Press Release Source: CloudSigma On Tuesday September 27, 2011, 9:00 am EDT
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)– CloudSigma, the only international, pure-play Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider, today announced its launch into the U.S. at the Hosting and Cloud Transformation Summit after repeated requests from European and North American customers and prospects. Unlike current offerings, CloudSigmaâs IaaS offering is a flexible, open platform where the customer is given complete control of their software and data with total transparency of service usage. Customers also benefit from access to a range of unbundled cloud resources, such as storage, CPU, RAM and bandwidth, which can be purchased and provisioned on a utility basis.
CloudSigmaâs highly-available, flexible cloud servers and cloud hosting services are located in both Switchâs Las Vegas SuperNAP campus and Interxionâs European Cloud Hubs, giving customers access to the worldâs largest end-user and business markets. With this launch, CloudSigma is well positioned to meet the IaaS requirements for companies wishing to deploy private, public or hybrid clouds in both North America and/or Europe. Customers benefit from being able to quickly provision infrastructure when required, which improves time-to-market and delivers on-demand applications and services to markets in an extremely agile manner.
when using incumbent IaaS offerings, many companies who would like to migrate their services to the cloud, or from one cloud service to another, repeatedly encounter barriers for on and off ramping data. many are run from a traditional web hosting approach with a high contention of resources such as CPU, plus artificial restrictions on various components, including operating systems, server sizes and networking settings. CloudSigma takes the opposite approach, giving customers full control over the software and network layers, enabling them to use any AMD/Intel compatible operating systems and applications with full-root and administrative access. Customers can architect an elastic cloud infrastructure thatâs highly tailored to their individual business needs, no matter their particular performance and availability requirements.
“CloudSigma provides us with a great level of flexibility,â said Viktor Petersson, CEO, WireLoad, Inc. âOur email migration tool, YippieMove, requires us to scale from a dozen to hundreds of servers rapidly. This is more or less impossible to do with physical hardware. With CloudSigma’s platform however, we can both save money and offer a better product to our users.”
CloudSigma also delivers transparent and efficient resource purchasing. many IaaS providers charge for a minimum full hour no matter how long a cloud server is actually running and bundle resources into fixed server packages. CloudSigma, however, bills customers by each resource separately based on usage, with the option to subscribe or pay-as-you-go in short 5-minute billing increments, preventing customers from purchasing resources they donât necessarily need. CloudSigma also lets customers bill through cloud broker dealer Strategic Blue, where they can benefit from unified cross-cloud billing, discounted monthly rates and tailored credit terms.
âThe IaaS market is comprised of cloud providers that donât want to disrupt their legacy business, making it impossible for them to offer a platform that gives customers complete control and flexibility,â said CloudSigma CEO Patrick Baillie. âWe developed CloudSigma as a pure-play cloud IaaS platform to address that customer need directly and let companies pick and choose the exact resources necessary to support their business requirements. the end result is a freedom-through- technology IaaS approach that delivers unparalleled pricing options and performance, and gives customers flexibility and control over their data, billing and resources.â
