WHIR Interview: CloudLinux CEO and Founder – Igor Seletskiy

Posted by vanessa on July 14th, 2010

Check out Igor Seletskiy, CEO and Founder of Cloud Linux, Inc. and his recent interview with Liam Eagle, Editor of The WHIR, the largest news organization and consumer resource dedicated to the web hosting industry. The interview explores the challenges shared hosting providers face in delivering reliable service and optimizing servers for maximum performance and efficiency.

CloudLinux OS was specifically designed for the hosting marketplace to deliver improved performance, control, stability, and security across shared hosting platforms.

The core technology behind CloudLinux OS is its Lightweight Virtual Environment™ a kernel-level technology that limits the amount of resources (CPU, I/O, memory) available to a group of processes. With LVE, administrators now have the tools to control the CPU and IO demands of individual tenants, so that a single site cannot slow or take down a whole server.

ancotel  Group Founds New Telehouse at 1025 Old Country Road, Long Island, New York

Facility to be developed into a key interconnection hub for connectivity between North America and Europe

 

Westbury, NY U.S.A. - June 30, 2010 – Frankfurt-based ancotel GmbH, operators of the largest and most important telecommunications and data network hub in Europe, announces today that it has acquired LIDARC (“Long Island Data and Recovery Center”), a Long Island-based colocation and interconnection facility located at 1025 Old Country Road (‘1025 OCR’), Westbury, NY.  This acquisition marks ancotel’s first foray into the United States’ data center and colocation market.  The company will leverage Long Island’s telecommunications infrastructure to provide invaluable communication opportunities throughout the Long Island and New York metro area to become the preferred gateway to Europe’s number one telehouse. 

Long Island serves as a key landing point for submarine cables that connect North America to Europe.  Until recently, network infrastructure has often bypassed Long Island to traverse into and through Manhattan. Jason Schafer, Senior Analyst Datacenters for Tier1 Research comments, “Downtown Manhattan has been facing datacenter, power, and real-estate capacity constraints, which is pushing business outwards from downtown to areas such as northern NJ and Long Island.”  In addition, many companies today require diverse routing around New York City as well as lower latency connectivity for critical communications and financial trading applications between Europe, South America and Asia. 

“ancotel is known as one of the most successful companies for telehousing and interconnection services in the world,” states John Reynolds, Managing Director of ancotel USA and former Managing Director of LIDARC.  “The company is committed to its investment on Long Island.  They have plans to transform this facility into a critical meet-me-point for companies, cable operators, carriers, service providers and international companies. This will create jobs in the area and attract an array of industries, such as health care, financial, media and content providers, to Nassau County.  We believe that this facility will be the spark that lights the flame of economic development on Long Island.”

Geography plays an important role in today’s communications age.  With more companies requiring global direct connectivity for voice, data and video traffic, proximity to service providers and applications are increasingly significant.   Data center facilities have become a key ingredient in the success of global enterprise businesses IT infrastructure.   Until ancotel USA’s telehouse opening, Long Island’s data center and colocation market has been overlooked for other geographic locations.  This is why ancotel is committed to establish 1025 Old Country Road in Westbury, NY as the preferred gateway to Europe’s number one telehouse.

“We have been looking at the U.S. data center market for quite some time now,” comments K.-J. Orth, Managing Director of ancotel GmbH and Chief Marketing Officer of ancotel USA, LLC.  “With this acquisition, our proven expertise will enable this facility, located in the most eastern point in the United States, to offer direct interconnectivity to and between trans-Atlantic, Caribbean and Latin American submarine cable systems as well as leading nationwide and global network operators. As a result, ancotel USA will usher in a new dimension of global network interconnection capabilities.”

ancotel will unveil its plans for its colocation and interconnection facility at 1025 Old Country Road, Westbury, New York on Thursday, July 1, 2010 at 10:00am EDT at a press conference on-site.  To access the press conference virtually, please click here or go to http://www.jaymiescotto.com/ancotel.php.  For more information about ancotel, please visit www.ancotel.com.  For information about the press conference and to attend in person or virtually, please contact pr@jaymiescotto.com.

Cartika Increases Density by 5X while Improving Uptime and Performance With CloudLinux

Posted by vanessa on June 3rd, 2010

New Case Study Reveals the Benefits Behind CloudLinux

Princeton, NJ, June 3, 2010Cloud Linux Inc., an innovative software company dedicated to serving the needs of hosting Cloud Linuxservice providers, today announces that Cartika, an industry innovator in cloud hosting services has increased density on its shared hosting servers by 5X using CloudLinux. During a recent server upgrade project, Cartika deployed CloudLinux to help improve the density of its shared hosting infrastructure. After deployment, not only did Cartika increase density and consolidate servers on a ratio of 5 to 1, but were also able to improve uptime and performance. Cloud Linux has released a case study, which chronicles the project and progress achieved during Cartika’s project.

The results of Cartika’s upgrade project further prove the value of the stability and control CloudLinux can give hosting service providers over the server environment for more efficient and profitable operations. CloudLinux invented the Lightweight Virtual Environment™ a kernel-level technology that limits the amount of resources (CPU, I/O, memory) available to a specific process or customer. LVE isolates specific hardware resources in a lightweight container and prevents one tenant on a shared server from affecting others – especially due to a sudden peak load from a single tenant.

“CloudLinux has not only helped us improve the density out of our existing infrastructure, but also helped us realize significantcost savings in other ways,” states Andrew Rouchotas, CEO of Cartika.. “There were significant benefits that helped us save real costs in electricity and cooling but also savings in staff time that allowed us to focus our efforts on revenue generating activities and growing our business.”

