Web Host News – Reading, UK – The Launch of DediPower’s new Public Cloud signals a step-change for managed hosting.  Providing the fast-roll-out and shared economies expected from Cloud infrastructure, it raises the bar on the typical ‘commodity’ based Public Cloud services currently flooding the market. DediPower is committed to delivering Public Cloud that uses only best of breed hardware and dedicated support normally associated with bespoke Private enterprise solutions.  To support this, it offers a solid Service Level Agreement which ensures 100% uptime and high availability; utilises high speed fully redundant SAS SAN for storage; and includes ISO 27002 compliant security separation, firewalling and enterprise calibre back-ups as standard. Craig Martin, CEO of DediPower, states, “Hosting companies have fallen into the trap of developing cloud platforms to be ahead of the curve.  This is not their key strength.  Consequently, they have tried to solve the problem from every angle, leading to unsupportable architectures and inconsistent pricing.  We aim to challenge them and provide a new benchmark for the industry by using premier, proven hardware; architecture developed on our top-end servers; and solutions built using VMWare Hypervisor, the industry leading virtualisation platform.” He continues, “We believe organisations looking to migrate to Public Cloud don’t want low costs if it means an unreliable platform that cannot service their needs.  They want a risk-free solution that accommodates their growth and is robust enough to respond to market demands and future growth strategies.  At DediPower, we believe 100% availability and solid support is still a prerequisite for hosting – no matter how small the client, its web traffic or its investment.  Value is what counts – and we aim to deliver that throughout.” DediPower Public Cloud incorporates VMWare Hypervisor which runs on the latest Intel Nehalem Hardware.  There is no over-allocation of RAM, CPU and storage is provided using high-performance SAS SAN hardware with suitable QoS levels on disk I/O.  Costing models are based on Virtual Cloud Data Centres which are sold as blocks of RAM with storage split into virtual machines
