Monday, July 26th, 2010  |  by Rajan Sodhi  |   No Comments

GPU Cloud Nvidia Tesla Today at the 37th Annual Siggraph International Conference, we announced the availability of the first ever GPU Cloud powered by NVIDIA® Tesla™ graphic processor units. This new service offers large-scale computing on demand for applications such as graphics rendering, complex quantitative processing, video compression, and large-model 3D web services. We’re also offering RealityServer® 3D web application software developed by Mental Images on the platform. RealityServer delivers interactive, photorealistic applications over the web using the iray® renderer, allowing animators, product designers, architects and consumers to easily visualize 3D scenes with remarkable realism. PEER 1 Hosting will install and support RealityServer for customers who wish to access the software on demand in our hosted GPU Cloud. For a limited time only, we are offering new customers free trials and proof-of-concepts.

PEER 1 Hosting Supports OpenStack Open Source Cloud Platform

Monday, July 19th, 2010  |  by Rajan Sodhi  |   No Comments

OpenStack Opensource Cloud PlatformOpenStack™ is a new open-source cloud platform that was officially launched earlier today by Rackspace, with the support of many industry players including Dell, Citrix, and ourselves at PEER 1 Hosting / ServerBeach. The company has donated the code that powers its cloud computing and cloud storage to the OpenStack project. It will also incorporate technology that powers the NASA Nebula Cloud Platform.

Last week, we attended the design summit in Austin, TX along with 25 other companies – including many of our peers – in a show of support, and to help validate the code and ratify the project roadmap. The goal of OpenStack is to help drive industry standards and prevent vendor lock-in, which in turn should speed up the pace of cloud innovation. This innovation is key to PEER 1 Hosting’s support. We believe an open-source cloud platform has the potential to help us serve our customers with better technology sooner, and the ability to improve upon it faster. You can get involved as well. To download or contribute code, visit OpenStack.org. Follow the conversation on Twitter @OpenStack.

Infrastructure for Innovation

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010  |  by Rajan Sodhi  |   No Comments

A difficult economy is impacting IT investments, but advanced communications infrastructures bring opportunities for innovation and cost savings.

IT leaders understand the need to drive business value by leveraging voice, data and network infrastructures. They know that advanced communications services are the backbone of effective customer experiences, providing businesses with quick, efficient and cost-effective ways to reach out and respond to clients and prospects. In that and many other respects, these services contribute to exactly what the business wants in these challenging economic times—lower operating costs, higher revenue, and effective and rapid delivery of new offerings to the market.

Faced with declining funds to invest in these services in a down economy, CIOs must provide their C-level peers with compelling arguments to build new “infrastructures for innovation.” Companies that are still investing see enabling convergence, increasing scalability, and expanding application and information access as efforts that are both vital to opening new frontiers for the business and doing away with the unnecessary costs of legacy environments.

Where Opportunity Lies
Fortunately, both business and IT executives acknowledge that more sophisticated infrastructures bring opportunities for innovation, cost savings and productivity improvements. In a recent survey conducted by IDG Research Services and Fortune Custom Publishing, nearly nine out of ten senior IT and business executives say that data, voice and network services can be leveraged to drive innovation, and they cite facilitating remote access to critical applications and speeding up customer service among the top advances these services enable. Both sets of respondents believe that companies that continue to invest in data, voice and network services during slow economic times will gain important benefits, such as improved efficiencies and reduced costs, and better collaboration.

At PEER 1 Hosting, we’re here to help. We cut through the frustration of under-performing technology and poor service, delivering the power of the internet to any organization that needs it. Interested in learning more about how we can help your business today? Give us a call at 1..866.579.9690.
