Carpathia Hosting, the leading provider of enterprise managed hosting services for government agencies and businesses, announced today it has been selected by Echo360 as its managed hosting provider. Through the AlwaysOn/InstantOn™ fully-managed enterprise cloud solution, Echo360's higher education customers will have a reliable and stable hosting environment for on-demand access to university lectures.
"Echo360 contacted Carpathia Hosting to help design a solution to a common problem many organizations are experiencing - the need to cost-effectively scale an infrastructure to meet the peaks and troughs of their customers usage," said Peter Weber, CEO at Carpathia Hosting. "We worked with Echo360 to design a solution that utilizes Carpathia AlwaysOn™ capacity for the predictable portion of their workload, and will provide Carpathia InstantOn™ to allow bursting into the Carpathia Hosting storage and compute cloud in the future when usage peaks."
Carpathia Hosting's unique solution is comprised of two components - AlwaysOn, using Carpathia Managed Hosting services, and InstantOn, utilizing Carpathia Hosting's cloud computing platform to offer seamless integration of cloud and dedicated resources. Used together, Carpathia Hosting calls this unique approach Carpathia Cloud Orchestration™.
"By blending dedicated managed hosting and cloud computing, customers obtain a lower unit price and retain the traditional benefits of managed hosting, including security and availability," said Jon Greaves, CTO of Carpathia Hosting. "This hybrid model provides the security, availability and reliability of a traditionally hosted environment, paired with instant access to cloud computing and storage."
"Carpathia Hosting evaluated the entire problem we were trying to solve. The one-to-one design support provided by Carpathia Hosting resulted in a solution with the reliability of dedicated resources, and in the future, the cost savings associated with the benefits of a 'burstable' cloud computing model," said Mark Jones, President of Echo360.
Key to selection by Echo360 was Carpathia Hosting's overall performance and long-term product strategy.
"Carpathia Hosting's multiple datacenter locations gave us the confidence that they could provide the speed and predictability of service demanded by our client base," said Jonathan Bell, Vice President of Engineering for Echo360. "Their vision for the cloud-based platform gave us the confidence that Carpathia Hosting can support the needs of our customers today and in the future."
