Cloud hosting solutions including email hosting and VPS hosting require the agility and efficiency typically found in a cloud infrastructure environment such as VMware manager environment.

Recently, 4t Networks, a managed virtual hosting company based out of Atlanta, upgraded its VMware solution to vCloud Director 1.5. 4t Networks is one of the first companies to implement new technologies from established cloud machine leaders like VMware.

The vCloud Director 1.5 includes features such as improved cloud agility, faster provisioning using linked clones, third-party distributed switch support, and vAPP custom guest properties. It provides simplified management as well including easy configuration of VPN and Firewall settings.

The solution also provides network flexibility to isolate virtual machines from both the outside and from each other to discourage any contamination. It also deploys a secure hybrid cloud infrastructure through vShield technology integration.

"We are very pleased with the improvements made in VMware's vCloud Directore 1.5," said Kevin Gray, president of 4t Networks, in a statement. "They have improved an already excellent product to be even more in line with their users' virtual datacenter management needs," Gray added.

4t Networks’ services are marked by superior customer service, a top tier data center and dedicated server virtual space. The company offers customizable data and usage plans, so customers can get the dedicated server space for their businesses.

In a related development, Metalogix Software, a trusted provider of content lifecycle management solutions for Microsoft (News - Alert) SharePoint, Exchange and Cloud platforms, recently launched the Metalogix Content Manager for SharePoint with powerful capabilities to manage, classify and maximize SharePoint content.

By leveraging Content Manager for SharePoint, the company delivers the foundation of a content management suite that employs a ribbon-based, intuitive solution for administrators and end users alike.
