Hosting.com, a provider of global hosting solutions and services, has introduced CloudNine – a cloud computing environment that provides intuitive, scalable business solutions. Hosting.com's CloudNine provides immediate cloud computing for businesses of all sizes with high availability, dynamic scalability, and reduced compute costs.

 
Hosting.com earlier launched a private CloudNine beta to select businesses and organizations. Organizations that sign up for the beta will receive a production-ready virtual machine in CloudNine that is scalable, flexible and efficient.
 
Many enterprise companies and those in the SMB space are searching for opportunities to partially move their hosted infrastructure into a cloud-platform and others are looking to completely move to a cloud computing infrastructure to capitalize on the advantages cloud computing provides.
 
Through its involvement in the new VMware vCloud initiative, Hosting.com is working with VMware and other leading technology providers to create standard APIs and services to allow organizations of all sizes to seamlessly extend their traditional IT infrastructures into the cloud.
 
Hosting.com also offers private cloud solutions for clients that require a dedicated, single-tenant environment. "Over the past 12 months, Hosting.com has successfully designed and deployed custom Cloud environments that include ESX Clusters with tailored processing, memory and redundant storage for clients seeking greater compute efficiencies," said Jonathan Erwin, EVP, CloudNine sales and marketing. "Client satisfaction and performance on these highly available solutions prompted the acceleration of CloudNine's creation."
 
CloudNine runs on a standards-based architecture utilizing world-class technologies from providers such as VMware, Radware, HP, Fortinet, Cisco (News - Alert) and others. Hosting.com's internal developers and solution architects worked closely with these manufacturers and others to stretch the boundaries of virtualization and provide a client-centric, easy-to-use cloud computing platform.
 
"It is evident that Hosting.com had the end-user in mind when architecting CloudNine. CloudNine provides high availability, scalability, and automation in an optimized virtual environment," said Ilan Kinreich, COO, Radware (News - Alert). "Radware's newly-released Virtual Director will further optimize and automate CloudNine while ensuring Hosting.com continues to provide the industry's best SLAs and Quality of Experience (QoE) to its clients."
