Canadian Web Hosting expands VMware Private Cloud
Canadian Web Hosting has announced an upgrade to their CA Private Cloud utilizing VMware today. The new enterprise-class private cloud service combines technologies from a range of industry leading security and hardware providers like Juniper and Dell with virtualization leader VMware to provide the most reliable and secure hosted Private Cloud solution in the market today. Customers are now able to build an online solution that is completely hardware independent and is ideal for customers concerned about the possible risks associated with public clouds.
This high-performance enterprise capacity builds on Canadian Web Hosting’s recently announced CA Cloud service offerings and is an extension of its IT and Cloud infrastructure portfolio that includes Managed Web hosting, Cloud Servers, Advanced Networking including Anycast and their upcoming Unified Security Services.
Similar to Canadian Web Hosting’s other cloud offerings, this enhanced cloud capability gives its customers the capability to extend their private clouds and have scalable access to a pool of dedicated computing resources that deliver private cloud services without having to purchase their own physical hardware including features like vMotion, Hot Add, Fault Tolerance, Distributed Resource Scheduler (Dynamic Resource Balancing), and Data Recovery with true high-availability without the soaring IT costs. In addition, with vCenter unified management all the hosts and VMs can be controlled through a single console with aggregate performance monitoring of clusters, hosts and VMs.
With this feature set, customers are empowered to fully control their infrastructure resources, deploy VMs, utilize multiple layers of physical and logical security and get guaranteed 100% network availability SLAs. Included with any Private Cloud configuration, Canadian Web Hosting customers are able to work with and develop their own virtual data centre solution around their changing needs with one of Canadian Web Hosting’s certified VMware experts who can test various configurations and help deploy the best configuration based on the customers’ requirements.
“Enterprise companies are increasingly looking for powerful but flexible outsources solutions that will help them meet the needs of their end users with the right mix of performance, cost and support,” said Kevin Liang, Chief Technical Officer of Canadian Web Hosting. By extending our Private Cloud solutions using VMware virtualization, our customers will get a complete range of infrastructure services build around the enterprise business. As part of that, our customers benefit from our more than 15 years of experience and SSAE 16 Type II certification helping them to meet their corporate governance requirements.”
Canadian Web Hosting’s private cloud solutions are available on monthly plans, and also include true 24/7 support with registered support agents. Customers also have the ability to utilize Xen or Hyper-V virtualization platforms upon request.
