Cloud Computing is getting a lot of attention these days as the new wave of technology, offering benefits of redundancy, flexibility in resource allocation, and economy due to sharing of high-performance resources. But is it too new and untried to be trustworthy?

At ORCS Web, we don’t think Cloud is new at all; in fact, we have offered hosting plans for several years that offer the benefits of Cloud Hosting.

Our Shared Webfarm hosting provides multiple servers, configured identically, so that either one may be accessed by a given application depending on which one is most available. Even if a server is down for maintenance, applications continue to function normally. Another Cloud-like feature is the ability to add resources to the webfarm transparently as demand grows. This scalability gives great flexibility in configuring the webfarm to meet exact needs over time.

For applications that need full operating system isolation, our Advanced Infrastructure (AI) might put your head in the Clouds. The large, powerful environment – including high-performance Storage Area Network storage, is constantly monitored and resources are adjusted as needed to ensure optimum performance for each application. With multiple CPUs, mirrored RAID storage, and dynamic allocation based on load and availability, AI is perfect for mission-critical apps with fluctuating needs.

Both plans offer greater flexibility at lower cost than a dedicated server environment – but can always be upgraded to Dedicated if growth or special requirements make that the best choice.

In the Clouds and Down to Earth at the Same Time
