CipherCloud Experiences Explosive Growth

(The Hosting News) – After Namecheap, the leading domain name registrar, web host, and SSL certificate provider, stepped up against SOPA and PIPA in 2011, hundreds of new companies joined Namecheap’s family, including the Drupal Association, which has elected to move its SSL certificate to Namecheap.

Namecheap has donated over $64,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation to help the organization fight for our digital rights. Namecheap also blacked out its front page on January 18th, urging US customers to petition their government officials to ask them to shelve both acts in the House and in the Senate.

“Namecheap is proud to stand behind our intellectual freedoms on the Internet,” Namecheap CEO Richard Kirkendall said. “We continue to support the fight against overbroad, ill-considered legislation. We strive to support the open web and build awareness around issues that may curb the liberties that serve as the foundation of the Internet.”

In the last week of December alone, Namecheap’s stance against all overbroad, ill-considered legislation and keep the web open and free resulted in over 80,000 inbound domain name transfers in addition to thousands of new hosting customers and SSL certificate purchases. In early January, the Drupal Association joined the Namecheap family, and Namecheap is pleased to welcome them.

“The Drupal Association is pleased to switch the Drupal.org and Drupal Association SSL certificates from GoDaddy. We received new certificates from Namecheap because we value their commitment to the Electronic Frontier Foundation and their stance against SOPA and their desire to keeping an open web,” said Jacob Redding, Executive Director of the Drupal Association, which hosts DrupalCon. “It is important for our organization to align with others who share our community’s values. With almost 7 million unique visitors a month, a thriving developer community and thousands of registrations a year to one of the largest open source tech conferences, DrupalCon, our partners are hugely important to our project’s success.”

Namecheap is pleased to continue its relationship with the Drupal Association and urges everyone to continue standing against SOPA and PIPA to keep the web open and free.

(The Hosting News) – The lines between physical and virtual IT resources are being erased with the introduction of SoftLayer Flex Images. Flex Images allow users to capture, replicate, and store an image of a cloud or dedicated server, and then deploy the image on either type of computing environment. Capabilities traditionally in the domain of virtual infrastructure, including the ability to quickly clone and reload servers, are extended to dedicated servers, along with cross-platform compatibility and simple migration between physical and virtual environments.

“Flex Images provide our customers with unprecedented flexibility and scalability,” said Simon West, Chief Marketing Officer for SoftLayer. “The ability to provision and automate server images seamlessly between cloud and dedicated computing environments empowers users to easily build out their IT environments while being able to quickly meet changing requirements. Our customers can focus on the purpose of their application and then on the right technology solution—with the freedom to move between or integrate technologies as needed.”

Flex Images is a key differentiator for SoftLayer—like the company’s network, portal and automated platform—available to all customers. These new capabilities help showcase SoftLayer’s ongoing innovation efforts, which help blur the distinctions between cloud and dedicated computing environments while offering customers the highest possible levels of control and scalability.

“Flex Images have been a massive time saver,” said Aaron McKee, VP of engineering for Struq, an early beta customer. “We love being able to effortlessly scale and manage our infrastructure. This really sets SoftLayer apart from the competition because traditional cloud systems just don’t have this type of flexibility and performance. The feature has cut down new server deployment by several hours per server, which has made recent expansion bursts at Struq much easier. This is definitely a better way to deploy and manage IT resources in the cloud.”

Key features and benefits of Flex Images include:

• Universal images that can be used interchangeably on dedicated or cloud systems
• Unified image library for archiving, managing, sharing, and publishing images
• Greater flexibility and higher scalability
• Rapid and easy migration
• Available via SoftLayer’s management portal and API

Flex Images is available immediately to SoftLayer customers as a public beta. General availability is expected in the second quarter. For more information, please visit www.softlayer.com/FlexImageBeta.

SoftLayer Blurs Resource Lines with Flex Images

(The Hosting News) – Everyone has heard the many promises of the cloud and its game-changing, business-building advantages. While most CIOs today would agree that the cloud, in one form or another, will be a part of their technological future, they are still hesitant when it comes to an adoption strategy in some of the areas where rewards can be greatest. While most IT managers certainly recognize the pros, they also see the cons, and very few concrete answers for resolving those cons have been presented to date. That’s why Logicalis, an international IT solution provider (http://www.us.logicalis.com), has put together four of the top reasons IT pros should embrace the cloud, the potential downsides, and what can be done to mitigate risk in each of those scenarios.

“Moving data to the cloud can be a cost-effective path to better application platforms, higher data accessibility and faster data processing,” says Terry Flood, president and CEO of Logicalis. “But to avoid pitfalls like network latency, synchronization and security, CIOs need to arm themselves with the best cloud partners and the right tools to create the kind of solution that is tailored for their specific organization.”

Pros, Cons & Risk Reducers for CIOs Using the Cloud

1.    True Data Accessibility: With the buzz about BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) in the workplace today, it only stands to reason that data must become more accessible, and the cloud is a perfect way to tie together a host of disparate devices without the headache of supporting each one independently. However, this can leave the organization’s data exposed – it’s out there in the cloud and available via a wide range of devices, which forces IT pros to consider data breaches and losses they previously didn’t even dare to imagine. The key to resolving this is in deciding what data to make available on multiple devices, moving only certain data sets into the cloud in the first place. And, of equal importance, IT pros will have to choose their cloud provider partners more carefully than ever before. Some of the larger public cloud providers, for example, have only just begun to implement firewalls in front of customers’ data. So what if a customer requires multiple firewalls or other security features to safely keep its private information out of the public eye? There are public cloud providers with these features in place today; the key is in asking the right questions and choosing a partner wisely from the start.

