February 22, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting provider Rails Machine (http://www.railsmachine.com) is leveraging Force10’s reliable networking product portfolio to “deliver maximum network uptime to its demanding customer base of professional developers”, it was revealed yesterday.
According to the company, “Rails Machine has deployed the TeraScale E-Series(R) family of switch/routers and S-Series family of access switches to provide the network transparency required to monitor and optimize traffic on up to 10 virtual machines per physical server”.
"Virtual machines have allowed us to deliver a unique service to our customers, and we needed a network that could support this service without complicating management," explained Rails Machine’s CEO, Bradley Taylor. "The combination of the Force10 E300 and S50s allows us to scale our network infrastructure as traffic dictates, giving us the capacity to expand without a huge upfront cost."
"As virtualization emerges in the data center, transparency becomes crucial in ensuring the health and performance of the network," added Force10 Networks’ Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales, James Hanley. "The flexibility of the Force10 product portfolio allows Rails Machine to optimize its network with a modular solution that provides redundancy while enabling seamless growth in the network as the need arises."
