(The Hosting News) — Isilon® Systems today announced that SoftLayer has deployed Isilon scale-out NAS to power its enterprise cloud infrastructure. With Isilon IQ’s OneFS® operating system, SoftLayer has unified all of its file-based cloud operations onto a single, high performance, highly scalable, shared pool of storage, streamlining data management and increasing efficiency across three different, geographically disparate data center facilities. With Isilon scale-out NAS, SoftLayer can scale its storage resources in lockstep with customer demand, reducing capital expenditures while delivering more robust, flexible and responsive services to its worldwide customer base.

“Our cloud services address customers’ need for enterprise-class data center resources, meaning our network, servers and storage must always be available on-demand,” said Jacob Linscott, director of IT systems, SoftLayer. “Isilon IQ fits the bill perfectly—an easy-to-use single file system that allows us to buy what we need, when we need it, and then scale capacity and performance in-line with business growth. With Isilon, we’ve improved service functionality and flexibility without having to add any headcount.”

SoftLayer’s global, on-demand data center and hosting services deliver fully automated solutions from facilities across the United States, providing enterprises with complete access, control, security and scalability. Prior to deploying Isilon IQ, SoftLayer’s traditional SAN system was incapable of cost-effectively scaling to meet the high I/O and data growth requirements of its rapidly expanding customer base, preventing SoftLayer from fully capitalizing on market demand. By deploying Isilon scale-out NAS, SoftLayer’s cloud infrastructure can now service a broad spectrum of enterprise applications—including server and desktop virtualization, highly transactional workloads and disaster recovery—improving its ability to address mainstream data center requirements. With Isilon IQ, SoftLayer has unified all of its file-based cloud operations onto a single, easy-to-use, “pay as you grow” file system, decreasing both capital and operational expenditures, while accelerating business growth.

“As businesses enlist cloud service providers to reduce costs and increase efficiency, the providers’ most immediate challenge is how best to manage the rapid data growth and high performance requirements of their expanding customer base,” said Sam Grocott, vice president of marketing, Isilon Systems. “SoftLayer is setting the example for enterprise cloud services by using Isilon scale-out NAS to broaden its service offering, minimize costs and maximize its market opportunity.”

Mountain View, California – (The Hosting News) – August 18, 2009 – SoftLayer Technologies, Inc., provider of global, on-demand data center and hosting services, and VeriSign, Inc., provider of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world, have formed a partnership to bring the entire line of VeriSign Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates to SoftLayer customers.

Tim Callan, vice president of product marketing at VeriSign noted, ”Businesses of every size need a fully automated SSL solution that delivers complete access, control, security and scalability. This partnership with SoftLayer enables thousands of businesses to manage a range of SSL protections within the management console they use every day. We’re proud to partner with SoftLayer, and we look forward to delivering world-class security solutions to SoftLayer customers for years to come.”

In expanding its security offerings, SoftLayer will also carry Extended Validation (EV) SSL solutions and SSL Certificates from GeoTrust, another VeriSign brand. The alliance enables SoftLayer to deliver VeriSign and GeoTrust SSL protection to customers of all sizes. To simplify SSL deployment and management for its customers, SoftLayer will integrate SSL security into its innovative management console.

VeriSign EV SSL Certificates offer a proven safeguard against phishing scams that lure unsuspecting consumers to sites that can appear almost identical to genuine Web pages. Identity thieves use these fraudulent pages to capture credit card numbers, passwords and other valuable personal information. When visiting sites protected by VeriSign EV SSL, Internet users using high security browsers see a green address bar. The green bar tells consumers they have reached a web site whose authenticity has been certified by VeriSign. An EV SSL Certificate triggers visual cues beyond the green address bar, including a new field that contains the name of the organization that owns the site and in some cases the name of the security provider that issued the certificate.

George Karidis, chief strategy officer at SoftLayer remarked, ”Everything SoftLayer does, from hosting to data storage to security, centers on connecting our customers with the best, most reliable technology, and that’s what VeriSign brings to our security portfolio. SSL security is critical to managed hosting and enterprise application hosting. With this range of SSL options – from VeriSign SSL and GeoTrust SSL up to state-of-the-art VeriSign EV SSL protection – our customers can protect themselves and everyone who visits their web sites or uses their hosted applications. And with VeriSign, that protection comes from the most trusted SSL authority on the web.”

As the most respected and trusted SSL authority on the web, VeriSign is the EV SSL Certificate provider of choice for more than 12,000 Internet domain names, representing 74 percent of the entire EV SSL Certificate market worldwide. In fact, over 95 percent of the Fortune 500 and 96 of the world’s 100 largest SSL-using banks secure their sites with SSL Certificates from VeriSign.

Headquartered in Plano, Texas, SoftLayer delivers world-class, on-demand virtual data center services on a global basis from facilities located in Dallas, Texas; Seattle, Wash.; and Washington, DC. SoftLayer integrates all facets of IT to innovate industry-leading solutions that are fully automated. This empowers customers with complete control, security, scalability, and ease-of-management for their IT environment.

VeriSign, Inc. is the trusted provider of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world. Billions of times each day, VeriSign helps companies and consumers all over the world engage in communications and commerce with confidence.
