GigaSpaces Technologies, developer of the industry-leading, cloud-enabled eXtreme Application Platform (XAP), and GoGrid, the Cloud Infrastructure Hosting service from ServePath Dedicated Hosting, have combined their technologies to create the most robust Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering for Java and .NET available. The combination of XAP’s power, interoperability, and elasticity with GoGrid’s secured, hardened, scalable, and customizable environment provides a first-of-its-kind, enterprise-grade public cloud offering customers can rely on to deliver all their mission-critical applications.
The partners’ proven strengths create a reliable, high-speed and scalable infrastructure for the most demanding requirements. Currently, GigaSpaces ensures that its Fortune 500 production customers enjoy enterprise-grade extreme transaction processing for high-throughput, low-latency applications based on Java, .NET, C and C++. Meanwhile, GoGrid is leveraging its 10+ years of experience in enterprise-level data center hosting, applying its understanding of uptime, security, and service level agreements to the public cloud offering. GoGrid also provides customers with the ability to create and store customer images, a key differentiator for enterprise customers over other public cloud offerings as well as Hybrid Hosting solutions that privately connect cloud front-ends with dedicated back-end infrastructures.
XAP’s architecture enables organizations to flexibly move between their data centers and the cloud or use both simultaneously, offering a clear migration path from a hosted or on-premise environment to the public cloud. Therefore, ServePath customers will be able to leverage the GoGrid public cloud for processing overflow, reducing over provisioning and costs. In addition, ServePath customers can keep their proprietary data on the server farm while leveraging the GoGrid public cloud to scale the web tier components of any application.
“Our partnership with GigaSpaces allows us to create a public cloud using Java and .Net-compatible high-speed application processing that works synergistically with our existing infrastructure,” says John Keagy, Founder and CEO of ServePath, the parent company of GoGrid. “GoGrid customers will now be able to seamlessly leverage the GoGrid public cloud for on-demand capacity scaling by using GigaSpaces’ SLA-based management capabilities.”
GoGrid’s standard, fully customizable Windows and Linux cloud servers leverage GigaSpaces’ support of Windows/.Net, Java, Linux, VMWare and Xen. This provides smooth operation regardless of application language or environment by the use of XAP’s middleware services such as data grid, messaging and parallel processing (map/reduce), which are designed to enable scaling of services on-demand.
“Adding the GoGrid/ServePath infrastructure to our supported environments increases our customers’ flexibility to manage their data processing,” says Zeev Bikowsky, GigaSpaces CEO. “GoGrid’s enterprise-grade cloud capabilities provide a great opportunity for further IT efficiency and cost savings for XAP’s .Net customers, providing an exceptionally flexible run-time environment on the cloud.”

Dedicated Hosting News — Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (Nasdaq:TMRK), a leading global provider of managed IT infrastructure services, today announced the availability of its Enterprise Cloud services to customers throughout Europe. The Enterprise Cloud’s availability in Europe provides customers a true, multinational cloud infrastructure that is connected to the cloud infrastructure currently available at Terremark’s Network Access Point (NAP) of the Americas in Miami and its NAP of the Capital Region near Washington, D.C.
Terremark’s Enterprise Cloud, a revolutionary managed cloud computing platform for mission-critical applications and IT infrastructure, combines the agility and scalability of cloud computing with world-class datacenter and computing infrastructure, access to more than 160 global networks and best-in-class managed services, allowing enterprises to meet the real-time needs of their business with greater efficiency and economy than ever before. At the center of The Enterprise Cloud is an easy-to-use web application that allows customers to dynamically provision, configure, deploy and manage servers in just minutes from a pool of dedicated computing resources. A variety of preconfigured server roles are available across Microsoft Windows, Linux and Sun Solaris operating systems. The portal provides a full reporting interface that allows instant insight into resource utilization and system performance.
“The availability of Enterprise Cloud services to our customers in Europe provides them with an innovative and powerful solution to their IT infrastructure needs,” said Kurt Glazemakers, CTO for Terremark’s European operations. “By purchasing a dedicated resource pool of processing, memory and storage, the Enterprise Cloud offers our customers more flexibility and agility over the traditional server based model, allowing for a precise and dynamic allocation of computing resources as needed.”
Terremark recently announced its latest upgrade to the Enterprise Cloud with the addition of Dynamic Capacity Management, which allows Enterprise Cloud customers to access on-demand computing capacity with greater flexibility than ever.

The feature, which can be enabled for processing and memory resources as required, provides real-time access to additional computing capacity, allowing clients to address transient spikes in usage in a flexible and cost-effective manner.
“As we continue to expand the availability of the Enterprise Cloud across our global datacenter footprint, we are able to offer our customers worldwide a ‘true cloud’ solution for their IT infrastructure needs,” said Manuel D. Medina, Chairman and CEO of Terremark Worldwide, Inc. “Based on the Enterprise Cloud’s success in the United States and existing demand for enterprise-class cloud computing services in Europe, we expect strong demand for the Enterprise Cloud from our current customers and prospects in Europe.”

Len Brown, Director of IT Technical Services at TXI remarked, ”Our company is known for efficiency and innovation, and we looked for the same qualities in a data center. The team at Colo4Dallas was very responsive and receptive to customizing a solution for us. We conducted an exhaustive search to find a colocation provider that could meet our specific needs and still be cost-effective. We wanted to ensure that we minimize or eliminate downtime, drive performance of our IT systems and keep mission-critical applications and hardware secure.”
Paul VanMeter, President and Chief Technology Officer of Colo4Dallas noted, ”Beyond offering what we believe is the highest quality facility and network in the area, we take great pride in making it easy for customers to do business with us. TXI had specific requirements for their move into the data center, from cross connects and cabling to the provisioning of telco circuits, and we were happy to create a solution to meet their immediate needs and support future growth.”

The company’s growth has prompted the recent expansion of its data center space, which now includes over 106,000 square feet of secure, climate-controlled space at three facilities.
Colo4Dallas technicians used approximately 8500 feet of cat5e cable for TXI’s installation. Each partitioned section was tested and precisely mapped to ensure high performance and enable technicians to troubleshoot cable and expand the infrastructure as TXI’s needs change.

Because many of our customers are in the financial services arena, SAS 70 compliance was also critical.
“When we announce a new product, long before it’s generally available, we are able to conduct extensive alpha and beta testing cycles,” Geers notes. “The Planet is a big part of that process. Since we set up beta sites for each individual customer, we want to control those environments. We know we can count on the stability of the environment at The Planet, which is one more thing we don’t have to worry about. In fact, Planet Northstar has helped us improve our overall customer satisfaction, which is a priceless consideration in our business. The Planet Northstar account team takes a methodical approach to our business through its Anticipation Advantage Methodology and ensures that our systems are scalable. They clearly have a vested interest in our success.”
“Reliability, scalability and security are key for organizations whose customers rely on hosted applications,” said Steve Kahan, vice president of marketing and product management for The Planet. “The Planet Northstar dedicated account team evaluates business requirements upfront based on our Anticipation Advantage methodology. They have a full working knowledge of each company’s business goals and processes before implementation even begins. With the designated account team available around-the-clock, customers can be assured their IT infrastructure is well managed.”
