CloudLinux Inc., an innovative software company dedicated to serving
the needs of hosting service providers, announces today that VPS.NET, a
leader in the cloud hosting arena,will begin to offer CloudLinux as one
of its standard Linux Operating Systems (OS) on all of its VPS cloud
offerings. VPS.NET is an elastic cloud hosting provider offering
instant scalable Virtual Private Server (VPS) solutions. VPS.NET
selected CloudLinux because of the increased flexibility and control
that the CloudLinux OS provides VPS.NET across its cloud computing
architecture. By leveraging its Lightweight Virtual Environment™
(LVE) technology, the CloudLinux OS allows VPS.NET to deliver increased
performance and flexibility to its suite of secure cloud service
offerings.
With offices in the U.K. and the U.S., VPS.NET is a Virtual Private
Server Cloud solution provider offering a flexible, innovative
alternative to traditional hosting. VPS works by allocating a
partitioned portion of a physical server, then breaks its
infrastructure into “nodes,” or blocks of resources (376MB of RAM, 10GB
storage, 250GB transfer, and 600Mhz CPU share) that can be pooled
together in various ways to create custom virtual machines.
“VPS.NET customers want full control and flexibility from their
cloud solutions,” states Ditlev Bredahl, CEO of UK2 Group, parent
company to VPS.NET. “CloudLinux provides our clients another way to
have full control over their hosted environments, adding new levels of
server stability and performance which is so critical to our growing
client base.”
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. While similar in approach to container virtualization,
LVE is lightweight and transparent. The LVE level fair-share CPU
scheduler makes sure that each account gets enough CPU resources to run
efficiently. This innovative CloudLinux OS technology offers service
providers increased control as never realized before with traditional
OS.
CloudLinux OS will provide additional benefits to VPS.NET customers including:
Innovative LVE technology that increases server stability and performance with less downtime
Complete, 24/7 support
Compatibility with the major control panel for easy management and deployment
“VPS.NET’s offering is based on providing reliable and resilient
services. The CloudLinux OS provides even greater control and
efficiency to deliver the high quality services demanded by VPS.NET
clients,” states Igor Seletskiy, CEO and Founder of CloudLinux.
With a full range of benefits for both shared hosting and cloud
providers such as VPS.NET, as well as data center partners, the
CloudLinux OS offers innovative technology to streamline server
management; increase control and stability; and improve overall
performance.
