Virtacore Unveils vCore Platform

Sep 10, 2010 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Virtacore Systems, a provider of cloud computing solutions designed for the mid-market, has unveiled its vCore platform, an infrastructure-as-a-service offering tailored to meet the swiftly changing needs of mid-market, businesses, independent software vendors and service providers.

According to a release, Virtacore's vCore platform provides a unified management console and seamless upgrade between VMware vCloud Express, a pay-as-you go, on-demand, self-service cloud offering, and private and hybrid VMware-virtualized environments.

"Growing mid-market companies and smart ISVs and service providers want simple, swift and affordable pathways to the efficiencies of the cloud, but they also don't want to end up underpowered without a clear upgrade option," said Tom Kiblin, CEO of Virtacore. "We're focused on providing this segment not only all of the control and service visibility they require, but a level of support that goes well beyond directing them toward self-service tools." Virtacore manages virtual environments in Tier 3 facilities throughout North America.

For customer Indus Corporation, the ability to deploy mission-critical applications and services using both on-premise virtualization and external cloud resources slashed monthly IT operating costs by 30 percent.

"The solution we've put together working with Virtacore has completely changed our company's IT support without disrupting our business," said John Foley, Senior IT Manager for Indus. "Beyond affordability, Virtacore offered the experience, knowledge and quality that we needed in a partner. The ability to support our needs up the stack -- including value-added services such as anti-virus, desktop virtualization and email -- was also a key differentiator." "Virtacore's solution makes it simple for growing organizations to quickly provision and manage cloud infrastructure based on VMware technology," said Dan Chu, vice president, cloud and infrastructure services, VMware. "As both developer-friendly and right-sized for mid-market companies, we're very pleased to have Virtacore as a VMware vCloud Express partner." Virtacore Systems, founded as Defender Hosting, delivers managed hosting and cloud solutions.