2.    More Powerful Platforms: Moving to the cloud means access to the highest quality platforms – things like orchestration, Platform as a Service (PaaS), and common services – often at a fraction of the cost of procuring them independently, since the cost is shared by many. These platforms allow developers and testers to focus on value-added work rather than struggling with setting up environments. The problem IT pros have with running applications in the cloud is the possibility for latency or performance issues when large data sets are forced to squeeze through a too-slow pipeline. There are solutions, though, such as using virtual desktops in the cloud. The key to avoiding latency issues when running applications in the cloud is to keep the applications and data as close to each other as possible – which likely means side-by-side in the cloud itself. Secondly, IT experts are concerned that their existing applications either won’t fit into PaaS solutions or can’t be deployed through orchestration. But these are ideas that need a second look. When deploying an application to the cloud, there are now a wide range of options from orchestration tools to create and configure exact application blueprints automatically to PaaS systems that will run standard Java or .NET applications with only minor modifications.

3.    The Freshness Factor: How fresh is data that resides in the cloud? Sounds more like a grocery store question than a technology one. But it’s an important consideration for IT pros as they move their data to the cloud. There’s a big difference between viewing end-of-the-month data in the cloud and accessing live point-of-sale data in the cloud seconds after it was entered. This is one reason some CIOs have shied away from the cloud – the need for instant availability of data, particularly in real-time situations – can make a move to the cloud seem impossible. The truth is, the cloud can handle scenarios where freshness of the data is an absolute requirement, but special steps need to be taken to ensure that data is there when it is needed. One promising way to ensure that freshness is using a NoSQL database with an in-memory data grid to keep all the data that has to remain fresh in memory. In the case of multiple data sites reporting to the cloud, a remote mirroring system may need to be implemented to securely synch data on the fly. These kinds of solutions are already being used successfully by the military for battlefield logistics as well as by banks and traders for near-instantaneous transactions, but they have far more widespread uses that will soon be discovered and employed as CIOs begin to explore options such as these to ensure data freshness – even in critical-use situations – in the cloud.

4.    Data Crunching Horsepower: When it comes to using applications on large data sets, the more robust the hardware, the better. This is a clear advantage that the cloud has to offer. When CIOs are tasked with determining in-house capacity, they are often forced to over-design their systems to meet the peak demands of a few specific applications. Moving to the cloud allows companies to tap the additional computing horsepower they need when they need it, and not pay for it when they don’t. The problem CIOs worry about is that, at the virtualization layer, their machines may not be able to handle the workload associated with processing these incredible amounts of data. A solution, however, lies in utilizing the elastic computing power of the cloud and leveraging monitoring tools and infrastructure that can respond on the fly to increased workloads by increasing capacity. Furthermore, large batch jobs can be sped up by splitting the job into many smaller parts and completing the workload significantly faster.

Logicalis CEO to Debate Moving Data to the Cloud

(The Hosting News) – GalaxyVisions and ColoGuard, the New York region’s most affordable and customer-focused providers of Web hosting and colocation solutions, announced today that conservation initiatives are paying off. Even with this winter’s unseasonably warm temperatures, air conditioner usage at their shared data center has been reduced by 75%, generating savings for customers as well as the environment.

Under the program announced in late 2010, cool air from the outside is drawn inside the companies’ 15,000-square-foot data center by high-powered fans. The air passes through an advanced filtration system before it is used for cooling the thousands of servers housed at the facility. Because temperatures average around 30 degrees in Brooklyn during the winter months, power-hungry air conditions can take an extended break.

“Even with spring-like temperatures, we’re seeing huge advantages to our green campaign,” said Ruben Magurdumov, VP of Operations. “We’re not only reducing our carbon footprint but also generating real savings that we can invest in our business and pass on to our customers in the form of the most affordable rates in the industry.”

A 2007 Environmental Protection Agency report found that from 2001 to 2006, data centers nationwide consumed about 61 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, or 1.5% of the U.S. total. That was double the electricity used by data centers in 2000, and the agency predicted the number would double again to 150 kWh by 2011 unless action was taken. That would amount to a $7.4 billion annual electricity bill. It is estimated that 70% of energy used at a data center is from infrastructure, and nearly half of that number is used to cool equipment to ensure optimal temperatures and airflow.

GalaxyVisions immediately began analyzing its operations and put into action several initiatives to benefit both customers and the environment. With the changes, it has not only reduced its electricity bill and usage but also the amount of carbon pumped into the atmosphere and the strain the facility places on two electrical grids. At the same time, it’s reduced the average temperature of the facility from 75 degrees to 64 degrees, which allows equipment to run at optimal performance.

“These changes are a perfect example of a win-win situation,” said Magurdumov. “The business and customers realize savings along with the community and the planet.”

GalaxyVisions announced the initiative in the fall of 2010. Last spring, ColoGuard was formed to focus on providing colocation services. Both companies operate out of the same data center, which is minutes from Manhattan in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.

ColoGuard and GalaxyVisions have also taken a number of other actions to preserve the environment, including increased use of virtualization and the deployment of highly efficient servers.

About GalaxyVisions

GalaxyVisions was founded in 2003 and is a privately held managed services provider located in the heart of Brooklyn, NY. It provides affordable hosting solutions for companies of all sizes.
