Flexiant has completed the re-write of its public cloud platform with the launch of FlexiScale 2.0, which lets users grow their installations from one server to a thousand servers in just seconds. “Our existing FlexiScale customers are very important to us and we know they will love the improvements and new features of FlexiScale 2.0 that the Extility technology suite has enabled,” Flexiant founder Tony Lucas said in a statement.

FlexiScale 2.0 gives start-ups and small and medium-sized businesses the flexibility to manage streaming video, social networking, Software as a Service, and a wealth of other applications.

According to the Whir “Supporting Windows Server and all common versions of Linux, FlexiScale 2.0 lets customers run as many virtual dedicated servers as they want on a pay-as-you-go basis, and they can be based upon either an OS or appliance images from Flexiant’s own library, a custom image, or a clone of an existing customer server. Flexiant’s advanced storage system eliminates the long OS installation cycle — servers are available in seconds no matter how it is built. Servers in the virtual data center can be built either through Flexiant’s web-based user interface or via an API that gives users flexibility in how they can control servers.”
