexSafe Cloud delivers immediate benefits for Software as a Service (SaaS) companies, e-commerce businesses with applications that experience fluctuating transaction volumes, financial firms, government agencies, and other entities that want the greater efficiencies and cost savings of virtualization without giving up security.

Chuck Smith, Executive Vice President with Horizon and the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, says that, while the industry debates the actual definition of cloud computing, Horizon has adopted the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) working definition, with its key characteristics of on-demand self-service, ubiquitous network access, ability to rapidly scale resources and pay on a measured-usage basis.

“Our growing list of federal clients made it a logical decision to adopt the NIST working definition of the cloud,” says Smith.

Smith says the FlexSafe Cloud is highly scalable and based upon Horizon’s Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering. Beginning with Tier III data centers, the Horizon IaaS solution is built on leading edge technology providers like Above Net, Cisco, F5 Networks and HP. The FlexSafe Cloud service is virtualized using VMware, and provides the High Availability (HA) performance and security levels required by enterprise data center customers. HDCS currently has two DFW area data centers, providing fast, reliable data backup and replication solutions.

“We believe that the large public cloud providers like Amazon and Google have done an excellent job of supporting the testing and development world, so there’s no need for us to pursue the public cloud. For government and enterprise clients, private clouds are where we can add significant value,” Smith says. The company will also offer community cloud solutions for entities with multiple businesses.

Horizon CEO, Lance A. Smith adds, “Our current clients appreciate our highly secure, reliable data center infrastructure and have asked us to provide this service. We are pleased to extend our relationships with them, while at the same time offering an option that represents our continued charge to fill the gap in the IT outsourcing market between the very large, global IT outsourcing companies and traditional hosting companies. With the FlexSafe Cloud option, the latest development in our fast-paced growth strategy, Horizon continues to be among the leaders in the data center market.”

For more information, contact Chuck Smith, Chief Marketing Officer, at 214 556 4138 or Connie Holubar at 903 880 8217. Corporate offices for Horizon can be reached at 972 509 0110.

About Horizon Data Center Solutions (HDCS)

Horizon Data Center Solutions is a premier data center and managed services provider. The company works with enterprise clients that run extensive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications that require significant storage and mission-critical reliability, as well as small and medium sized businesses that appreciate the same.

Tightrope Media Systems" ZEPLAY Instant Replay Platform Captures the Moment for Professional Bull Riders

Saint Paul, Minnesota (PRWEB) March 14, 2012

Tightrope Media Systems announces that the Professional Bull Riders, with 1,200 bull riders competing in more than 300 annual events, has added the ZEPLAY system to trigger lightning-fast instant replay of exciting moments for live audiences.

The Professional Bull Riders organization has relationships with CBS Sports Network, NBC Sports Network, YouTube and other broadcast entities for its Built Ford Tough Series, televised weekly. Two mobile trucks accommodate live show production and broadcast links on location at each event, with ZEPLAY precisely and efficiently handling all instant replay duties.

Danial Semar, live events video director for the Professional Bull Riders, notes that ZEPLAY brings new multichannel capabilities to the production, displaying four live camera angles on built-in monitors for replay consideration.

ZEPLAY raises our quality level by taking us from simple slo-mo regurgitation of the program feed to giving us multiple instant replay choices, said Semar. Within seconds we can spit out the angle of our choosing in very high-quality and go live as we dictate. Its quick and snappy, and its very impressive.

Semar points to low cost and strong features as key reasons for choosing ZEPLAY. The all-in-one design integrates storage, multiviewing, switching and four bidirectional channels, allowing a single operator to make quick, intelligent replay decisions in fast-paced live production environments with tremendous ease of use. Learning curve is simple, with production staff able to take the seat on a moments notice following a quick ten-minute walkthrough.

Semar also notes that ZEPLAYs meta-tagging options allow him to uniquely label clips by rider, date and other details and quickly pull content from the archives for instant replay on request. Such on-the-fly efficiencies reduce time and effort and keep the momentum intact while creating a quality television experience for viewers.

