New Cloud Enterprise Ordering

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

From: Adam C. Greenfield, User Experience Manager

This has been a crazy week at Hosting.com. We spent the early part of the week getting everything sorted out with the Newark cloud after a storage issue and things are moving as quickly as ever on the engineering side of the house. I’m pretty excited that we are starting to get the first modules for our portal developed by our groups internally and by our partners. The portal team has started the process of integrating these modules while we address a few bugs that have been reported by our staff and customer. The other major initiative underway is getting a private version of our Cloud Enterprise offering out the door. It looks like the settled product name will be Cloud Private and the idea is that you will have all the same functionality in the portal as a Cloud Enterprise customer – but have your resources provisioned on dedicated hardware nodes that only contain your Virtual Machines.

A few weeks ago now, I recorded a Customer Portal demo to give everyone a feeling for the Cloud functionality in our portal today. I turned it over to marketing and product management but I imagine they are still working it through their internal processes, so I wanted to get it out there in front of everyone here first.

I have some higher res versions that hopefully they’ll use when we get this formally posted to our site. As always – feedback welcome and I love hearing from our customers or prospective customers.
