ILAND INTERNET SOLUTIONS EXPANDS ITS VIRTUAL DATA CENTER OFFERING TO THE EAST COAST VIA TWO CRG WEST DATA CENTERS

WITH THE ADDITION OF THESE TWO HIGH AVAILABILITY HUBS, ILAND CAN NOW OFFER CLOUD HOSTING SERVICES, REPLICATION, DISASTER RECOVERY AND COLOCATION SOLUTIONS IN FIVE CRITICAL LOCATIONS ACROSS AMERICA                 

Houston, TX (April 21, 2009) - iland Internet Solutions, a leading global provider of Cloud Hosting Services featuring Hosted VMware VI Enterprise solutions, Managed Colocation and High Speed IP Bandwidth today announces its expansion to the East Coast of the United States, with two new iland Virtual Data Centers at CRG West in Boston and Northern Virginia.  These new high-availability hubs offer virtualization-enabled solutions, applications and services for iland’s customers, providing proven reliability, broad application coverage and unique mobility features within these markets.  With the addition of these new data centers, iland is able to replicate data across the country instantaneously. Additionally, the Virtual Data Centers offer traditional Colocation, Managed Storage, iland’s high speed, blended Tier1 IP and cost-effective Disaster Recovery with instant failover and replication capabilities to all of the other iland hubs across the country. 

Each of iland’s Virtual Data Centers, now located in Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Boston and the DC area, includes access to iland’s hosted vmware VI Enterprise Solutions, where businesses can host multiple operating systems and applications locally and in remote locations, allowing maximum performance, high availability, data protection and improved disaster recovery processes; while reducing organizations’ costs for space, power and equipment.  For example, if a natural disaster affects a company’s corporate data center location anywhere in the country, that customer can failover to one of iland’s Virtual Data Centers across America. So even if that hurricane or tornado hit, the company could still have “all systems go” including fax, Internet, email and blackberries, all while saving money month after month on traditional colocation costs.
Additionally, the Virtual Data Centers offer iland customers mission critical dedicated servers, managed SAN storage, managed network and security services, with access to iland’s cost-effective, Tier-1, high-speed IP network and carrier-neutral connectivity across a variety of global networks. Whether the iland customer is local or global, iland’s certified technicians are available for infrastructure and network consultation, disaster recovery planning, and network monitoring.  This is in addition to the qualified CRG West technicians that are on-site in the highly secure Boston and Reston data centers.

“We are proud to announce the openings of our iland Virtual Data Centers near Boston and DC as we continue to expand iland’s virtualization and cloud computing technology across America,” states Scott Sparvero, CEO of iland Internet Solutions. “We strategically select the cities that have a growing demand for bandwidth-intensive services and applications, and we select key, state-of-the-art buildings within these cities, such as CRG West’s facilities, to house our hubs according to the highest industry standards. This guarantees iland customers the most secure and robust network and cost-saving opportunities.”

“We are pleased to welcome iland’s innovative, virtualized hosting and replication services to our Boston and Northern Virginia data centers,” commented David Dunn, CRG West Senior Vice President. “Our company is committed to delivering reliable data center space and providing exceptional access to other networks under one roof.
