Cloud hosting provider Host Virtual has further expanded its Hong Kong cloud
Cloud hosting provider Host Virtual announced on Wednesday it has further expanded its Hong Kong cloud, as well as added dedicated connectivity to Europe, joined the local Hong Kong Internet Exchange, and expanded its US and China direct bandwidth.
The move comes a month after Host Virtual added low latency connectivity to mainland China from its Hong Kong Cloud.
Host Virtual has differentiated its services by building clouds that span India and China, along with premium, low latency connectivity and local support.
The company has an aggressive expansion strategy where it has been rapidly expanding its cloud service locations to San Jose, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Virginia, New York, and London.
“We’re pleased to continue our investment in ourHong Kong Cloud,” said Sandy Bhargavi, senior vice president for Host Virtual. “We’re seeing tremendous demand from businesses looking to reach China and Hong Kong plus mainland businesses expanding throughout the world from this location.”
The expansion in Hong Kong follows closely on Host Virtual’s additional investments in India earlier in the month, as well as Host Virtual’s cloud service expansion in London last year.
The Host Virtual Cloud allows customers to rapidly deploy over 300 Linux, FreeBSD, VOIP and hosting appliances with native dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 support to any of the company’s 11 worldwide locations.
Combined with advanced tools and services, such as BGP AnyCast, Load Balancing, and worldwide CDN support Host Virtual provides a seamless infrastructure as a service, says the company.
Host Virtual also provides managed cloud hosting, dedicated private/public clouds, white-label cloud solutions and consulting, as well as operates dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 IaaS clouds worldwide.
