May 14, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Server virtualization software provider Virtual Iron Software (virtualiron.com) announced on Monday that Web hosting provider Xcalibre Communications (xcalibre.co.uk) has selected its virtualization and software platform to create an advanced hosting infrastructure.
Virtual Iron says the software is helping XCalibre to increase service levels, simplify infrastructure management and reduce operational costs across its entire ISP infrastructure.
XCalibre has also just released a limited beta of its FlexiScale platform, a new outsourced infrastructure service which many industry watchers expect to compete directly with Amazon's EC2, says the company. The Virtual Iron solution is a key component of the FlexiScale offering.
"Virtual Iron is the first server virtualization platform that could satisfy our requirements and it is now turning our vision for a flexible and dynamic IT infrastructure into reality," says Tony Lucas, XCalibre Communications CEO. "We're able to deploy Virtual Iron across our entire ISP infrastructure to increase service levels for both our internal and external customers."