There is no time to slow down we have eight seconds to capture feeds, turn them around and make entertainment, said Semar. If we need to pull something from the archives I dont have to dig through many hours of video files to find a specific clip. ZEPLAY gives us the live visual feedback, archival recall, and time we need to evaluate angles and make quick decisions for the in-house mix. We can continue to grow with it.

Founded in 1997, Tightrope Media Systems is the pioneer of web-centric digital signage and broadcast automation systems.

Arbor Networks Introduces New Version of the Peakflow

CHELMSFORD, MA (PRWEB) April 24, 2012

Arbor Networks, Inc., a leading provider of security and network management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, today announced the availability of version 5.7 of Peakflow SP, the industrys leading network-wide infrastructure security and traffic-monitoring platform.

According to a recent report from Infonetics Research titled DDoS Prevention Appliance Market Outlook, Arbor Networks was cited as the dominant leader for DDoS prevention overall, with a 75.4 percent market share in the carrier transport and wired broadband market segment, versus 8.8 percent for the next competitor.” Arbor quietly took control of the DDoS prevention appliance market over the last ten years, but with the massive increase in volume, size, and mainstream visibility of DDoS attacks, Arbor has emerged as a key security partner for large service providers around the globe, said Jeff Wilson Infonetics Research, Principal Analyst, Security.

The vast majority of the worlds leading service providers rely on Arbors Peakflow SP platform to proactively fend off malicious threats such as botnets and volumetric and application-layer distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, while strengthening the availability and quality of their services. The Peakflow SP platform includes two main components, Peakflow SP and the Threat Management System (TMS). Peakflow SP combines network-wide anomaly detection and traffic engineering with TMSs carrier-class threat management, which automatically detects and surgically removes only attack traffic, while maintaining legitimate business traffic. With the ability to mitigate only the attack traffic, customer-facing services remain available while providers actively mitigate attacks.

New features include the ATLAS Intelligence Feed (AIF), which delivers automated protection from virtually all known botnets, plus a real-time update service that protects customers from new botnets as they emerge. No other product or vendor has this capability. In February, Arbor announced that Japans KDDI, a global provider of fixed-line and mobile communications services, had incorporated AIF functionality into its security service offerings. Additionally, Peakflow SP now delivers an enhanced suite of detection and countermeasures that protect business-critical servers from application-layer attacks caused by malformed and abusive SSL signaling and negotiation, retransmit storms and IPv6 attack vectors.

ATLAS Intelligence Feed

AIF also delivers deep DDoS signatures in real-time to keep networks protected against hundreds of botnet-fueled DDoS attack toolsets and their variants. This unique feed automates the identification of attacks against infrastructure and services from known botnets while ensuring that updates for new threats are automatically delivered without software upgrades. The ATLAS Intelligence Feed enables Peakflow SP customers to directly benefit from the depth and breadth of Arbors research team.

The Arbor Security Engineering & Response Team (ASERT) is a recognized industry expert when it comes to Internet threat analysis. ASERTs primary focus is on botnets, which account for a majority of the DDoS attacks on the Internet today. ASERT has unique visibility into DDoS botnets because of its ATLAS infrastructure, which combines a darknet sensor network with traffic data from more than 100 service provider customers around the world. This enormous dataset enables ASERT to develop a unique, globally-scoped view of malicious traffic traversing backbone networks that form the Internet’s core. This insight is critical, as botnets are constantly changing and updating to thwart detection.

SSL Protocol Attack Protection

Today, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) provides the necessary security and encryption for enterprises and their customers to safeguard sensitive transactions and email over the Internet. As enterprises increasingly rely on SSL for their mission critical communications, it becomes a more significant target for DDoS attacks. To ensure the availability of SSL-powered services, Arbors Peakflow SP now delivers DDoS protections for SSL regardless of the application HTTPS, POP3S, SMTPS, etc. Peakflow SP blocks SSL DDoS attacks with ASERT-designed protections that guard against malformed traffic, attempts to continually renegotiate connections and other advanced attacks that aim to disrupt service availability.

