Included with this release, customers utilizing VMware cloud and Canadian Private Cloud services will also see improved management capabilities and a user-friendly web interface with improved LUN management. This aggregates the storage backend systems and automates the provisioning and allocation of that storage. There are also new command line (CLI-based) tools that automate repetitive tasks, and a new vCenter Content Library that helps synchronize and provision customer VM templates, ISOs and OVFs across their sites and servers. 

Recently, Canadian Web Hosting announced their upgraded VMware-based vSAN distributed storage service was being included with all of their VMware cloud services.  With distributed storage, customers get enterprise-grade SSDs for high-performance read/write caching, in combination with hard drives, for cost-effective data persistence and enterprise grade reliability.   By utilizing this vSAN distributed storage technology, Canadian Web Hosting is able to offer their customers increased storage reliability, lower costs and greater flexibility for their server infrastructure and cloud requirements. 

"VMware 6 delivers a suite of new services and upgrades that significantly improves our customers' capabilities.  Whether it is a Private Cloud or enterprise-grade virtual machines, Canadian Web Hosting customers can be confident they are using best-in-breed virtualization and storage capabilities.  Looking ahead, we are also happy to see continued integration of OpenStack allowing us to further our support of OpenStack Cloud Computing in Canada," said Matt McKinney, Chief Strategy Officer at Canadian Web Hosting.
