Premier cloud provider can now offer
differentiated, enterprise-level services with flexible pricing in
customizable, virtualized environments
F5 Networks (NASDAQ:FFIV) today announced that Denver-based
HOSTING, the leading managed cloud provider for mid-sized
enterprises, has adopted the F5® LineRate® application proxy
software for its new virtualized cloud services offerings. Using
LineRate, HOSTING can now offer customized enterprise-class cloud
traffic management services, differentiated by higher service level
agreements, the ability to scale elastically, and more customer
control over IT budgets via LineRate’s convenient pay-as-you-use
model.
“LineRate allows us to set our business apart by offering
superior customer service,” said Darrell Hyde, HOSTING’s Chief
Technology Officer. “With LineRate, we can give customers a
dedicated environment where they are empowered with full control.
They can easily manage traffic with the added benefit of deeper
insights into their IT spend.”
Before initiating the project with LineRate, HOSTING found some
customers stuck between multi-tenant solutions that lacked control
and flexibility, and single-tenant models requiring significant
investments in infrastructure and management. By basing its
offerings on LineRate, HOSTING is able to deliver a highly
customized, single-tenant cloud solution in a virtualized
environment, with a subscription pricing model that helps mid-sized
companies better manage their IT budget.
Working directly with LineRate, HOSTING leveraged the native
REST API to build out the rich feature set its customers require,
delivered as part of LineRate’s secure, fault-tolerant, and
reliable software architecture. LineRate’s technology seamlessly
integrates with the HOSTING Customer Portal™ and dashboard. Within
the portal, customers can monitor traffic, add and remove servers,
as well as reroute users intelligently to perform maintenance and
upgrades—all with zero downtime.
Eric Pfleckl, Vice President of Technical Services at Natural
Insight, a HOSTING customer providing outsourced workforce
management services, said, “We needed visibility into our
throughput and load balancing environments. The HOSTING solution
allows us to see the applications, create test and stage
environments, and reduce downtime. We also no longer worry about
the specific infrastructure and investments involved. Our new
LineRate-based solution will give us the performance and headroom
we need as our business grows.”

LineRate is available as part of HOSTING’s enterprise public
cloud offerings (www.hosting.com). If you'd like to run LineRate in
your own infrastructure, you can also try LineRate for free and
