MILAN, ITALY and SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwire) — 11/25/11 — Libero, Italy-s most popular portal and Internet service provider, is using Joyent-s SmartDataCenter cloud computing software and services to launch the country-s largest on-demand public cloud offering. Libero-s public cloud will give businesses and developers access to a full line of unparalleled cloud-based solutions, running applications faster than any other cloud on the most advanced, efficient and secure platform on the market.
Businesses and developers get quick and easy access to real time infrastructure resources with a pay as you go pricing model. Customers order resources online based upon their needs, and within minutes the resources are allocated and ready to use.
“Libero wishes to serve clients with any type of cloud computing need,” said Antonio Converti, CEO of Libero. “Our service also excels at providing highly scalable, performant and efficient computing resources on a temporary basis, such as for massive data analysis, research and development projects, or peek data processing times at month-s end.”
Libero-s public cloud based on SmartDataCenter offers Italian businesses and developers the following benefits:
Businesses and developers can allow Libero to run their infrastructure while they focus their human and capital resources on their main line of business.
. Benchmarks show that SmartDataCenter enables more efficient use of compute, I/O and network resources; businesses benefit from these efficiencies by paying less for their Libero infrastructure than for other competitive providers.
Businesses and developers will find that their infrastructure stays up 100% of the time. And, because it provides local, resilient storage, they don-t have to worry about losing their data in the cloud.
. Using Joyent Cloud Analytics, businesses will save money by identifying and fixing problems in their infrastructure before they spend money in engineering and support costs.
“Our relationship combines the strength of Libero-s IT and online service capabilities with Joyent-s proven high value cloud computing infrastructure,” says Philippe Weppe, President of EMEA for Joyent. “Customers will benefit greatly from the efficiency, flexibility and quality of the Libero cloud.”
In the cloud, efficient, scalable infrastructure can make the difference between profit and loss. That-s why Libero elected to deploy the latest enterprise grade PowerEdge R710 servers to maximize performance and efficiencies.
“Our history in powering most of the world-s leading public clouds gives Dell deep expertise in hyperscale infrastructure requirements,” stated Steve Cumings, Executive Director of Marketing, Dell DCS. “Once again the combined strength of Dell infrastructure and Joyent software solutions delivers a world-class customer solution, supporting Libero-s delivery of Italy-s largest on-demand public cloud.”
