Hosting.coms Intersite Cross Connect Solution Provides Reliable, Secure and Scalable Private Data Transport

Denver, CO (PRWEB) March 17, 2011

Hosting.com, the leading provider of cloud hosting and recovery services, today announced the availability of its Intersite Cross Connect(ICC) solution. Hosting.com developed the ICC solution to support customers with high volume or time-sensitive replication requirements and latency or jitter-sensitive applications.

For many companies, developing infrastructures to have zero downtime is both cost prohibitive and resource restricted; however, business continuity and disaster recovery solutions continue to be listed as one of the highest priorities by IT executives. ICC can help companies meet a critical component of their BCDR plans reliable, private transport between servers and datacenters for continuity and failover purposes. When data moves between Hosting.com datacenters, ICC guarantees the data is secure, the connection is reliable, and the service is fast and scalable.

ICC is ideal for businesses with large-scale replication solutions, data migrations and backups, regulatory requirements, and latency sensitive applications. ICC is a necessity as businesses continue to virtualize and use computing resources in multiple geographic locations.

Gabe Grice, Hosting.com Product Manager, commented, While it is possible to utilize a public internet connection between datacenter locations, the public internet is not as reliable or secure as a private connection. Mission-critical applications and regulated data and storage files should utilize private data transport to eliminate the availability and security risks of being on the public internet.

Hosting.coms unique connectivity between geographically-dispersed datacenters and Cloud Super Sites has made it a destination for companies seeking datacenter interconnectivity and redundant cloud-based solutions. In addition, the ability to quickly scale redundant, always on solutions in as little as 48 hours recently drew a fast-growth, enterprise-lending SaaS provider to Hosting.com. This companys cloud solution is widely used by mortgage banks, lenders and service providers and utilizes the ICC service to connect their database servers between two Hosting.com Cloud Super Sites. The secure and reliable ICC solution guarantees they can quickly add new customers and that their customers can access their mission-critical SaaS application at all times.

Darrell Hyde, Hosting.com Director of Network Security and Engineering, added, ICC is based on a feature called MPLS Circuit Cross Connect that is supported on our Juniper EX series switches. In essence, the Circuit Cross Connect emulates a traditional leased line service like a T1 or DS3 with a fraction of the provisioning time, and far more flexible capacity. Whereas traditional telco services can take 30-45 days for provisioning, Hosting.com can provision new ICC services and adjust capacity on existing ICC installations in as little as 48 hours.

Hosting.com recently released the 2011 Cloud Trends Report and Best Practices Report which indicated BCDR is driving explosive growth in cloud computing during the next 18 months.

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.

Dealer Performance Group Selects ProviDyn for Microsoft SBS and Private Cloud Services

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 01, 2012

ProviDyn, a provider of IT support, strategy and services for small and medium-sized businesses, announced today that it was recently selected by Dealer Performance Group (DPG), a finance and insurance agency providing automotive benefits,services, and F&I/ compliance training to over 600 automotive dealerships in the Southeast, to evaluate and make recommendations for the agencys network infrastructure.

Working with other managed service providers left DPG with a network built on disparate systems and support that was unreliable and slow. Frustrated with this outcome, the agency enlisted ProviDyn to conduct an in-depth evaluation of its technology needs from top to bottom and make recommendations for improvements. After a thorough assessment, ProviDyn recommended Microsoft Small Business Server (SBS) as an all-in-one network solution that would give the agency access to enterprise-class server technology at an affordable cost. In addition, ProviDyn migrated DPG to a private cloud, giving the agency the added bonus of cost effectively accessing and sharing information.

ProviDyn was able to come in, quickly understand our business and make recommendations that would meet our immediate and long-term needs, said Hal Schmidt, CFO of Dealer Performance Group. The combination of Microsoft SBS and the private cloud allowed us to move past the infrastructure issues we were facing and gave us the peace of mind to focus on the business while knowing our technology needs were being handled by ProviDyn, a partner we could trust.

Microsofts SBS is an ideal solution for small businesses facing the day-to-day challenges of growing while also maintaining a reliable IT infrastructure with limited IT knowledge, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. For Dealer Performance Group specifically, SBS allowed them to gain the major components of a corporate infrastructure without the time and cost they would have spent otherwise.

