MaxiScale, Inc., a technology leader in cloud-scale file serving and storage, today established file reads per-disk per-second as the most accurate measurement of file delivery cost-effectiveness for cloud applications. MaxiScale already achieves more than 90 file reads per-disk per-second in large random workloads common to cloud-based applications—a record-breaking industry feat. By setting file reads per-disk per-second as a standard measure, MaxiScale provides cloud and Web application architects with a clear, unambiguous way to understand file delivery costs to end users. Leveraging this metric with the MaxiScale FLEX Software Platform enables IT architects to build a scalable infrastructure with dramatically lower file serving costs, achieving better file system performance and a faster user experience using inexpensive servers and SATA drives.

The surge of cloud-based applications like social networks, photo-sharing sites and online advertising are creating a fundamental shift in file serving requirements. In the past, conventional storage and file serving systems relied on capacity and throughput as benchmarks for performance; however, the landscape for file serving and storage has changed. The unpredictable data demand for small files requires a new delivery-based performance benchmark. Delivery performance is specifically important for Web-facing cloud applications that need to provide a rich, seamless user experience with fast download times, and file reads per-disk per-second is the most accurate measure of a file system’s economic benefit for read intensive, scale-out applications. Other measures like I/O operations per second can falsely exaggerate system capabilities as IOPS do not directly equate to full file reads.

Today, modern cloud-based applications need to handle billions of random small file operations, such as thumbnail and photo retrieval. The MaxiScale FLEX Software Platform delivers the lowest cost per file retrieval with single disk I/O operation reads for files up to 1 MB. MaxiScale can easily deliver 100 million daily file retrievals with high availability, running as few as five inexpensive, standard commodity server nodes. The FLEX Software Platform runs entirely with standard servers, high-capacity SATA disks, and Ethernet, dramatically lowering the cost of file serving at Internet scale and cutting hardware budgets.

“File reads per-disk per-second is a benchmark measurement that allows application architects to stay ahead of the file-serving demand of cloud applications without costly infrastructure overhauls” said Francesco Lacapra, chief technology officer at MaxiScale. “With MaxiScale’s FLEX Software Platform, cloud application architects and IT managers can store billions of objects in a single namespace while serving any object directly from a disk within a few milliseconds. Our single disk I/O capability is essential in creating a seamless user experience without costly lag time”

About MaxiScale
MaxiScale’s cloud-scale file serving and storage platform is a breakthrough for Internet data centers and storage infrastructure that fundamentally changes the economics of deploying Web-scale applications. The FLEX Software Platform addresses the unpredictable and expanding data requirements facing companies that deliver Internet applications via public and private clouds. It enables customers to reduce capital and operational costs while improving performance by an order of magnitude over competing solutions. MaxiScale’s innovative Peer Set™ architecture and single disk I/O small file operations allow data centers to linearly scale a single namespace to hundreds of petabytes, eliminate forklift upgrades and reduce disk counts by a factor of 10. This results in the ability to scale to 100 times the capacity of current solutions. For more information, please visit: www.MaxiScale.com

Cloud Linux Inc, an innovative, privately funded technology company serving the needs of web hosts and datacenters, announces it has been selected by Cartika, an industry innovator in cloud hosting services, to be the Linux Operating System (OS) platform for their new CartikaCloud initiative. This announcement is significant as it marks the first CloudLinux hosting partner, following its market debut less than 30 days ago. Cartika, who just announced its CartikaCloud service, selected CloudLinux because of their LVESM technology which allows CartikaCloud to deliver a new level of server stability and performance.

“Companies of all sizes deserve cutting-edge technology to continue to optimize their server investment, software applications and web-based productivity,”states Andrew Rouchotas, CEO of Cartika.”CloudLinux delivers new technology for new levels of server stability and performance.”

The core technology behind CloudLinux OS is Lightweight Virtual EnvironmentSM (LVE),a kernel-level technology which limits the amount of resources (CPU, I/O, memory) available to a group of processes. With LVE, administrators now have the tools to control the CPU and IO demands of individual tenants, so that a single site can not slow or take down a whole server. While similar in approach to container virtualization, LVE is lightweight and transparent. The LVE level fair-share CPU scheduler makes sure that each account gets enough CPU resources to run efficiently.

CloudLinux OS is able to deliver significant benefits to Cartika’s customers including:

– Innovative LVE technology that can increase server stability and performance with less downtime. Additionally, LVE increases server flexibility allowing clients to run an account based, application level virtualization
– Complete, 24/7 support
– Compatible with the major control panel for easy management and deployment

“Our partnership with Cartika represents the synergy between cloud infrastructure and cloud OS. It is not enough to guarantee 100% hardware and network performance. The software and OS also have to scale for the cloud.” explains Igor Seletskiy, CEO and Founder of CloudLinux. “Cartika’s philosophy and business model are very much in line with CloudLinux, and we are delighted that they are our inaugural, première partner, signed within our first 30 days of our product launch.”

