Cloud Computing Can Be Messy.

Let Blue Box Group’s Rain Coat Keep You Warm and Dry.

Blue Box Group’s new API combines the flexibility of cloud computing with the power of traditional hosting.

TACOMA, WASHINGTON – May 5th, 2009 – Everywhere you look in today’s technology news, you’re bound to see the term “cloud computing”. The hype cycle is in full effect with this emerging technology, and aggressive server virtualization practices becoming well known. However, the benefits of cloud computing aren’t always obvious, the challenges are often masked, and the associated support is expensive if it exists at all.

At Blue Box Group, we don’t see why this has to be the case. We’re proud to introduce a powerful API solution to the stormy execution of cloud computing. Aligning with our mantra that hosting should be simple regardless of how its rendered this “rain coat” utilizes a powerful API to deploy new on demand computing “blocks” on top of our own hardware. Coupling this powerful API to deploy new on demand computing “blocks” with Blue Box Group’s top of the line hardware and the capability to manage DNS, email accounts and more, this new platform brings together the power of dedicated hosting with the flexibility of virtualization. This unique approach provides significant benefits over the “traditional” cloud computing model by providing access to dedicated resources including RAID 10 SAS disk arrays and large processing power.

Additionally, all our hosting packages provide access to Blue Box Group’s proven support. As a customer, you have access to a seasoned team of technology experts who have handled large Rails deployments for Fortune 500 media and television companies, as well as Mom-and-Pop operations. Furthermore, there are no minimum monthly fees for access to this support: It comes bundled with every one of our packages. All of this is backed by Blue Box Group’s “Up and Running” support that provides as much assistance as you need to get your site migrated and in production on our platform.

This exciting new tool is now in private beta exclusively at Blue Box Group. Please visit our website on Monday, May 11th to sign up and gain access to our API and see just how good this rain coat can feel. We expect a public release in Q3 2009.

Blue Box Group is proud to be a full service Rails hosting provider with in-house hosting customization; and Rain Coat is the next great addition to our already large product lineup. From our Content Delivery Network services, to our dedicated clusters, bundled email / DNS and domain registration services, you’re business will stay warm dry and profitable with us. Come experience how hosting should be.
