(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Cloud computing and managed IT services provider BlueLock (www.bluelock.com) has announced a new set of cloud computing solutions providing a comprehensive suite of Infrastructure-as-a-Service environments to best fit the specific needs of individual applications.
According to its Tuesday announcement, the BlueLock CloudSuite is an array of public and private cloud computing solutions based on VMware’s virtualization technology. The CloudSuite includes public computing options BlueLock vCloud Express, BlueLock Virtual Cloud Professional and BlueLock Virtual Cloud Enterprise that offer self-service and expertly-managed enterprise environments, as well as virtual private cloud solutions, which can be secured on or off-premise.
“As our clients have continued to push us to offer different classes of cloud services, we’ve realized one size does not fit all when it comes to cloud computing,” said BlueLock president and chief executive officer John Qualls said in a statement. “The BlueLock CloudSuite was developed with the understanding that every application has different needs, so rather than force-fitting your application into a cloud, you can pick and choose the right solution for higher efficiency and performance at the right price.”
BlueLock vCloud Express is suited for test and development teams, startup environments as well as departmental needs, with its quick setup and self-service abilities that let clients log in and start testing in minutes without any assistance from BlueLock.
BlueLock Virtual Cloud Professional is for clients who need a production environment hosted and managed by outside professionals. It also provides the additional security features and performance to host important applications.
Offering an even more resilient and scalable cloud hosting environment designed specifically for mission-critical applications, BlueLock Virtual Cloud Enterprise offers life sciences, financial services, government clients with the service they need to to meet strict compliance, performance and disaster recovery requirements.
BlueLock Virtual Private Cloud is the company’s 100-percent virtual, fully-managed, encapsulated private cloud environment. It can be installed at a user’s data center or inside the BlueLock facility. Wherever the cloud is located, it has its own dedicated capacity and security features, but with the ability to burst into the BlueLock Cloud.
“As a top VMware vCloud service provider partner, BlueLock continues to demonstrate that it is innovative and ahead of the curve in understanding their clients’ needs,” VMware Cloud infrastructure and services vice president Dan Chu said in a statement. “The dynamic combination of the industry-leading VMware platform and BlueLock’s secure and reliable cloud hosting and infrastructure expertise provides the confidence needed to run vital applications in the most efficient manner for all types of clients – from developers to Fortune 500 enterprises.”
