RackForce Launches DDS-V Based on Microsoft Hyper-V
Hyper-V Hosting News – Kelowna, BC, Canada – RackForce Networks announced the launch of “DDS-V”, the latest in its virtual server line of Dynamic Dedicated Servers. The DDS-V is a robust “cloud computing” environment that combines Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization technology, IBM SAN based storage and powerful IBM x3950 servers.
RackForce’s General Manager Randall Robinson explained, “RackForce has long been touted as the ‘virtualization experts’. Since RackForce’s launch of its Dynamic Dedicated Services strategy in 2003 we have been providing advanced hosting solutions through virtual server technology to a global market. With the DDS-V initiative we asked our solutions/product team to build an enterprise class solution with complete ON Demand scalability. We believe we are the first to market with such a powerful and scalable solution that is based on technology from major vendors.”
DDS-V separates storage, CPU and memory resources from the physical server. Unlike traditional virtual server solutions DDS-V resources can be scaled instantly since the data is stored on a SAN and not on traditional hard drives contained within the physical server hardware.
James Bothe, one of RackForce’s server virtualization experts and Chief Solutions Architect commented, “We have been working with Hyper-V in its various incarnations since the first alpha version came out. Microsoft did a great job getting out a solid virtualization technology. When we combined it with the IBM SAN and x3950 servers it all came together. I believe we have hit it out of the park with the DDS-V solution.”
The DDS-V was designed for SaaS and hosting requirements and is available now by going to RackForce’s web site at http://www.rackforce.com. Discounts are available for qualified resellers.