Peakflow SP has dominated the service provider market for a long time because we continue to invest and innovate in the platform, said Colin Doherty, Arbor Networks president. Increasingly, large enterprises, hosting providers and cloud providers are also deploying Peakflow SP because of the advanced, proven DDoS protection the solution provides. Peakflow SP plays a critical role in securing the Internet from availability threats like denial of service attacks. It also provides extremely valuable insight into network traffic with actionable intelligence that provides real value for security, operations and even marketing teams within a provider organization. Peakflow is and will remain a very robust security and traffic management platform.

Private Cloud Hosting Provider ScaleMatrix Selects Arbor Networks Peakflow

Chelmsford, MA (PRWEB) May 09, 2012

Arbor Networks, Inc., a leading provider of security and network management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, today announced that ScaleMatrix, a global leader in Private Cloud Hosting and Colocation, has selected Arbors Peakflow SP platform, the industrys leading network-wide infrastructure security and traffic-monitoring platform.

According to a recent report from Infonetics Research titled DDoS Prevention Appliance Market Outlook, Arbor Networks was cited as the dominant leader for DDoS prevention overall, with a 75.4% market share in the carrier transport and wired broadband market segment, versus 8.8% for the next competitor.

Headquartered in San Diego, CA, ScaleMatrix is a rapidly growing provider of colocation, managed services and private cloud hosting solutions. Customers include leading finance, healthcare, and gaming organizations. Arbor Networks works with hosting providers around the world and understands that the issue of availability is paramount. Hosting providers often have a higher risk of DDoS attacks than other online businesses because hosting providers, in effect, aggregate the risk of all their customers. An attack on one customer can affect others and potentially the entire hosting operation because of the heavy reliance on shared infrastructure. The overall impact of a DDoS attack is a function of the time it takes to detect the attack, the time needed to mitigate it and the extent of service degradation both before and after mitigation.

Security concerns are the number one impediment to businesses looking to leverage the benefits of hosted infrastructure. Companies need absolute confidence that data and applications are going to be secure and available, always. To make that happen for our customers, we have turned to the world leader in availability protection, Arbor Networks, said Mark Ortenzi, ScaleMatrix chief executive officer.

ScaleMatrix is a rapidly growing, innovative provider of a wide variety of services, from colocation to VPN to Infrastructure, Software, Platform and Compliance as a Service. Underpinning all of these is availability. These services must be available on demand. Arbor Networks has been focused on the denial-of service issue for more than a decade. Arbors Peakflow SP platform provides availability protection for the vast majority of the worlds service and hosting providers in operation today, said Colin Doherty, Arbor Networks president.

Integrated DDoS Detection & Mitigation

ScaleMatrixs deployment of the Peakflow SP platform ensures that DDoS attacks are identified and mitigated before they get to customer premises. ScaleMatrix is using Arbors Peakflow SP platform to monitor customer access points at the edge of their infrastructure, in addition to constantly monitoring the entire Internet, looking for attacks that could disrupt or impact the availability of customer services. When Peakflow SP identifies an attack, customer traffic is diverted to the Arbor Threat Management System where it is scrubbed, and attack traffic surgically removed, while legitimate business traffic is passed through to the customer. Arbor is delivering an integrated solution that identifies and surgically removes network and application-layer attacks without interrupting the flow of legitimate traffic. This means that customer-facing services remain available while ScaleMatrix actively mitigates attacks.

GoGrid Enhances Partner Exchange Platform With New Image Rights Management Technology

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 03, 2011

GoGrid, a leading cloud infrastructure company, today announced its new Image Rights Management (IRM) technology, now available for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) participating in the companys partner exchange program. Enhancing the value GoGrids Exchange marketplace provides to ISVs, the company’s new IRM technology delivers an innovative license protection system that enables partners to safeguard their intellectual property and effectively monetize their existing software solutions using cloud-based subscription models.

Once a partner application is live in the GoGrid Exchange marketplace and available for GoGrid’s customers to deploy through value-added subscription plans, the IRM system automatically tracks instances where the application is actually running within the GoGrid cloud. The system then authenticates whether or not the application is operating on a validly deployed cloud server for which GoGrid is collecting the required subscription fees on behalf of the partner. If the proper authentication requirements are not met for an application in use, partners can protect their intellectual property and take appropriate actions such as shutting the application down, delivering a light version of the software, or instructing the customer to purchase a valid license from an external website.

