These days, everybody is talking about cloud computing and virtualization. I guess we should, too. This will be short, though, since I want to de-mystify the concepts.
- Virtualization
- We have been using virtualization for our hosting platforms for almost seven years. It’s old hat. When you get a Virtual Private Server from us, it is a virtual machine, living inside a larger physical machine.
- Cloud Computing
- We use cloud computing for our Nest Egg Backup for Web Servers and Cross Browser Testing products. These run “in the cloud” only when you need them and the computers to run them do not even exist when no one is using them.
Why don’t we hype the buzzwords all over our web site? Because we think that the actual solution provided by our products is more interesting that the underlying technology.
