DRFortress Releases First Local, Pay-as-You-Use, Cloud Computing Service

DRFortress, the largest and only carrier-neutral datacenter and cloud services provider operating in Hawaii, has recently introduced DRFcloud, the first local, pay-as-you-use, cloud computing services, for Hawaii and the Pacific Rim.

Offered in partnership with IaaS pioneer, Appcore, this new service is maintained at the DRFortress datacenter in Hawaii with redundant mainland nodes for disaster recovery purposes.

Entities of all sizes can implement their own private networks using virtual servers with nothing more than a few mouse-clicks.

In a press release, Fred Rodi, president, DRFortress, said, "With our new DRFcloud computing service, we have revolutionized Hawaii's cloud market by introducing no contract, pay-as-you-need, on-demand utility computing. Clients only pay for the computing power they actually use. In this time of tight budgets, businesses and government agencies are increasingly turning to cloud computing as a means of providing flexible computing resources while lowering capital expenses."

Officials said that companies can self-provision this new service instantaneously online through the DRFortress secure management portal at www.drfcloud.com.

With the help of this new service, service providers and IT departments will be able to use Appcore Onsite to launch applications and cloud servers on demand with the click of a single button.

Marc Staimer, president of Dragon Slayer Consulting, said, "DRFortress has demonstrated extraordinary vision in delivering the first 'On-Demand, Pay-by-the-Drink' Cloud Storage and now the same for Cloud Computing Services to Hawaii. Hawaii IT organizations are now able to cost effectively take advantage of the cloud services revolution knowing their data and applications will be always be available regardless of local conditions."
