October 17, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Managed dedicated hosting provider Layered Technologies (http://www.layeredtech.com) has extended DEFCON across its product line to include Virtual Machines, it was announced recently. The company, which bills itself as a “leading worldwide provider of on-demand IT infrastructure”, has suggested the move is a result of its recent virtualization investments and its acquisition of FastServers.net. Layered Tech’s Grid Layer customers now experience the “same highly developed services” available to the company’s dedicated server customers.
Layered Technologies’ DEFCON managed services allow users to “choose the level of service they want to manage their servers”. DEFCON 5 is available to customers who want to manage all aspects of their server applications, and options transition to DEFCON 1, which comprises full server management and monitoring by Layered Tech.
“For years, Layered Tech has created flexible solutions that remove server costs and complexity so that customers can focus on their core business and leave server management to us,” explained John Pozadzides, Chief Marketing Officer at Layered Tech. “The extension of DEFCON managed services to our Grid Layer virtual machines is another powerful value-creating tool for our customers. Our roots are as a hosting provider that works closely with customers, and we re continuing to do that in the area of virtualization by giving our customers even greater choice when it comes to defining the amount of security, support, monitoring, and specialized software that is associated with their virtualization environment.”
“We are able to offer DEFCON managed services across our suite of hosted infrastructure offerings because Layered Tech has made solid strategic decisions, including our investments in virtualization technologies and our acquisition of FastServers.net,” added Layered Tech CEO, Jack Finlayson. “Just like our traditional dedicated server hosted business has stood the test of time, we strongly believe that Layered Tech’s virtualization strategy has already positioned us far ahead of other providers. In fact, virtualization solutions are the fastest-growing segment of our product and service portfolio, and we look forward to continuing to deliver cutting-edge virtualization solutions by working closely with and for our customers.”
