Cloud Acceleration to Speed Application Performance Across the Internet

Monday, May 17th, 2010

Cloud Leverage today announces the availability of its Cloud Acceleration solution that provides the global infrastructure needed by all enterprises to increase revenue through improved Internet application reliability and performance.

“Dynamic content and media are pushing the limits of the Internet, which was originally designed for research, not performance,” said Jonathan Hoppe, Cloud Leverage’s president and CTO. “Today, businesses of any size need to leverage the Internet’s efficiencies for a wide variety of uses — VoIP, e-commerce, SaaS, interactive e-learning, live broadcasts, secure operational and financial transactions, and the list goes on. All of this requires dynamic, interactive content to be delivered efficiently, securely and quickly because customers will abandon poorly performing online sites and applications. That simply equates to lost revenues — no matter the industry or type of business.”

Marketwire stated “Cloud Leverage Cloud Acceleration offers greater performance benefits than typical Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). The solution does not rely on edge caching to improve application response time across the Internet. Edge caching is only effective for entire objects that can be stored close to the user but falls short with dynamic or live content. Cloud Leverage’s solution quantifiably boosts the performance of any website, as well as applications such as: e-commerce, SaaS, VoIP, CIFS, interactive marketing, e-learning, rich media, video conferencing, online television, and content aggregation.”

Who is Cloud.com?

Monday, May 17th, 2010

VMOps is rebranding itself as Cloud.Com.  The two year old cloud software company decided to brand the new name and new strategy strategy three months after the company closed an $11 million financing round headed by Index Ventures.

Cloud.com plans to let Web hosts and other service providers sell clouds under the new buzzword Infrastructure As A Service (IAAS), also letting companies define resources as clouds in the cloud.

Here’s a question? How much did cloud.com cost? I find it very hard to believe a URL like cloud.com was just sitting at Network Solutions for so long not doing anything. I personally thing that having Cloud.com on your business card is much better than having VMOps on it, what do you think?

“MonitorGrid is brilliantly simple to use, and provides me with a great feature set,” said Esteban Garcia, Partner at M2E Solutions. “Because it is cloud based, I didn’t need to acquire any additional hardware, and I also don’t need to provide resources for, or worry about the system administration of it. We were up and running in minutes, with no training required.”

“The combination of an easy-to-install service, an easy-to-use web app, extremely competitive pricing, and two free servers for every account makes MonitorGrid an ideal solution for watching the health of your servers,” said Jason Milgram, Linxter CEO. “Currently, MonitorGrid supports Windows servers, and Linux support will be added in the coming months.”
