Elastic Servers are now fortified with the recommended daily allowance of iron - Virtual Iron, that is! Today, we are happy to unveil a new virtualization format within our Elastic Server factory: Virtual Iron is immediately available as a download option.Virtual Iron is a provider of enterprise-class server virtualization and virtual infrastructure management software. The company offers easy-to-use and cost-effective server virtualization software for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We have tasted Virtual Iron and can confirm that it is also delicious.
Virtual Iron is experiencing significant growth, with a 130% increase in revenues in the 3rd quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. That's impressive growth by any standard. We are big fans of growth which is why we encourage all of our Elastic Servers to grow up big and strong. If Virtual Iron is your deployment format of choice, come check out Elastic Server.
Get Started with Elastic Server
To deploy your custom-assembled virtual server to the Virtual Iron format, simply select the components you want and wrap them into your tidy stack. You can do this easily by visiting some of our most popular portals (e.g. Rails, Django, LAMP, etc.) or by adding one of our popular packages to your cart (MySQL 5, Apache 2 and PHP 5).
Once your stack is configured just the way you want it, select the "Virtual Iron" radio button from the "Ready to Build" screen pictured below. Give your server a descriptive name, choose whether to share your server and use a static password, and click the "Build Now" button. Voila. In a few short minutes, you'll receive an email with a link to your shiny new server. It's that easy.Chris Barclay, director of product management at Virtual Iron, says "CohesiveFT has created a compelling platform that reduces the complexity of creating production-ready virtual servers comprised of multi-sourced components. Now, with the addition of Virtual Iron within Elastic Server, our customers can easily take advantage of existing Elastic Servers or create their own custom servers. CohesiveFT's create once, run anywhere platform simplifies deployments and gives customers choice of virtualization vendor. This is yet another way that Virtual Iron customers can do more with less."
