ServerPoint.com has announced full availability of ColossusCloud, the company's "3rd generation" Linux and Windows cloud VPS hosting platform. Previously the solution had only been available in selected locations, with the last availability point being Virginia, USA. ColossusCloud prices start at only $15 a month.
Launched in 1998, ServerPoint.com's services include Linux and Windows hosting services, alongside dedicated server hosting and cloud VPS hosting. The company caters to a broad global customer base offering "customer-focused, high-performance web hosting services tailored to meet specific needs of each individual customer". The company's ColossusCloud Generation 3 solution offers a range of features that speeds up virtual machine deployment.
ColossusCloud Generation 3 facilitates rapid resource deployment. The solution keeps operating system templates current on a daily basis, and its hardware storage acceleration means ColossusCloud-powered applications "run faster than any previous generation platforms in the industry". The solution provides excellent scalability, and can be scaled to up to 192GBs of RAM and up to 2TBs of storage. In addition, computing power can be scaled up to eight CPU cores.
"The third generation of our platform is designed to be about five times faster than our previous one, allowing for deployments of virtual machines in just minutes. It is also powered by a brand new 10gigabit network as well as the fastest storage devices in the industry," explained ServerPoint.com's CTO Erik Johnson. "The platform also includes features that no one else offers, such as UpdateCentral, which makes it easy to keep your virtual machines up to date, and intra-zone private networking, a feature that increases security of your data between virtual machines."
