U.K.'s ElasticHosts opens cloud data centre in Toronto
A hosting company based out of the U.K. is hoping that a
data centre located in Toronto will convince Canadian businesses
fearful of the U.S. Patriot Act to take a cloud computing approach
to managing their IT infrastructure.
ElasticHosts this week announced an expansion of its footprint
in the North American market that also included a facility in Los
Angeles. The company already offered hosting services out of San
Antonio, Tex. in addition to its main office in London.
Like many others, ElasticHosts offers servers which companies
can use to increase or decrease the computing capacity they need on
demand. The company has traditionally found traction in the U.K.'s
small and medium-sized enterprise market, and will be offering a
five-day free trial. Compute capacity is billed by the hour,
starting at six cents per hour, or $44 per month.
Richard Davies, the company's president and founder, said the
company hopes to set itself apart in the market by offering
services that are more flexible and easy to use than what is
normally targeted at customers.
