iland Internet Solutions Joins VMware Service Provider Program to Deliver Cloud Computing Services across One Common Platform

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iland Internet Solutions, a leading global provider of Virtualization and Cloud Hosting Services featuring Hosted VMware VI Enterprise solutions, Managed Colocation and High Speed IP Bandwidth announced today its participation in the VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP). This relationship will provide iland’s customers access to new virtualization-enabled solutions, applications and services with proven reliability, broad application coverage and unique mobility features.

This additional flexibility will allow iland customers to more effectively utilize their hardware resources through VMware virtualization solutions, enabling customers to do more with less during tight, economic times. Instead of paying for a dedicated set of servers to run an application, the new cloud-computing model allows customers to dynamically scale their hardware requirements to match the needs of the application. If capacity demand rises, additional server and storage resources can be provisioned automatically.

Unlike other compute clouds that require applications to be built specifically to a single cloud computing platform and require complete rewrites of existing applications, iland’s VMware solutions enable millions of existing applications to run simultaneously in a VMware-based infrastructure cloud without modification. For any size organization, this application compatibility can provide the flexibility to run applications where it makes the most sense, whether on premise or in the cloud.

“We’re working with VMware to help ensure our clients have access to the latest technology in cloud hosting,” states Brian Ussher, President of iland Internet Solutions. “iland can now leverage the large range of applications that run on the VMware platform as well as the 1,000+ appliances in the VMware Virtual Appliance Marketplace. Now, deploying new applications to the cloud or on premise is fast, easy and affordable.”

“VMware welcomes iland to the VMware Service Provider Program,” said Geoff Waters, director of emerging channels, VMware. “iland’s expertise in virtualization and managed IT services is a valuable addition to our program, which includes more than 100 services partners worldwide. We look forward to accelerating the ability of iland to deliver our latest technology to customers, and to help ensure more affordable and reliable application hosting and infrastructure services.”
