managed cloud foundationbe on solid ground – even in the cloud

Beginning with enterprise-class technologies from industry leaders, HOSTING’s cloud-certified engineers design a purpose-built architecture that reduces application provisioning time, provides flexible capacity, shifts the IT heavy lifting to HOSTING’s team of experts, and provides unparalleled security and availability.

hybrid cloudFor organizations with a variety of cloud needs, HOSTING Hybrid Cloud is the answer. Whether legacy applications or hardware requires colocation, you need a dedicated server to meet compliance requirements, or regulatory concerns drive you to private cloud over public cloud, Hybrid fits your needs. Not only does HOSTING Hybrid Cloud enable you to leverage the scalability, availability, and performance that the cloud is known for, but it offers unparalleled flexibility. Unlike other cloud providers, HOSTING has the ability to mix and match server architectures (public cloud, private cloud, dedicated server, colocation) into a unified environment. Built from the ground up to enable easy scaling, patching, failovers, change control and real-time resource adjustments, HOSTING Hybrid Cloud is architected behind a single firewall. This means customers can move any VM to any physical node at any time without the hassle of jumping firewalls or vLANs.

private cloudHOSTING Private Cloud is a VMware-enabled single tenant cloud platform architected for high availability. The platform allows one or more physical servers to be partitioned into multiple self-contained virtual machines, each with its own operating system and set of applications customized to meet customer needs. A private cloud allows companies to leverage the lower price-points and agility associated with virtualization without placing their infrastructure in a shared environment.

public cloudHOSTING’s Public Cloud is a VMware-enabled multi-tenant cloud platform architected for high availability. The platform allows one or more physical servers to be partitioned into multiple self-contained virtual machines, each with its own operating system and set of applications customized to meet customer needs. A public cloud allows companies with budget or resource constraints that would prohibit a dedicated server solution to easily adjust for seasonal fluctuations or special events. There are no predetermined, prepriced packages giving customers the flexibility to configure machines without taking on unnecessary resources and the associated costs.

dedicated serverHOSTING Dedicated Servers is a single-tenant platform that does not share resources with other servers. Our dedicated servers support applications that can’t be virtualized and provide high levels of control, security, and performance. HOSTING dedicated servers can be part of a managed hybrid cloud solution that needs to support legacy applications, must meet regulatory compliance requirements, or has limited in-house IT infrastructure or resources.

colocationHOSTING Colocation offers enterprise-class, N+1 redundant data centers in six geographically diverse locations for customers to house their hardware. Our network connectivity features multiple Tier 1 Gigabit Ethernet connections with redundant routing architecture for hardware failover, as well as uninterruptable power supplies, battery backups, and diesel generators. Each facility is SOC 2 and 3 audited and PCI Level 1 compliant with multiple levels of both physical and network security.
