With the launch of its new iWeb Cloud Servers, Canadian infrastructure as a service (IaaS) leader iWeb has become the first in the industry to offer scalable pay-per-use cloud servers with proven, guaranteed performance stability, QoS and the rapid innovation of OpenStack cloud computing.

Businesses, developers and service providers who depend on the flexibility of cloud hosting can now enjoy it without the noisy neighbor effect that has traditionally been a symptom of public cloud infrastructures. Two months beta testing has proven iWeb Cloud Servers to provide consistent performance, regardless of workload spikes, and without any impact from other tenants. Its an achievement thats as much down to iWebs vision of ending the cloud compromise as it is to the iWeb Clouds advanced technologies, as iWebs Chief Technology Officer Cyrille Mertes explains:

For all the technological superiority of the iWeb Cloud, its actually understanding what people want from cloud hosting that has made this service different right from the get go, explains Cyrille. We looked around the market and asked ourselves, what do customers dream of getting from cloud services? The answer was even more of the flexibility and efficiency that makes cloud hosting great, without the compromise of unpredictable performance and local storage restrictions.

iWebs vision was realised thanks to cloud engineering that combines OpenStack open source cloud computing software innovated by over 12,000 developers and SolidFire all SSD centralized storage that provides guaranteed QoS and burstable disk speeds for linear, predictable server performance as workloads change. The picture is completed by iWebs Canada-based 24/7 support and its Control Center interface, where servers can be deployed and deleted instantly, and where CPU/RAM and storage can be scaled independently of one another another of the iWeb Clouds dream features.

The last five years have seen amazing advancements in Cloud computing noted iWeb President Christian Primeau, explaining what makes iWeb Cloud Servers stand out from the crowd. Cloud hosting offers flexibility and efficiency, but people also need to have confidence in their hosting partner. Until now you had to chose one or the other, but with the iWeb Cloud thats not the case. If you want scalable pay-per-use servers, you can have it, and then some. iWeb Cloud Servers have independently scalable resources and all SSD storage thats twice as fast as other clouds, and they also offer rock-solid performance consistency thats clearly there to see in your user experience.

We think thats real value, and a really important evolution for cloud hosting. Were proud to have built the most reliable and advanced cloud in our industry, and were proud to have done it here at iWeb, concludes Mr. Primeau.
