PowerDNN Launches PowerGrid 2.0 Private Cloud Infrastructure for Enterprise DotNetNuke Implementations

Omaha, Nebraska (PRWEB) August 25, 2009

Today, PowerDNN announced the completion of a major update to their enterprise hosting platform for DotNetNuke®. The new cloud computing infrastructure, named “PowerGrid™ 2.0″, expands on the capabilities of PowerGrid 1.0 and allows enterprise customers to certifiably deploy large-scale DotNetNuke web applications across up to 60 web servers in a private cloud configuration.

“The technologies behind our PowerGrid cloud computing infrastructure and our PowerCache™ distributed caching provider have been a direct result of demands from our largest customers” explained John Grange, Executive Vice President & COO of PowerDNN. “Previously, PowerGrid and PowerCache were only available to our largest customers who needed incredible security, scalability and flexibility.”

PowerGrid 2.0 will allow PowerDNN’s enterprise customers to grow unimpeded while maintaining competitive economies of scale and security of operations. “With PowerGrid 2.0, we can scale our customers’ websites and applications by simply adding additional servers to their private cloud” said Tony Valenti, Chief Technology Officer of PowerDNN. “Our engineering team has been working tirelessly to make PowerGrid a seamless scaling experience. We can transparently add and remove physical and virtual servers to our customers’ PowerGrid 2.0 private clouds to quickly and seamlessly scale up or down as needed. Once a server securely authenticates into a customer’s PowerGrid 2.0 private cloud, it will automatically synchronize itself with the cloud and begin taking part in cloud computing operations. PowerGrid 2.0 and PowerCache handle all of the complexities behind the scene.”

Organizations are slowly embracing cloud offerings but data integrity and security still remains an obstacle. PowerDNN’s PowerGrid 2.0 private cloud configuration features the benefits of an elastic cloud infrastructure with the privacy and security of a private network.

PowerDNN is offering PowerGrid private clouds as both hosted and on-site solutions for large corporations and government entities at all levels.
