The Planet announced that it will now be offering solution providers the ability to sell cloud-based virtual server architectures to smaller customers looking for extra processing power without the need to invest in more servers than they really need.
The Planet Server Cloud provides a combination of Intel Nehalem-based Dell servers, Oracle Sun storage, with Cisco and Juniper networking, with virtualization provided by the Canonical Ubuntu Server’s KVM hypervisor. “The result is a cloud-based, virtual server offering which helps smaller business and Web-based businesses gain access to consistent high-performance and dedicated virtual resources”, said Carl Meadows, senior product manager for cloud services at The Planet.
