OpSource Beefs Up Cloud Performance With New Silicon Valley Data Center

OpSource, which was acquired earlier this year by Dimension Data and is now its wholly-owned enterprise cloud and managed hosting business, said the new facility will serve as a new space for hosting cloud solutions for development and production clouds. OpSource said the facility is enterprise-ready, offering security, administrative controls, high-performance SLAs and integrated management and billing. Partners and clients can provision, access and manage multiple locations through a single Web interface and clients leveraging multiple cloud hosting locations will be able to receive a single bill that integrates usage across all facilities.

"As home to the highest concentration of software and web-based businesses in the world, Silicon Valley is a natural fit for this newest hosting facility," said Treb Ryan, OpSource CEO in a statement. "In a place this innovative and fast-paced, a secure, low-latency development environment for testing applications and services in the cloud is a necessity."

The new Silicon Valley data center is another stop in Dimension Data integrating OpSource into its Cloud Solutions Business Unit, which the company said it plans to continue to expand with the addition of more private, public and hybrid cloud plays.

The launch of a new data center comes as OpSource continues to up its cloud ante. In March, OpSource added hardware-based security and networking bundles for its servers to give cloud users more agility and protection. The bundles add hardware-based security and networking to its Cloud Servers offering to deliver secure cloud computing to more businesses. The company said ISVs, cloud providers, carriers and enterprises can leverage the bundles for secure cloud computing environments.

And following its June acquisition by Dimension Data, OpSource launched a new program in which it certifies and validates cloud computing products on its cloud platform, giving partners and customers assurance that the pre-approved products will integrate into their cloud ecosystems. The Validated Cloud Solutions Program certifies and validates that cloud products can be integrated and will interoperate in an enterprise cloud environment.
