Host.net Adds Cloud Computing

The expanded services give enterprises the option to outsource the management of mission-critical applications to Host.net without making a capital investment in their own servers, significantly reducing costs by sharing network resources. The new service, available immediately, utilizes existing Fairway Consulting Group infrastructure including best-of-breed virtualization technologies. Key Fairway executives have also joined Host.net, providing virtual computing expertise as well as paving the way for development of new joint services. Fairway has provided compute, storage and desktop virtualization services to the SMB and enterprise markets, including Fortune 500 clients, since 2004.

The demand for cloud computing is exploding because of the economics. We have been planning to expand our services to include virtualization for some time,” said Jeffrey Davis, co-founder and CEO of Host.net. “Acquiring Fairway Consulting Group enables us to ramp up quickly, leverage our 50-city footprint, and offer robust, cost-effective cloud computing capabilities that have been road-tested by some of the country’s most demanding companies. We were already using Host.net’s colocation services. It made sense to join forces,” said Jeffrey Slapp, co-founder, president and chief architect of Fairway Consulting Group and now Vice President of Virtualization Services of Host.net.
