8×8 Announces New Windows Cloud Server Hosting Solution

8×8, Inc, provider of innovative cloud communications and computing solutions, today announced the availability of its new Windows Cloud Server hosting solution. Now, businesses of all sizes on Windows-based networks have a cost-effective, flexible, and easy Web host option enabling them to instantly deploy cloud servers, virtual private servers, geographically aware DNS and full IPv6 support. Previously, this solution was available only for Linux systems. The 8×8 Cloud Server hosting solution for Windows is available now and can be purchased online at www.8×8.com/cloud.

With 8×8’s new Windows hosting service, IT project managers, consultants and CIOs have access to the most up-to-date Virtual Private Server (VPS) and cloud server technologies without having to invest in new IT equipment and spend hours setting it up. Within minutes, businesses can be up and running on a new server, have access to more memory, storage and bandwidth and manage everything from a custom, web-based control panel purpose-built for optimal efficiency and ease of use.

“Businesses are moving away from on-premise computing solutions in order to save money on infrastructure and the accompanying man-hours needed to manage it,” said Andy Schwabecher, General Manager of Hosting Solutions at 8×8. “While other providers are head down building solutions for software developers, 8×8 is focused on bringing user-friendly cloud server technologies such as snapshots, cloning, availability zones and hourly billing to conventional IT groups.”

Features of the 8×8 Windows Cloud Server Hosting Solution include:

Easy user interface — A simple, straight forward self-service portal
No set-up fees or contracts — Simply pay by the hour or by month
Server snapshots — Grab a snapshot of your server and use it to restore or rebuild your server, or build a new, cloned server
RAID-10 storage — Every server utilizes RAID-10 disk storage, providing high performance and reliability
Automated provisioning — Build a new server or upgrade an existing one quickly and easily with the automated features available from the self-service portal
Memory and processing power — Have access to guaranteed RAM, CPU and bandwidth
Other features — Public IP addresses, IPv6, private networks, firewalls, SSH key logins, and an out-of-band console
