The public beta release of our cloud infrastructure has been well received, with particular interest in the fact that we are the world’s first KVM-based cloud. KVM is a modern virtualization platform which is built into mainline Linux, has strong backing from major Linux vendors such as Red Hat and is a key component of our advanced infrastructure. KVM enables us to support a wider range of x86 and x64 PC operating systems with high performance and to offer our customers access right down to BIOS level for ultimate control of their servers.

Coverage of our launch includes Reuven Cohen writing on ElasticVapor and Antonio Piraino writing for Tier 1 Research.

ElasticHosts has released the first wave of capacity on its cloud infrastructure as a public beta.

ElasticHosts provides flexible server capacity in the UK to our customers for scalable web hosting, on-demand burst computing and other uses. We are the second publically-available cloud infrastructure to launch outside the US.

Our customers benefit from:

• Instantly scalable on-demand server capacity, with a free selection of CPU, memory and disk sizes to suit any application.

• UK data centre, offering fast direct links to the UK/EU internet and ensuring that your data stays within EU jurisdiction and data protection laws.

• Competitive prices for both subscription and burst use. Buy exactly the capacity you need, when you need it.

• Advanced KVM virtualization technology, delivering the full power of our infrastructure to your servers, and supporting any PC operating system.