The newest technology in the field of web hosting is cloud computing.

This innovative approach toward the hosting of web applications is promising real cost savings and improved flexibility for any business owner’s technology strategy.

The cloud computing architecture is scalable and it will adjust to the needs of the applications. If more resources are needed, they are assigned by the cloud platform, without the need for staff to re-configure the installation.

Today, corporate IT managers are beginning to research this opportunity. They are faced with a barrage of marketing claims, some of them hype, and some of them real.

To fill the educational need, the company Bestcloudcomputing was introduced yesterday. This website will provide educational help and direction to the best websites and news sources.

A cloud reduces the complexity of hosting because the server architecture simplifies the need for managing of individual serves and network devices. The system administrators and network managers of the hosted application can focus on the big picture, and not spend their time configuring specific servers and assigning them to network devices.

A spokesman for Bestcloudcomputing told us: “We are the first web based company that can reduce the complexity of learning about cloud computing.”

More information can soon be found at the new website http://www.bestcloudcomputing.com which will be launched in the coming weeks.

Showcasing its comprehensive suite of cloud hosting services, web hosting provider InetServices (www.inetservices.com) has officially launched its new website, www.inetservicescloud.com, dedicated specifically to cloud hosting services.

According to its Friday announcement, InetServices, which provides dedicated servers, managed dedicated servers, and cloud computing, launched the site to increase the visibility of its InetServicesCloud, introduced in October 2009.
Sensing a greater than expected interest in InetServicesCloud services, InetServices chief operating officer Kevin Soendker said in a statement, “[W]e decided to provide potential customers with a website that focuses specifically on cloud services. This new website is also a preemptive move for creating InetServicesCloud as a separate division of InetServices targeted for the beginning of the second quarter 2010.”

The InetServicesCloud offers customers a high-performance, highly reliable and scalable cloud computing infrastructure powering three offerings: virtual machine hosting, virtual private data centers, and virtual storage. An alternative to traditional dedicated servers, InetServices’s virtual machine hosting is priced starting at $99 per month. Providing a more secure and reliable environment than a public cloud, the Virtual Private Data Center is available in both VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V varieties, and custom-made clouds are also available.

“The new website makes it easy for online visitors to easily scan all the cloud service offerings without getting confused with those for dedicated and managed servers,” Soendker said. “The one thing we have found over the past several months is that most small businesses are still confused in understanding the differences and benefits from dedicated servers, virtual dedicated servers, and virtual private servers. We pre-released the InetServicesCloud site over 30 days ago and the feedback as well as orders has exceeded all our expectations.”

Arsys, a Spanish Internet services provider, today announced it is expanding its Cloud Hosting services with new cloud storage solutions geared towards home users and companies.

With the cloud storage solutions, the information is not stored on a single physical piece of hardware, but on a technological platform that guarantees maximum availability, flexibility and scalability. Through a secure web page with an easy interface, users can automatically scale their storage capacity up to 5TB (the equivalent of 1.5 million photos in high definition), according to their specific needs and requirements, and without technical intervention.

The cloud storage solutions of Arsys are geared towards both individual and business users, since they can be easily integrated into corporate environments. Any company can scale its infrastructure, at any time, to its data by flexibly managing its storage capacity of the technical infrastructure, thereby reducing its investment in storage units.

The new line of cloud storage services consists of three different solutions: Personal Online Hard Drive, Application Storage and External Storage. The launch of these solutions, already available in beta, complements Arsys’ portfolio of cloud services that will be further expanded with new functionalities in the second quarter of the year.

For the home user, Arsys offers the Personal Online Hard Drive, which allows data access from any device connected to the Internet without relying on physical devices such as for example USB memory sticks. Signing up before February 15th, this service is completely free of charge with 5 GB capacity and no time limit.

For businesses, Application Storage expands the storage capacity for external applications that access data through an API (application interface). It is aimed at developers or companies that handle a high file volume and signing up before February 15th, the 50GB version is completely free of charge for one year. In addition, companies can increase their server capacity with External Storage. This solution adds extra storage space to servers hosted with Arsys and incorporates technologies with greater connectivity and maximum incident tolerance, like high performance network units (NFS).

In April of last year, Arsys launched the first commercial cloud hosting platform developed in Spain. Based on the VMware vSphere virtualization technology, SAN architecture and next-generation servers, this platform separates hosting from the technical infrastructure that supports it, such as servers and network elements, and allows flexible servers configurations, managing its technological resources in real time.

The cloud storage platform is stored in the new Data Center of the company. The facility has the capacity to house up to 15,000 servers and incorporates the latest technological advances in energy efficiency, security and availability. The data center is connected to Arsys’ telecommunications network of two redundant lines with a total capacity of 20 Gbps ensuring optimal access to the stored data.

To explain the concept of Cloud Storage and its advantages for home users and business customers, Arsys has created a microsite www.cloudstorage.es
