Delivers New Solution to Echo360, Nuvolus, Ventraq, Voices Heard Media Ashburn, VA – June 2, 2009 - Carpathia Hosting, the leading provider of enterprise managed hosting services for government agencies and businesses, announced today it has been selected by organizations such as Echo360, Nuvolus, Ventraq, Voices Heard Media and a leading federal systems integrator to provide customized managed cloud solutions using its Carpathia AlwaysOn/InstantOn™ hybrid model.
AlwaysOn/InstantOn is the first managed cloud solution designed for enterprises, differentiating Carpathia Hosting from industry competitors. Components of the AlwaysOn/InstantOn model are highly flexible and can be used to design custom solutions to meet the specific needs of individual organizations. Already, multiple enterprises and government agencies have deployed the solution within their enterprises.
Echo360
Echo360 sought a managed solution that would allow its higher education customers to have a reliable and stable hosting environment for on-demand access to university lectures. The customized solution designed by Carpathia Hosting utilizes Carpathia AlwaysOn™ capacity for the predictable portion of Echo360’s workload, and then will provide Carpathia InstantOn™ to allow bursting into the Carpathia Hosting storage and compute cloud in the future when usage peaks.
“Carpathia Hosting evaluated the entire problem we were trying to solve. The one-to-one design support provided by Carpathia Hosting resulted in a solution with the reliability of dedicated resources, and in the future, the cost savings associated with the benefits of a ‘burstable’ cloud computing model,” said Mark Jones, President of Echo360.
Nuvolus
Delivering virtual desktop solutions to the healthcare industry presents many challenges. Not only does Nuvolus have to ensure compliance with regulatory standards such as HIPAA, it also must achieve a cost model that drives down the IT cost for healthcare providers. Nuvolus selected the Carpathia AlwaysOn/InstantOn solution to meet these challenges. By using dedicated and cloud services tied together with Carpathia Cloud Orchestration™, Nuvolus has been able to create a compelling solution for its clients.
“We originally looked at deploying in a public cloud computing provider’s infrastructure, but quickly came to the conclusion that this was sub-optimal in terms of price and the support we require to deliver the mission-critical services our customers demand. With Carpathia Hosting, we have engineered a horizontally-scaled infrastructure solution, taking advantage of cloud-bursting to dynamically add more resources as we need them. By leveraging the blended solution, we can also take advantage of additional services such as managed backup, data recovery and storage,” said Kevin Ellis, CEO of Nuvolus.
Ventraq
Ventraq required a solution that could scale to meet the demands of high volumes of data processing over a low latency network. By using the AlwaysOn/InstantOn platform, Carpathia Hosting was able to develop a solution that met this key requirement in a matter of days.
“Our customers have strict requirements for security and availability of our mission critical application. By blending dedicated infrastructure with Carpathia Hosting’s cloud services, we were able to take advantage of its ‘Cloud Orchestration’ technology to allow our dedicated machines to leverage cloud storage and for our web traffic to be distributed across dedicated and cloud servers,” commented John Louglin, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Mediation for Ventraq.
Voices Heard Media
Using Apache JMeter, Carpathia Hosting delivered an elastic testing cloud for Voices Heard Media, allowing load testing of thousands of simultaneous users against Voices Heard Media’s environment. In order to deliver this capability, the solution dynamically allocated cloud compute resources to scale to the required testing requirements. The process was controlled from a single JMeter console also running in Carpathia Hosting’s cloud infrastructure.
“We had evaluated several load testing solutions before selecting Carpathia Hosting. We ultimately chose Carpathia because we were impressed with how quickly the solution was deployed, the per CPU hour pricing and access to Carpathia Hosting’s engineering team to provide support during the test period. This allowed us to focus on the development of test scripts, knowing that the infrastructure was fully-managed,” said Curtis Jones, CTO of Voices Heard Media.
Federal Systems Integrator
When this federal systems integrator required more storage, Carpathia Hosting’s cloud storage solution was selected, providing access to petabytes of capacity on-demand where the federal agency only pays for what is used.
What initially began as a simple storage solution, quickly evolved to include additional cloud services, including virtual data recovery, where images of servers are replicated to the cloud for on-demand provisioning at a later time should a disaster occur. This approach drove significant cost out of a traditional data recovery solution and provided rapid deployment to meet the customers’ timeline.
