(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Letting hosting companies compete with global market leaders in the cloud virtualization sector, software developer Flexiant (www.flexiant.com) has launched its FlexiScale cloud service Extility, which offers a proven and viable alternative to developing a cloud computing platform in-house.
According to Flexiant’s Tuesday announcement, Extility is a licensed virtualized cloud platform that delivers all the benefits of real-time server estate management to end-users through its unique user interface and API. Central to these end-user benefits is the ability to shape server requirements to meet and exceed the demands of a perpetually shifting market landscape, allowing server provisioning and reconfiguration in minutes or seconds rather than hours or days.
“We have pioneered cloud computing for six years and worked in the web hosting sector for 12 years,” Flexiant founder Tony Lucas stated. “We know this industry inside out and we believe Extility will transform Internet hosting technology by enabling affordable scalable services that reduce both operating costs and carbon footprint.”
Participants will not only enjoy the competitive edge of providing world-class, scalable services, but also the cost savings from using Extility’s unified platform, meaning that they will be able to do so at realistic prices in a market that Gartner analysts project to make up more than 20 percent of corporate IT infrastructure within five years.
Extility is based on Flexiant’s cloud virtualization software FlexiScale. Currently in its final Beta testing cycle, FlexiScale 2.0 will launch March 23, 2010. A complete rebuild of Europe’s first cloud platform, FlexiScale 2.0 not only allows end-users to benefit from a wholly scalable hosting infrastructure but also reaches out to the wider world of IT services delivery companies with the opportunity to extend their offering to existing customers, while differentiating their services in a progressively demanding market place where nearly all IT services have been commoditised.