Atlanta Humane Society Gains Flexibility and Improves Collaboration with ProviDyn"s Private Cloud Services

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 29, 2012

ProviDyn, a provider of IT support, managed and cloud services for small and medium-sized businesses, announced today that its client, the Atlanta Humane Society, has decided to move its existing managed services to ProviDyns private cloud. This builds on ProviDyns existing partnership with the Atlanta Humane Society which included managed services, application and IP telephony support, as well as vendor management for both Atlanta Humane Society locations.

The Atlanta Humane Society, Atlantas oldest private non-profit animal welfare organization, expanded its reach in December 2011 by opening a second location. After consulting with ProviDyn, the Atlanta Humane Society decided centralizing its technology infrastructure and applications would provide increased capabilities and the advantage of unified communication between facilities. As a result, employees and executives are able to seamlessly collaborate across locations, accessing systems and maintaining capabilities from any Atlanta Humane Society facility.

ProviDyn has been an extension of our team and an invaluable partner in helping manage the technology needs for our business, said Chris Slee, Vice President of Finance for Atlanta Humane Society. After opening our second location, ProviDyn made the recommendation that a private cloud would give us more flexibility and enhance collaboration across the organization.

This is a wonderful opportunity to continue supporting the Atlanta Humane Society in its mission to prevent neglect, abuse, cruelty and exploitation of animals, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. As with many other non-profit organizations, the Atlanta Humane Society is extremely budget conscious. Being receptive to new solutions such as a private cloud, can bring tremendous benefits, including reliability and enhanced security, at a reasonable cost.

ProviDyn Doubles Data Center Capacity to Meet High Demand for Private Cloud Services

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 25, 2012

ProviDyn, a provider of IT support, strategy and managed services, announces it has doubled its data center footprint with additional rack space to meet the growing demand for private cloud services. This expansion mirrors the increase in the adoption of cloud services by small and medium-sized (SMB) businesses looking to benefit from IT services typically out of budget for smaller companies — at a lower cost and with greater efficiency.

ProviDyn’s private cloud is hosted in a tier 4 SSAE 16 Type II (formerly SAS 70) audited data center which features: fully redundant power through a dedicated grid, 36 generators and 16 independent UPS systems, fully monitored cooling systems, internal environmental protections against fire and water damage, 24×7 monitoring and support, advanced biometric physical access controls and a hardened facility rated against external environmental threats. ProviDyn customizes its private cloud solution for each client based on factors such as industry, growth rate and the need for scalability. Unlike many service providers, ProviDyns cloud is proprietary and dedicated, allowing its clients more control over data, security and compliance.

The expansion of our data center footprint is indicative of how SMBs are beginning to warm up to private cloud services as a smart way to manage technology, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. The cloud makes sense for most businesses that truly dont need to operate and manage their own IT systems. The flexibility, option to scale as you go, pay only for what you need and many other benefits make the private cloud a great option for most SMBs.

ProviDyns Private Cloud Benefits:

Remote Access – Access to files, applications and data from anywhere, anytime.

Hosting of Critical Business Applications – All business applications are automatically updated and running at peak performance.

Security Encryption and expert firewall management provides a deep layer of security for critical information and systems.

Scalability Priced to fit current needs with the flexibility to quickly and easily expand or contract as the business changes, and without downtime or capital expenditure.

Backup and Restoration Automatic replication and back up of all data, applications and systems.

ProviDyn"s Private Cloud Improves Collaboration, Drives Efficiency for The Connell Group

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 28, 2012

ProviDyn, a provider of IT support, strategy and services for small and medium-sized businesses, announced today that The Connell Group has decided to extend its existing managed services contract by migrating to ProviDyns private cloud. Based in New Jersey, The Connell Group is a market research consultancy that provides strategic research and marketing consulting services to a host of industries including consumer packaged goods, pharmaceuticals, retail and electronics.

Since 2008, The Connell Group has relied on ProviDyn to meet its day-to-day IT services and support needs. However, with employees spanning multiples states, ProviDyn recommended the firm migrate to the private cloud for increased efficiency and a more cohesive workforce. Leveraging ProviDyns private cloud will give the firm access to updated technology and allow employees to more easily collaborate as if they were in the same office, when actually they operate from disparate locations across the U.S.

Weve had a successful, long-standing partnership with ProviDyn, said Sean Connell, founder of The Connell Group. Their strategic recommendation to consider a private cloud was something we could trust, knowing that it will scale to meet our current and future technology needs, increase efficiency and make collaboration among our employees seamless.