“Architecting cloud computing infrastructure involves a variety of different technology solutions and our customers need a simple process to access, adopt and implement industry-leading applications for critical functions such as internet security, backup, monitoring, load balancing and compliance,” said Jeff Samuels, chief marketing officer, GoGrid. “The GoGrid Exchange featuring our IRM system brings new opportunities for software providers to expand their reach by connecting with our customer community in the GoGrid cloud. Enabling independent solutions providers to easily share and offer their existing software with licensing models that support the elasticity of a cloud environment is an important factor in driving cloud adoption and fueling industry innovation.”

The GoGrid Exchange A Cloud Solution Ecosystem

The GoGrid Exchange is a multi-dimensional marketplace of cloud solutions where Partner-created “golden server images” are sold, bought or shared across the GoGrid community. In the Exchange, solutions partners can sell or share GoGrid server images that are preinstalled and preconfigured with their software and documentation. In turn, GoGrid customers provision virtual machines based on any selected golden server image. These include GoGrid Server Images (GSIs), Partner GoGrid Server Images (PGSIs that partners have built) or Community GoGrid Server Images (CGSIs that community members have built). Customers purchase monthly subscriptions or simply use server images that are free. Customers can also share personalized GoGrid Server Images (MyGSIs) they create themselves for their own specific cloud usage.

Featuring its new IRM system, the GoGrid Exchange provides ISVs with a simple process for cloud-enabling their existing software applications while also protecting their intellectual property. With the GoGrid Exchange, customized Partner GSIs are listed in a catalog located on the GoGrid portal that customers can browse and select the value-added server images they want to include when provisioning their virtual machines. Because Partner GSIs can be provisioned in minutes, customers can drastically reduce the time it takes to get new applications and solutions up and running in the cloud. As a partner’s server image is deployed, the IRM system tracks where the application is running and authenticates whether or not it is operating on a valid server. If proper license authentication is not confirmed, the application can take appropriate actions such as shutting itself down as well as notify the vendor. GoGrid manages the Exchange payment process and provides customers with one monthly bill that includes GoGrid’s infrastructure fees and any additional Partner GSI fees. The collected value-added fees are then reimbursed to the partner on a quarterly basis.

In GoGrid’s environment, customers can also contribute their cloud expertise to the broader community. GoGrid encourages collaboration throughout the ecosystem and offers a new feature that allows customers to quickly and easily share the customized GoGrid Server Images they create. Customers simply customize a GoGrid Server Image with the applications, settings and tools they need and then access the sharing feature to make their images publicly available to the entire GoGrid community by one click of a button. Customers can use this feature, knows as Community GSIs, to quickly transfer images from one account to another, share unique images with office locations in other regions, increase adoption of open source code, save time by leveraging the work of other community members and stay on top of cutting edge applications and trends.

CloudPassage, Gazzang, Zeus Adopt GoGrid IRM

GoGrid today announced that three of its Exchange partners, CloudPassage, Gazzang and Zeus Technology, have adopted the GoGrid IRM system to authenticate the licensing rights for their cloud solutions available in the GoGrid Exchange.

CloudPassage is now offering its software-as-a-service security as a Partner GSI within the GoGrid cloud. With CloudPassage, GoGrid’s public and hybrid IaaS customers can manage their own cloud security by leveraging a single solution that is purpose-built for the cloud and delivers multiple layers of defense for cloud servers. CloudPassage and GoGrid joint customers benefit from greatly reduced attack surfaces, lower risk of compromise and improved compliance.

“As a SaaS provider, CloudPassage views the Image Rights Management technology as critical enabler of the cloud ecosystem. GoGrid recognized our need to protect licensed VMs and innovated around that need,” said Carson Sweet, co-founder and CEO of CloudPassage. “This has made it much faster and easier for us to pursue an even broader set of SaaS distribution and delivery channels.”

Gazzang is making its transparent data encryption solution for MySQL databases available on GoGrid as a Partner GSI.

WiredTree Strengthens the Network with Noction Intelligent Routing Platform

Chicaco, IL (PRWEB) June 12, 2012

Noction Intelligent Routing Platform (IRP) constantly checks traffic on WiredTree network edge and reroutes connections over existing Tier-1 backbone providers to get the lowest possible latency.

