Cloud-A, a Halifax provider of cloud delivery solutions, released the following press release:
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada – April 16th, 2014, Cloud-A, a Canadian leader in cloud delivery solutions for high performance software applications, announced today that it has developed a new automation technology for cloud providers called “Bricks”.
This advancement solves the problem that developers and system administrators have where they are spending far too much time setting up, patching and updating server side services that add little value to their end customer. The new service launched today is an OpenStack orchestration and automation module that was developed by the Cloud-A team to deploy custom-configured instances, and keep them up to date with the latest security patches and offer OS level support for those instances for their lifetime. "Our clients didn’t have to lift a finger when the Heartbleed bug hit, we automatically patched the vulnerability for them while they were sleeping" Says: Brandon Kolybaba, one of the 3 co-founders of Cloud-A.
The new offering closely resembles a Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution as it seamlessly automates the delivery of custom-configured server environments for developers who deploy solutions with Ruby / Rails, Python / Django, and more traditional PHP / Apache server configurations. In fact, the solution is technically an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution bundled with an advanced automation tool set that doesn’t exist within other platforms in the marketplace today. In addition, the company also offers automation solutions for the delivery and maintenance of MariaDB (MySQL), PostgreSQL, & Redis databases. The company has indicated that they also plan to introduce options for Node.js, Wordpress, & Drupal development environments in the coming weeks.
Earlier this year Cloud-A launched a Canadian based high performance public cloud infrastructure (IaaS) offering powered by OpenStack that has grown swiftly over the past several months. There is strong demand for open public cloud compute in Canada as most of the players to market are not offering on demand, billable by the hour products that include automated capabilities (API) at price points that are competitive with the major US based providers.
