SAN FRANCISCO, Jul 21, 2008 (Business Wire) - UnitedLayer, an industry leader in Managed Internet Infrastructure & Colocation services, has a new strategy to increase client computing power and flexibility by taking Cloud Computing to the next level. UnitedLayer has added more visibility and control for customers that need dedicated hardware to ensure their business performance levels are met. "This is our brainchild and a fundamental shift in how we handle our clients' production environments. We did our homework and anticipated future needs by providing performance and flexibility in a highly scalable platform," said Richard Donaldson, COO of UnitedLayer. "This came about by collaborating with customers and then co-creating a solution to meet their needs."

UnitedLayer's clients receive the benefits of guaranteed performance without the capital expenditure of buying their own hardware. UnitedLayer's platform supports multiple storage technologies including local and distributed solutions in multiple RAID levels. This modular approach combines performance metrics and accountability to ensure SLAs are at the forefront. UnitedLayer takes its uptime commitment seriously for customers and the managed infrastructure environment reflects this. All gateway functions are dedicated and hardened appliances in HA (high availability) formation - which leverages redundant power and active/passive configurations to scale with customer needs. These features allow customer environments to not be locked into one platform or solution.

"When customers request dedicated hardware you need to respect their wishes. We don't take chances with a customer's application," said Arman Khalili, CEO of UnitedLayer, "By purposefully investing in high performance platform solutions, we avoid the conventional pitfalls that come about with dispensable hardware. This gives us a manageable infrastructure platform with built-in redundancy and smaller carbon footprint due to greater efficiencies. We can deploy solutions remotely for more customers and actually reduce our power consumption and cooling costs."
