Extrinsica Confirms DediPower as Best in Class Hosting Partner for Cloud Based SaaS Providers
By Dedipower Managed Hosting Ltd, PRNEMonday, August 30, 2010
READING, England, August 31, 2010 - DediPower, a leading provider of managed and cloud hosting solutions,
supports Extrinsica's rapid growth in demand for its Extrinsica Office
Anywhere(R) software as a service (SaaS). With a rapidly growing
international Cloud hosting reputation and facilities in UK, US and Hong
Kong, DediPower is well placed to support Extrinsica's SaaS Cloud platform
and business critical applications.
Simon Smith, Managing Director of Extrinsica explains, "With more
companies relying on remote and geographically dispersed workers, the need
for Internet-based software has never been greater. Providing access to
office systems anytime, anywhere and from any device, our Office Anywhere
solution is a perfect example of Cloud services at their best. However,
without reliable and 100% available infrastructure, even the most advanced
Cloud services simply cannot hold up. DediPower provides us with the highest
standard of hosting environment in which to build our cloud infrastructure
and the necessary levels of support to keep it available 24/7."
He continues, "A real advantage of our solution is that while users can
easily access their office applications and files, the data never leaves the
data centre, even when they're using it. All of the files they create are
aggregated and stored centrally on our servers located at DediPower's secure,
enterprise-class Data Centres. This effectively eliminates risk for our
customers and ensures their data is secured in one location and not
fragmented across large numbers of individual devices and locations."
With considerable experience working with the UK Government's largest and
most technically complex secure departments, the Extrinsica team are only too
well aware of the importance of security.
Smith states, "The concept of multi-tenancy allows smaller companies to
access sophisticated and expensive capabilities that they wouldn't be able
afford to put in place themselves, making it commercially and operationally
viable. Within the shared Cloud environment, however, service providers must
maintain security. Extrinsica builds its infrastructure from the ground up
and segregates each client's data with highly secure technology to maintain
data integrity. DediPower gives us the flexibility to do this while they
provide the grid-independent power supplies, robust and fast connections,
USPs and physical security that keeps our system and our customers' data
safe."
DediPower hosts Extrinsica's 40 Dell Servers which use VMware and
Microsoft's Hyper-V virtualisation software to create a high availability
cloud platform. Popular business productivity and collaboration software
applications are delivered from the platform via the Internet using Citrix
XenApp technology. While some service providers operate their own Data
Centres, Extrinsica sees no reason to consider moving from DediPower.
Smith confirms, "From our point of view DediPower delivers
enterprise-class reliability and capacity - they are as good as their word
and never let us down. We can trust them to maintain our system uptime so
that we can focus on what we do best - delivering innovative SaaS solutions.
Our international and larger enterprise business is now developing rapidly
and we look forward to working with DediPower to accommodate their needs and
achieve our long term strategic goals."
Craig Martin, CEO of DediPower states, "Our hosting facilities are ideal
for service providers like Extrinsica for whom availability is crucial. Their
reputation can be made or lost on the reliability of their software
platforms. We are passionate about making sure that their Cloud environment
is safe and secure to optimise their system performance and deliver
outstanding return on their investment."
