nScaled Opens UK Office to Focus on the EMEA Region

Sausalito, CA (PRWEB) January 27, 2011

nScaled announced today its expansion into the European region with the appointment of industry veteran Michael Evans as Managing Director and the opening of a local UK office. Michael joins nScaled after positions as Managing Director with LexisNexis Asia and Ruleburst EMEA (now part of Oracle).

nScaled has seen significant growth with its’ hybrid cloud data centre solutions in the USA, and counts some of the world’s leading legal, venture capital and professional service firms as existing customers. The ‘hybrid’ cloud differs from the more common ‘public’ clouds with a focus on enterprise IT systems, regulated industry segments and includes both on and off-premise components and software. Importantly for the region, the solution does not contravene European data protection laws and regulations.

Along with the expansion into the EMEA region, the company announced the successful implementation of its solution for UK legal firm Leigh Day and Co, one of the UK’s leading clinical negligence, personal injury, human rights and employment law firms. Through using the nScaled London data centre, Leigh Day and Co has upgraded their backup and disaster recovery solution.

“nScaled is a company in the right place, with the right solution at the right time,” said Michael Evans “Organisations with confidential data and traditional IT systems are as interested in leveraging cloud services as web development teams have been with public cloud services such as Amazon Web Services. nScaled has managed to create a best of breed solution which provides market leading levels of security, is scalable and yet highly cost effective. Its existing client base is a testament to the strength of the offering and its potential within the EMEA region.”

“I am pleased to note the commitment of nScaled to the local market. “stated James Harrison, Head of IT of Leigh Day & Co. “The nScaled solution represents a long term strategic partnership for our firm and having local support is an important part of this relationship.”

Business drivers of explosive data growth, virtualization and cloud computing have created the perfect storm for the move to cloud services. Web applications have led the way with rapid and easy provisioning in public clouds. Conventional IT environments with confidential data subject to regulation and privacy laws represent the next wave of adoption, a far larger market opportunity, and one where nScaled is focused. The growth of hybrid cloud solutions was highlighted by Gartner in its recent top 10 Strategic Technologies for 2011.

The EMEA office will be located at 79 Long Acre, Covent Garden, London, WC2E9NG and sales or partnership enquiries can be directed to sales (at) nscaled (dot) com

Davis Wright Tremaine LLP Selects nScaled for Global Disaster Recovery, Backup and High Availability Services

Sausalito, CA (PRWEB) February 28, 2011

nScaled announced today that Davis Wright Tremaine LLP – a leading law firm with more than 500 attorneys working from nine offices throughout the United States and in Shanghai – has selected the company to provide disaster recovery, backup and high availability services to protect the firms’ global infrastructure. The decision was made after a rigorous selection process by the firms’ internal IT team and executive committee, and as part of an ongoing effort to centralize and modernize IT systems and capabilities worldwide.

The nScaled solution includes the deployment of eleven ‘MicroPod’ cloud appliance devices within each of the firms’ global office locations, onsite installation of software, redundant high speed connectivity to the nScaled Dallas facility and continuous replication of workloads and data. Once implementation is complete, Davis Wright will be able to recover any single failed system within fifteen minutes or less as well as restoring entire data centers from larger regional disasters within hours.

“As part of an overall project to modernize IT, the firm has significantly upgraded its recovery time objectives for core systems,” said Matthew Beland, Network Manager of Davis Wright. “We selected nScaled to provide disaster recovery, backup and high availability because of the completeness of their solution, speed at which we can implement including the replication of significant data volumes and workloads, and their proven track record in the market.”

The firm will be protecting both physical and virtual servers from failure, as well as replicating upwards of 40 terabytes’ of data to both locally deployed mirror servers (MicroPods) and across wide area network links to a central nScaled data center facility. In order to reduce the implementation timeline, physical servers will be shipped during the initial phases of the project for LAN based replication. Beyond disaster recovery, the service is inclusive of backup and high availability of all systems and data.

“We are delighted to have been selected by Davis Wright for this critical business service,” said Mark Hadfield, CEO of nScaled “Their selection of nScaled is further validation of our belief that elastic cloud services have tremendous potential benefit for traditional IT functions beyond the simple deployment of web based applications into public clouds. We are now seeing organizations large and small making the move to elastic infrastructure with economic and functional impact on the entire data center.”

nScaled serves clients from multiple industries including legal, financial services, education and others. Clients range from single office locations with tens of employees, to multinational organizations with thousands. Data centers are available in Dallas, Chicago, and London and the company has plans for further expansion over the coming year.
