SMB-focused cloud hosting provider Hostway launches a collection of virtual and dedicated private cloud services based on Windows Server 2012 and Windows Azure Pack (WAP).
According to the company the cloud services and related management technologies integrates with Windows Server, System Server and SQL server, and offer SMBs "greater and granular control over their cloud."
Meanwhile the Windows Server 2012 R2 foundation adds performance enhancements, failover improvements (via Hyper-V live migration capabilities) and self-service management of virtual machines and cloud resources through the WAP interface.
"Many organisations lack the bandwidth to fully manage their environments given their internal constraints. With our new private cloud, they can now look to Hostway for that management," the company says. "This also enables customers using the Microsoft stack to easily move between public, private, hybrid and dedicated services as their business needs change."
