Cloud Hosting

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

CloudSigma, the only international, customer-centric, pure-cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider, today announced that it has joined cloud aggregator Besols Tapp platform, a cloud infrastructure management service, still in Beta. CloudSigma is the newest public cloud provider to join Tapp, opening up its flexible, customer-centric IaaS platform to current and future Tapp customers. With the Tapp platform, companies can not only deploy their infrastructure into a public cloud environment and manage their cloud servers more easily, but they can also migrate seamlessly between cloud IaaS providers, or fail over automatically in the event of a cloud outage.

CloudSigma offers a 100 percent virtual server availability and network uptime guarantee, making it an ideal partner for Tapps disaster recovery service. With this service, customers that have contracts in place for multiple IaaS cloud providers can instantly and automatically fail over to a working provider, such as CloudSigma, should their primary cloud service go down. This is especially beneficial during large cloud outages, such as Amazons 2011 failure that left many businesses without access to services, data or critical applications. Had they been using Tapp, however, Amazons customers could have easily switched to CloudSigmas platform as soon as it detected problems with Amazons service.

CloudSigma was one of the first IaaS providers we approached to be a part of our Tapp platform, said Javier Prez-Griffo, Besol Founder. Its uniquely-flexible offering really intrigued us, and we were blown away by its high-performance capabilities. Specifically, we found its SSD storage offering to be a valuable asset for the Tapp platform, especially with many of our clients high I/O requirements. Additionally, as CloudSigma charges in five-minute intervals, instead of typical hour splits, this creates a truly dynamic offering that fits in well with our migration services and gives customers the most optimized payment process possible.

CloudSigmas overall strategy and approach to its public cloud offering aligns perfectly with Tapps aim to maximize the flexibility benefits of cloud computing while eliminating vendor lock-in. With CloudSigmas complete data portability and fully independent, scalable resources, it integrated perfectly with the Tapp platform, especially as its open software layer allows companies to deploy any desired applications or operating systems in CloudSigmas cloud. This makes migrations and instant fail overs through Tapp a truly seamless process.

From our inception, we have understood how valuable the flexible nature of the cloud is and have aimed to reduce the limitations imposed by other cloud providers, said Patrick Baillie, CloudSigma CEO. When we first looked at the Tapp platform, it became clear that they had a similar goal in mind. Now, its even easier for companies who may be dissatisfied with other providers storage, performance or resources to migrate onto our IaaS platform and take advantage of our unprecedented, flexible approach that gives our customers complete control of their deployments. Overall, were very pleased to be working with Besol and to be part of its Tapp service.