With a widely dispersed workforce, ProviDyns private cloud was an ideal match for The Connell Group, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. Small and medium-sized businesses often find and employ talent from multiple geographic locations but still need to run smoothly and present a unified front. Having the ability to collaborate, share information and access technology among employees by utilizing the cloud, makes benefiting from the best talent, even if it is remote, possible.

About The Connell Group

Our focus is on funding and guiding new entrepreneurs, leaving little time for IT strategy or support, said Ted Justiss, Principal of W3. ProviDyns private cloud allows us to maintain that focus and gives us the peace of mind that, at the end of the day, the individual IT needs of our companies dont interfere with productivity or success.

Technology should drive business growth, not hinder progress, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. As an Atlanta-based company, we are looking forward to working with W3 and supporting their investment in nurturing new companies in Georgia.

Partnership Against Domestic Violence Benefits from ProviDyns Private Cloud, Relocates Headquarters with Ease

(PRWEB) September 28, 2012

ProviDyn, a provider of IT support, strategy and services for small and medium-sized businesses, announced today that its longstanding client, Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV), has relocated its headquarters with minimal downtime, taking advantage of ProviDyns private cloud. When migrating to the cloud almost a year ago, PADV immediately realized the benefits of lower cost and increased efficiency but did not foresee the positive impact it would have on moving the organizations headquarters.

Small and medium-sized businesses are often forced to relocate when they outgrow office space or need to consolidate multiple offices into one location. For any growing organization, this can be a stressful time that presents logistical challenges and a decrease in productivity associated with moving and reconnecting servers, computers and other equipment. For PADV, ProviDyns private cloud eliminated the need for physical relocation of its infrastructure and allowed employees to remotely access data and continue working with ease throughout the move.

Relocating is a big decision and makes a significant impact on any small business, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. With a private cloud, organizations like PADV are able to handle this challenge without the added stress of moving equipment and preserving data.

Women and children across metro Atlanta rely on PADV 24/7 for emergency intervention, so it was imperative that we maintain access to critical data and continue operating while relocating our headquarters, said Meagan Fulmer, president and CEO of PADV. With ProviDyns private cloud, we avoided the hassle of moving equipment and worrying that our employees would be unable to work. This made a big impact on the success of our relocation.

About PADV

PADV is the largest and one of the oldest nonprofit domestic violence agencies in Georgia. Serving metro Atlanta since 1975, PADV helps to transform the lives of approximately 18,000 women and children every year through emergency intervention, violence prevention and long-term advocacy. PADVs mission is to end the crime of intimate partner violence and empower its survivors. Visit padv.org or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Adult Primary Care Associates Transition EHR and Practice Management Systems Backed by ProviDyns Private Cloud

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 22, 2012

Adult Primary Care Associates, a physician practice specializing in internal medicine and preventive healthcare, has selected ProviDyn for private cloud services. Earlier this year, the practice enlisted ProviDyn to determine if its existing technology infrastructure could support a move of Allscripts electronic health records (EHR) and practice management systems to cloud services.

Today, with financial incentives and stimulus stemming from the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) and Meaningful Use, an increasing number of healthcare providers are moving to electronic records to capture patient information, track and report clinical conditions and improve performance. However, many dont realize that a solid and reliable infrastructure is critical for a successful transition to electronic records.

Adult Primary Care Associates wanted to take advantage of the benefits of upgrading their Allscripts technology but had an aging infrastructure that could potentially cause problems in its efforts to migrate to the latest platform. ProviDyn conducted a thorough evaluation and recommended that the practice consider migrating to a private cloud versus the more expensive option of purchasing all new equipment. With cloud services, the practice can move forward knowing that its infrastructure is able support growth to the EHR and practice management systems.

With the private cloud, Adult Primary Care Associates is able to upgrade its practice management processes and also take its infrastructure to a new level, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. Taking the added step of ensuring that the infrastructure and existing equipment can handle going electronic is often a key element of a successful implementation.

We had reached a point with our existing infrastructure, that we were faced with major hardware improvements in order to be able to keep up with continuous upgrades to our software, said Julie Clemons, Practice Manager of Adult Primary Care Associates. ProviDyn came in and conducted a thorough evaluation. Their recommendations for upgrading our infrastructure were strategic and cost effective.

About Adult Primary Care Associates

Adult Primary Care Associates has assembled a highly trained, professional team to address the health care needs of men and women throughout their adult lives. In doing so, Adult Primary Care Associates provides timely preventive care, including well woman, and the diagnosis and treatment of internal medicine issues.
