StoneFly creates strategic alliance with leading hosting provider Simpaticorp

Aug. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Hayward, Calif. – August 2, 2011 – StoneFly, the pioneer of iSCSI technology and a leading manufacturer of integrated IP Storage Area Network (SAN) systems today announce a partnership with virtual hosting provider Simpaticorp. As a StoneFly’s SCVM™ Certified Hosting Partner program, Simpaticorp will work with StoneFly to provide businesses with a fully functional offsite business continuity solution that combines StoneFly’s powerful SCVM™ Virtual IP SAN with Simpaticorp’s reliable hosting services. Integrating these two technologies will allow users to seamlessly expand their SAN onto the cloud.

SCVM’s robust infrastructure generates a fully functional IP SAN within a Virtual Machine (VM) with centralized management that federates local, remote, and cloud storage into a single, cooperating resource pool. These resources can be easily allocated to the cloud with offsite hosting.

"We are excited to have the opportunity to provide StoneFly's customers with reliable, secure, scalable, data center storage at an affordable price," says Simpaticorp President, Michael Baumann.

For the past 5 years, Simpaticorp has been providing industrial grade virtual machines for enterprise organizations. Built on VMWare’s ESXi hypervisor platform, Simpaticorp’s hosting service is the ideal platform for integration with SCVM™.
