Hosting.com now has the ability for customers to park virtual machines within its Cloud Enterprise solution. Cloud parking is the latest buzz from Hosting.com that makes cloud hosting cost-effective and simple for VMware customers to upload, park and manage their virtual machines in a service provider cloud.
Fred Strelzoff, Hosting.com Cloud Product Manager, added, “There is a huge demand for customers seeking to store all the system state information of a virtual machine in a “parked” state for use at a later time. The largest use case we see for this service today is for business continuance services. Parking allows customers to park a warm copy of a virtual machine that can be activated within a minute or two in the event of a disaster.”