The WiredTree network consists of two logically separate and redundant architectures separate networks: a public Internet network and a private internal network. The public Internet network connects client servers to the Internet at high-speeds. The private internal network is not reachable from the public Internet. It enables WiredTree to provide many services not available at other providers including CDP and Backup Services, SAN storage, local DNS resolvers, OS update servers, service monitoring, and performance metrics. The private network also allows for free secure server to server communication without using any of the public bandwidth allowance. WiredTree partners with world class, Tier-1 providers to deliver high-performance connectivity to customers.

Most networks assume that since they have top-tier providers, they dont have persistent performance problems. In reality, most are experiencing lots of important network events a day that go unsolved because they fall below of being total outages, and they are happening too quickly to effectively troubleshoot and react to, said Grigore Raileanu, Noction President. Running IRP means identify problem areas outside of your network, before end users notice, and automatically solve them.

IRP enhances network performance by an average of 10-40% and reduces latency by approximately 30%. It improves network stability and reduces downtime, increases operational efficiency by automating network troubleshooting and problem resolution, also providing better network management and planning.

“For our customers with gaming, streaming video, VOIP and other Web-based applications requiring high quality of network, the addition of this technology is very important, said Zac Cogswell, WiredTree President.

Autotask to Launch First German-Language IT Business Management Platform -- Signs Distribution Agreement with ACMEO to Meet Demand in Germany, Austria & Switzerland

East Greenbush, NY (PRWEB) September 12, 2011

In response to strong local market demand, Autotask Corporation, the worlds leading provider of hosted IT business management software, today announced that it will launch the first, fully-translated version of its software in German later this year. The company also announced that it has entered a distribution agreement with acmeo cloud-distribution GmbH & Co. KG, a leading distributor of software-as-a-service (SaaS), cloud-based solutions for IT service providers, to sell, service and support Autotask software in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Germany is the fourth largest economy in the world and one of the strongest markets for technology products and services in Europe. We are delighted to be able to localize Autotask to better serve our existing customers here and to partner with acmeo to grow and support the IT channel in Germany, said Mark Cattini, Autotask president and CEO.

Autotask, which has active users in 53 countries around the world, cited a Forrester Research, Inc., report projecting Germany as the largest market in Europe for IT consulting services at an estimated 16B in 2011, and the second largest for IT outsourcing services valued at an additional 12B.1

Autotask software is specifically designed to automate and optimize business processes for IT service providers by integrating critical business systems in a single, cloud-based application and providing real-time reporting and service delivery intelligence. Users typically experience significant, measurable improvements in resource utilization, profitability and ROI within the first month after implementation.

We are very happy that we have discovered Autotask. It is the perfect solution for optimising and expanding our business, said Maximilian Pfister, General Manager of niteflite networxx, GmbH, in Feldafing, Germany. It helped us a lot, keeping track of the time spent solving customers issues. In just one month we raised the amount of billable time by more than 20%. Autotask also brings more transparency for our clients because they can see in real-time what is happening with their service requests.

acmeo cloud-distribution specializes in helping IT solutions providers create and deploy cloud-based managed services to support their end clients businesses, including remote monitoring and management of servers and desktops, online backup and disaster recovery, antivirus protection, email programs and other services. Unlike traditional services which are billed as delivered on an hourly basis, or by project type or size, managed services are typically billed at a flat monthly rate. This provides a predictable, recurring revenue stream for service providers, and a lower overall cost for end clients and their businesses.

Autotask is a perfect complement to acmeos current product offerings because it provides a central business management platform for our customers and integrates easily with the cloud-based systems and tools they use to service their clients, said Henning Meyer, managing director and CEO of acmeo. Registrations for our first educational webinar in Germany with Autotask attracted more than 100 IT service providers, and there is a tremendous need for a German language version of Autotask available with local support.

In Hanover for acmeos Autotask user meeting, Mark Banfield, Autotask Managing Director International, said, Working with acmeo to ramp up and support their operations has been very rewarding. Everyone in the acmeo organization is committed to ensuring our customers success, and the success of the IT channel in Germany, and we confident that our relationship will help them do just that.