By deploying CloudLinux, Cartika maximized its hardware consolidation efforts and improved server density and stability. CloudLinux increased the number of accounts hosted on one server and improved the consolidation efforts – so that now no one account can take down the entire server. Server stability also improved by allowing Cartika to set resource limits on their shared hosting customers without sacrificing uptime or performance. In addition, the Cartika hardware upgrade gave their customers more processing power.

“We are proud to see the real value that CloudLinux is able to deliver to hosting providers, as it shows the benefits of having full control over the hosting environment,” said Igor Seletskiy, Cloud Linux Inc. Founder and CEO.

The results of Cartika’s deployment of CloudLinux were:

  • Increased density by 5X while improving uptime and processing power

  • Reduced overall hardware footprint

  • Improved ROI so they could leverage new hardware available for shared hosting

  • Reduced risks of unpredictable events taking down an entire server

  • Empowered front line technicians to diagnose and solve problems

A BOON FOR FINANCIAL NETWORKS, ALSO COLOCATED IN CLIFTON, WHO REQUIRE LOWEST LATENCY CONNECTIONS FOR HIGH CAPACITY TRADING IN AND AROUND THE CITY

New York, New York – June 3, 2010 – Lexent Metro Connect, a leading provider of dark fiber networks in the New York metropolitan area, announces today its plans to extend its dark fiber network into the Telx facility at 100 Delawanna Avenue in Clifton New Jersey. As Lexent’s sixth New Jersey colocation center, 100 Delawanna will expand upon Lexent’s growing latency sensitive fiber routes built between New York and the major colocation facilities hosting financial exchanges in Northern New Jersey.

Telx, one of the largest and fastest-growing domestic interconnection and colocation data center operators, offers Lexent directTelx and secure access to hundreds of other financial and service provider networks, also colocated in Clifton. Telx customers can then utilize Lexent’s fast, secure and flexible dark fiber solutions to ensure low latency routing to other financial exchanges and trading houses in and around New York metro area and Northern New Jersey.

Telx provides a managed, network-neutral, secure colocation environment and Lexent provides the flexible and shortest, dark fiber routes,” states William Kolman, Executive Vice President of Sales for Telx. “As financial executives continue to increase their need for low latency, partnering with companies like Lexent offers our customers superior network performance that provides a competitive edge on the trading floor.”

In addition, Lexent announces today its plans to extend the New Jersey latency sensitive dark fiber network further south, with dark fiber builds into Carteret and Piscataway. These locations host additional data centers with a high concentration of financial networks present. Lexent’s continued network extension in New Jersey is further evidence of the rising demand from financial companies, trading houses and exchanges for secure, dark fiber routes with shortest distances available to and from the City. These strategic dark fiber network builds to Carteret and Piscataway, along with the Telx Clifton expansion, further demonstrate Lexent’s commitment to providing financial clients in the New Jersey area flexible, and robust network options.

Lexent has always been committed to providing cutting edge network options for our customers. The need for fast connectivity in the financial community has continued to drive our New Jersey Network expansion in the first half of 2010.

Top Hosting Center To Offer CloudLinux On All Of Its Cloud Hosting Solutions

Posted by vanessa on May 26th, 2010

Providing Increased Shared Server Density and Stability to Its Robust Enterprise-Class Hosting Suite

Princeton, NJ, May 26, 2010Cloud Linux Inc., an innovative software company dedicated to serving the needs of hosting service providers, announces today that Top Hosting Center, a cloud-hosting provider based in Montreal, Canada, will offer CloudLinux as one of its standard Linux Operating Systems (OS) on its cloud solutions, including its Cloud Sites and Cloud Servers offerings.  CloudLinux was selected by Top Hosting Center because of the increased density and stability that CloudLinux can provide to its cloud hosting offering. As a new CloudLinux partner, Top Hosting marks the ninth service provider partnership within the first 90 days of the CloudLinux launch.

Top Hosting Center’s Cloud Sites package fills the gap between traditional shared hosting and full dedicated server offerings. The Cloud Sites package provides all the benefits of high availability and robust enterprise-class hosting at an affordable price.  By leveraging CloudLinux’s Lightweight Virtual Environment™ (LVE) technology, Top Hosting Center can further deliver increased performance and stability across all of its hosting options.

“Top Hosting Center believes that hosting customers should expect more from their providers – more flexibility, higher performance, and increased stability. By adding CloudLinux to our stack of services, we are demonstrating that strong commitment to our customers,” said Top Hosting Center CEO Eric Vanier.  “We also believe those services should be delivered at an affordable cost which is why CloudLinux is an excellent solution.”

The core technology behind CloudLinux OS is its Lightweight Virtual Environment™ a kernel-level technology that limits the amount of resources (CPU, I/O, memory) available to a group of processes. This ensures that each account on a shared server is allocated enough CPU resources to run efficiently without jeopardizing the other tenants on that server.

With LVE, administrators now have the tools to control the CPU and IO demands of individual tenants, so that a single site cannot slow or take down a whole server.  Compatible with major control panels for easy management and deployment, CloudLinux offers cloud and dedicated server hosting providers with increased server control and stability.

“As Top Hosting is committed to providing unmatched hosting solutions, by deploying CloudLinux across their service suite, they can further deliver high quality services and ensure maximum uptime for their clients,” states Igor Seletskiy, CloudLinux Founder and CEO.  CloudLinux is a cost-effective way to ensure server stability and optimize service providers’ offerings.
