Host Color Kicked Off Shared and Reseller Cloud HostingWe are glad to announce that Host Color customers can take advantage of our new Cloud Hosting offering - to host websites on High Availability, Load-balanced, IP based cPanel accounts. We have launched Host Color Cloud, a Cloud computing class IT hosting service powered by fully redundant, scalable infrastructure based on Supermicro Datacenter Blade hardware and enterprise hosting automation platform Fuscan Linux Cloud.Host Color announced the new Cloud offering in the beginning of July. We have begun working on building a Cloud hosting infrastructure in February, 2010. Host Color Cloud uses Kernel-based virtual machines, which serve as processing nodes in a Cloud hosting infrastructure powered by Fuscan hosting automation solutions. Host Color runs an EHA, a software automation layer of Fuscan, which enables the company to provide High Availability cPanel/WHM based Shared Cloud accounts. The new Cloud Hosting plans create competitive advantage for small-business owners and enable them to: - Manage Cloud accounts with cPanel's familiar interface "Domain Owner Panel" - Use cPanel "Root and Reseller Admin Panel" to create and manage Reseller Cloud Hosting accounts - Use load-balanced IP based virtual hosting as a service part of cPanel Cloud accounts - Share the resources of a large cluster of virtual machines - Host websites on a Fault-Tolerant Cloud storage area network (SAN) replicated for redundancy - Have an "Archive copy" of their Cloud hosting account - Save financial resources on software licenses and system administration - Host a large number of websites and dot-com projects on a load-balanced cluster - Use redundant network and premium bandwidth - Get their websites hosted in a secure virtual hosting environment protected by dedicated SSL certificate "We are glad to announce the Host Color Cloud, a highly available, load-balanced IT Hosting service delivered from a fully redundant cloud infrastructure, automated for cPanel/WHM", said Martin Andreev, a VP of Operations of Host Color LLC in our official news release. He also added that Host Color team is proud to make moving to the clouds simple and risk-free for everyone. "Site owners who used to use cPanel/WHM can now take advantage from Cloud computing, without a need to change the way they manage websites and online applications", added Mr. Andreev. The Cloud Infrastructure of Host Color? Host Color's new Cloud infrastructure consists of thousands of virtual processing nodes connected to a shared storage area network (SAN). We use InfiniBand as communication link between all components of the system to ensure high performance. All Shared and Reseller Cloud accounts are hosted on a Storage Area Network replicated for redundancy and share resources of the whole system. The implemented Cloud infrastructure model guarantees an operational continuity of all services - HTTP, FTP, E-mail, DNS, Database, etc. When a server part of Host Color Cloud has to be added, removed, configured or reconfigured, the system's load-balancer automatically reconfigures the system. If there are failed nodes the load-balancer excludes them from the system. Fuscan Linux Cloud, the enterprise automation platform used by the company, ensures redundancy on a software level (transparent service failover) for Host Color Cloud, while the Supermicro Datacenter Blade hardware technology and InfiniBand provide a hardware level (power, cluster interconnect) redundancy for the company's infrastructure. The web Host Color opened its Europe based Cloud in the beginning of July. The new U.S. virtual data center of the company is scheduled for opening in October. |
