Pacnet, a business telecommunications service provider,
announced the launch of Pacnet Virtual Private Server (VPS), its first
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solution in its growing portfolio of cloud
computing solutions.
“As organisations deploy increasingly demanding
applications requiring more robust server environments, they are also
recognising the high costs and resource requirements associated with building
traditional server environments,” said Chris Wilson, senior vice president
of Product Strategy and Management, Pacnet.
“Pacnet VPS, our new IaaS service which is part of
our broader cloud strategy, extends high-end computational, storage and
networking assets to customers that require access to scalable, advanced server
infrastructure, without the need for huge, upfront capital investment,”
added Wilson.
“Australian businesses have shown that they are at
the forefront of cloud computing and we have already seen some of them quickly
recognising the value that Pacnet VPS delivers,” said Deborah Homewood,
chief executive officer of Pacnet Australia & New Zealand.
“Their adoption of Pacnet VPS goes beyond just
looking for cost savings as they realise that the service, along with our
network and hosting infrastructure, allows them to minimise downtime, support
their business continuity and disaster recovery plans, as well as host new
services in a safe and secure environment,” Homewood added.
Pacnet VPS leverages Pacnet’s extensive IP VPN network,
and delivers high-performance and high-resiliency virtual servers that function
just like physical servers.
Built from industry-leading virtualisation software,
servers, storage equipment and platforms, the service allows customers the
flexibility to choose from four configurations Small, Medium, Large and Extra
Large to match their compute and storage requirements. Customers also have a
choice of either Microsoft Windows Server Standard or Red Hat Enterprise Linux
as the operating system of the virtual server.
Optional features include a choice of backup services and
additional Microsoft Business Application software licenses, which may also be
included as part of the service package. The service is also offered on a
monthly fee over flexible 6, 12, 24 or 36-month terms.
As with any Pacnet service, Pacnet VPS is supported by
Pacnet’s technical support team with a history of service excellence.
Recently, Pacnet announced its strategic plan
to deliver a new next-generation content delivery network (CDN) service that
enables businesses to accelerate the delivery of digital content to the growing
global online audience, with unparalleled speed and scale.
