OnApp Powers CloudTO’s Public Cloud Launch
August 1, 2012
OnApp has announced that CloudTO, a subsidiary of Cirrus Tech Ltd., has selected the OnApp Cloud platform to power a new range of public cloud hosting services. With OnApp Cloud, CloudTO can deliver extremely resilient, scalable and easy-to-use cloud services to its enterprise customers, quickly and cost-effectively. The company has already launched two new services built on the OnApp Cloud platform: an elastic public cloud service with utility billing, and a configurable cloud VM service with monthly pricing.
CloudTO spent two years trialling cloud platforms from five other providers before choosing OnApp Cloud. CloudTO selected the OnApp platform for its scalability, resilience and ease of use, and because of OnApp’s proven experience delivering and supporting successful cloud platforms for hosting companies.
Ehsan Mirdamadi, CEO of Cirrus, commented, “We experienced so many issues with the various cloud platforms we trialled. Reliability was the biggest – aside from OnApp, the solutions we tested just weren’t ready for the hosting industry. The OnApp team has deep experience of the hosting industry and really understood our infrastructure, our support needs and our market, and that was a huge draw for us.”
“For example, OnApp knew what storage hardware and software components we needed, as well as how to manage the entire storage infrastructure,” Mirdamadi continued. “Most other vendors we talked to had no idea about storage and wouldn’t make recommendations the way OnApp did. Cloud is all about having an infrastructure that is highly redundant and scalable, and that’s what OnApp allows us to offer our customers.”
Ditlev Bredhal, CEO of OnApp, commented, “We love hearing stories like CloudTO’s, where hosters have gone through a rigorous process to select a cloud platform, and OnApp came out on top. If you’re a traditional service provider selling dedicated, shared or VPS services, OnApp is designed to get your cloud business up and running, and generating revenue as quickly as possible. It’s easy to deploy, easy to use, easy to manage and we support you 24×7.”
