Health Care IT - A Decision Makers Guide to Cloud Computing and Managed Server Hosting

Thursday, July 1st, 2010 by kristina-davis

Virtualization has created new possibilities and opportunities for the health care segment of technology. Health care IT Professionals specializing in virtualization technologies are now finding more attractive and lucrative opportunities, especially with the new Health Care Reform and health care IT initiatives introduced by the new Administration.

Virtualization is the technology behind cloud computing and it makes such a pool of network resources a genuine possibility.

Managed Server Hosting:

Managed server hosting is a phrase used to describe the way a hosting plan is designed to function. Managed hosting is the better way to host your critical infrastructure, providing high security and fully redundant backup power supplies, 24/7 monitoring and access, round the clock engineers and much more. Managed hosting revolutionized the way organizations established their working presence on the Internet which  enabled them to conduct commerce online. Managed hosting handled by the Service Provider is ideal for organizations that don’t have the time, resources or operational expertise to handle server operations, applications and upkeep of their key infrastructure. Organizations that have a need for dedicated resources generally choose the managed server hosting option.

Dedicated Virtualization and the Structure of a Private Cloud:

Private cloud technologies have revolutionized the way the Internet accesses information over the Internet. Using VMware, Xen or Hyper-V, a private network is set up with an operating system that uses very little system resources.

This creates the possibility to include more than one virtual server on one physical hardware server. It creates a more efficient usage of system resources and delivers content faster than other dedicated server solutions. It’s all a matter of receiving as many resources as you need. Server A might only need one core and 3 GB of RAM to function properly, while server B might need a custom-tailored cloud hosting solution. (more…)

How to choose a Cloud Provider, a fresh perspective from Web 2.0 conference 2010!

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010 by kristina-davis

Cloud computing has been steadily gaining momentum in contending with the managed server and dedicated server markets.  For some, there are serious advantages to cloud computing.  For others, there are major reservations, but this is understandable since cloud computing is still in its early phases of deployment.  For early adopters of cloud computing, there are various platform options available but a lot of confusion and hype involved as well.  One has to diligently do their homework when evaluating options.  When Atlantic.Net sponsored the Annual Web2.0 conference this year in San Francisco, cloud computing was the topic of conversation among many attendees.  Believe it or not, there were almost eight cloud hosting service providers in attendance as well as all the major server colocation and managed server hosting providers and all were showcasing their latest cloud offerings.  Even though Atlantic.Net is still beta-testing our cloud product, we are confident that our cloud will outperform and outlast most available cloud products.  (more…)

What Impact Will Cloud Computing Have On Social Media?

Sunday, March 7th, 2010 by Adnan Raja

Cloud computing is a big buzzword in the IT industry right now.  Seemingly every company, networking event, or news story mentions cloud computing and the hype that surrounds it.  While there are major differences in opinion about the pros and cons of the technology, there are tremendous benefits associated with it.  For example, the technology can help start-up companies innovate and create rational business models that were not possible previously.  Thanks to cloud computing and server virtualization technologies, start-ups are now better leveraged to succeed in the deflationary economy than ever before!

Atlantic.Net was a proud sponsor of the Florida Linux Show, which was held at the Radisson Resort Orlando –Celebration, October 24, 2009. What a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Open Source Software (OSS) and its wide applications. Thanks to Florida Linux Alliance for putting together such a great event!  This year’s event was prominently sponsored by RedHat, one of the most well known distribution vendors of Linux, and of course Atlantic.Net!

There were various halls reserved for presentations and for the sponsor exhibits. Speakers from a range of organizations gave very informative presentations throughout the day.  I decided to sit in on several of the sessions focusing on virtualization along with Jon L. and others.
