SingleHop Showcases Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure Capabilities

CHICAGO, Nov. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SingleHop, a leading provider of highly scalable, automated, on-demand bare metal and cloud infrastructure, today launched a new campaign to promote its hybrid cloud capabilities. Through its integrated LEAP platform, clients are able to design and deploy fully integrated hybrid configurations comprised of bare metal servers, virtualization, public cloud, and private cloud environments. The combination offers SingleHop clients an unparalleled degree of flexibility.

Founded in 2006, SingleHop has helped pioneer the global infrastructure-as-a-service movement by enabling businesses and service providers in the design, deployment, and management of a wide range of hosted infrastructure solutions through one, unified portal. SingleHop's proprietary automation technology allows organizations to quickly deploy or migrate workloads to hosted infrastructure in SingleHop's global data centers. By integrating its secure data center footprint, robust remote management toolkit, and industry-leading SLAs, SingleHop helps clients manage their systems with enhanced economic efficiency.

Why is a hybrid cloud solution so important for businesses today?
One common use case combines cloud agility, scalability, performance, value added managed services, security, and compliance. Dealing with unexpected spikes in traffic and resource usage can often be a nightmare for e-commerce merchants. Public clouds can handle sudden spikes in traffic with ease; however, they do not always address regulatory compliance and security standards, such as PCI. By deploying hybrid infrastructure components cohesively into a single solution, businesses can meet their objectives at a granular level. In the above example, deploying private cloud VMs with a bare metal database server creates a platform that is flexible, performance-based, and compliant: a perfect hybrid e-commerce environment.

"SingleHop's Hybrid Cloud solution is more of a roadmap to use our infrastructure products, than any particular product. It's the idea that the ideal infrastructure configuration for a business often consists of more than just one type of infrastructure," said Zak Boca, CEO, SingleHop. "By thinking about our infrastructure products as components for a larger solution, we're able to deliver better efficiency and value to our clients than pure-play cloud or bare metal configurations."
