(The Hosting News) – LogicMonitor, an award-winning data center monitoring solution, has announced a strategic partnership with Zumasys, a leading provider of customized Cloud Computing solutions for small and medium sized businesses across North America.
With no capital outlay required, LogicMonitor’s hosted solution provides unparalleled monitoring, pre-emptive alerting, trending and analytics, essential for maintaining high-levels of business services across multi-vendor and service infrastructures.
On the new partnership, LogicMonitor CEO Steve Francis noted, “We’ve had the opportunity to work with Zumasys as a customer first, as they’ve been using LogicMonitor to monitor their hosting platform which runs across two data centers. They run a first-class operation with a technical staff that’s as sharp as they come. We feel extremely fortunate to have landed them as a strategic partner in serving our rapidly expanding customer base.”
Zumasys president, Paul Giobbi, notes “Our goal is to make it easy for companies to move their custom applications to the Cloud and manage their entire infrastructure and LogicMonitor helps us provide an excellent user experience. As we migrate more customers to our powerful virtual hosting platform, it’s essential that we have a monitoring solution capable of keeping up with all the change inherent in both server and desktop virtualization. LogicMonitor’s automated monitoring has proven to be one of the few systems that can do this reliably.”
Another driving factor for the Zumasys/LogicMonitor partnership was the need for unification. Giobbi adds, “We offer our customers multi-vendor solutions from a number of technology leaders including NetApp, VMware, Citrix, Cisco, and SonicWall. Having to rely on a separate monitoring solution for each aspect of the IT infrastructure creates a management nightmare, as well as cost-inefficiencies. With LogicMonitor, we give our customers the ability to monitor a broad mix of data center infrastructure from a single, affordable web-based application. That saves them a lot of time and allows them to focus on their business instead of trying to manage disparate monitoring systems.”
LogicMonitor is offered on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) basis, which means no capital investment, no additional hardware and no maintenance. Network operations will have the ability to access dashboards, performance graphs and analytics, and receive critical alerts wherever they are via e-mail and SMS. LogicMonitor’s automated configuration and Active Discovery engine eliminate the manual configuration and ongoing maintenance required by other monitoring solutions. The system can be deployed in under an hour, giving operations staff virtually instant visibility into their entire IT estate from a single web-based portal.

(The Hosting News) – CyberlinkASP, the leader in outsourced IT and integrated managed hosting solutions, today announced that it will begin offering fully managed virtual desktops utilizing Citrix XenDesktop® technologies on the revolutionary SoftLayer infrastructure- as-a-service platform.
CyberlinkASP currently hosts and manages virtual desktops and back office applications for hundreds of small to medium sized businesses across the United States from its proprietary Dallas InfoMart datacenter using Citrix XenApp™. CyberlinkASP’s engineering staff, help desk and sophisticated technical support capabilities have fueled widespread acceptance of its virtual desktop product. By partnering with SoftLayer, CyberlinkASP is now able to reduce hardware provisioning and cutover times from weeks to literally a few hours. “We utilized this capability to deliver an infrastructure-as-a-service solution for the Citrix Synergy Hands-On Learning Lab and we are pleased to see companies like CyberlinkASP extend this offering,” said Nathan Day, CTO of SoftLayer.
In addition, CyberlinkASP’s proprietary facilities will also be linked via redundant 10 gigabit fiber to SoftLayer’s industry first network-within-a-network topology allowing its client’s wide ranging access to on-demand fully managed infrastructure-as-a-service alongside the virtual desktop offering.
“Desktop virtualization and Citrix XenDesktop is being adopted by enterprises worldwide in order to transform the traditional form of desktop computing” said Sumit Dhawan, vice president of product marketing, XenDesktop product group at Citrix. “Businesses such as CyberlinkASP along with their collaboration with SoftLayer bring the power of desktop virtualization to enterprises who may not have the expertise to build their own virtual desktop infrastructure.”
Citrix XenDesktop drastically improves desktop scalability and flexibility across the entire enterprise IT spectrum. Now, managed by CyberlinkASP, users have the ability to access any data, any application, anytime and anywhere with all files centrally stored, backed up and monitored from one of SoftLayer’s geographically diverse data centers.
“SoftLayer has clearly become the market leader in the dedicated hosting space and offers the best possible infrastructure solution for this extension of our virtual desktop offering,” added Chris M. Lantrip, Managing Partner, CyberlinkASP.
