SoftLayer Offers Web 2.0 Services
November 15, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider SoftLayer Technologies (softlayer.com) announced on Wednesday it continues to develop scalable utility services for the emerging Web 2.0 market.
“There is a glaring shortage of infrastructure scalability in the world of Web 2.0,” says Lance Crosby, president and CEO at SoftLayer. “More sites work in conjunction with one another for an entirely integrated experience. We’re creating the infrastructure to address this. SoftLayer will allow your company to grow from one server to one thousand servers – overnight.”
The company has included in the new suite of services many highly scalable, on-demand servers that can be online in an hour, centralized mass storage and a full suite of security services. Customers can also expand from a single processor, dual core server to a dual processor quad core server in minutes.
SoftLayer offers these features and services with month-to-month commitments, no setup fees, no capital expenditures and future services can be added in real-time with no downtime. The company says it caters to startups, streaming video and social networking sites, IPTV companies, VOIP exchanges, emerging SMBs, virtualization, grid computing and companies delivering software as a service.
