ViaWest, a privately-held data center, cloud computing and managed services provider in North America, recently announced that SympIT has selected its KINECTed Cloud solution, a Xen-based hypervisor cloud, to provide flexible cloud computing services.

KINECTed Cloud provides a dynamic pool of computing, storage, and networking resources without capital expense or ongoing personnel costs. Through resource pooling, KINECTed Cloud offers an elastic yet measured service ideal for public facing content, disaster recovery, staging, test and development resources.

Powered by a Xen-based hypervisor, the solution offers a flexible environment that supports the usage demands at the heart of innovative development.

"ViaWest was the clear winner when deciding on a long-term partner to entrust our growing business," stated Seth Patterson, cofounder and Partner at SympIT. "Our choice was not only due to ViaWest's advanced data centers and breadth of services, but also to the company's experienced technical teams."

KINECTed Cloud VMware-based vCloud Powered platform option offers a globally consistent API and hybrid cloud technologies that allow for easy adoption of cloud computing, without sacrificing control.

The businesses have the ability to mix and match the benefits of a cloud environment, dynamic provisioning for multiple environments using shared resources, and traditional infrastructure, into a single cost-effective solution that meets development, testing and production needs.

"By migrating to ViaWest's cloud computing platform, our website performance increased by over 50 percent, with our webpages loading much more quickly than before," continued Patterson. "With KINECTed Cloud, we are well-positioned to scale on-demand to meet future performance expectations."

"ViaWest offers a consultative approach to client solutions," said Margie Sims, regional vice president of Sales for ViaWest. "Each client's business challenges and requirements are carefully considered. With innovative companies such as SympIT, our personalized approach ensures we design a solution that optimizes the end user's overall experience. We look forward to a long-standing relationship with SympIT and are honored to be selected by a local technology leader."
