Everyone is talking about cloud computing, debating the merits, worrying over the security of the “public” aspects, and yet the benefits of virtualization are clear, and with Horizon they are here.
To close the gap and provide a secure solution to cloud computing, last week we announced our launch of a private network cloud computing solution called FlexSafe Cloud. (See the Press Release.)
FlexSafe Cloud is a secure approach to cloud computing that meets the needs of organizations that want the flexibility, scalability and cost savings of virtualization, but that also require the security of a private computing platform.
Horizon CEO Lance A. Smith says the FlexSafe Cloud continues the company’s strategic focus on filling the gap in the marketplace by providing leading edge, flexible, full-service IT outsourcing options that can serve both enterprise clients and small to medium-sized businesses. What we have found is that customers like flexibility. We pioneered the concept on the data center/storage side of the equation with our DCFlexSpaceSM colocation model.
Our FlexSafe Cloud delivers immediate benefits for Software as a Service (SaaS) companies, e-commerce applications that experience fluctuating transaction volumes, financial firms, government agencies, and other entities that want the greater efficiencies and cost savings of virtualization without giving up security.
Technology Partners: The highly scalable FlexSafe Cloud is based upon our industry leading Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering. We begin with Tier III data centers (we have two in Dallas) built on leading edge technology providers like AboveNet, Cisco, F5 Networks and HP. From firewall to storage, the Horizon FlexSafeSM Cloud service is virtualized using VMware, and provides the High Availability (HA) performance and security levels required by enterprise data center customers. HDCS currently has two DFW area data centers, connected by the aforementioned private fiber ring, providing fast, reliable data backup and replication solutions.
