Doyenz Beefs Up Security for Shadowcloud
Leveraging Internap Network Service’s data center and IP network will provide 100 percent uptime for the Shadowcloud IT services platform.
Doyenz’ Shadowcloud IT services platform for SMB business continuity just got more secure. The company is leveraging Internap Network Services Corporation’s data center and IP network capabilities to ensure the integrity of its Shadowcloud offering. 
Internap’s colocation and performance IP network solution will provide a more scalable, secure environment with a 100 percent uptime service level agreement (SLA) for Shadowcloud. That will enable more reliable and higher-performance access to cloud-based virtualized production environments for end users as well as uninterrupted revenue streams for Doyenz’ IT reseller partners.
Doyenz’ Shadowcloud† IT services platform delivers business continuity to SMBs by virtualizing their Windows production environments in the cloud. With Shadowcloud, IT organizations can perform functions such as setting up a virtual lab to complete testing of patches and upgrades, conducting complex server migrations, and performing failover and recovery without affecting the actual IT production environment.
“As a cloud-based IT platform provider, our entire business relies directly on our data center – its reliability, scalability, security and network performance,” says Frank Fulton, vice president of delivery at Doyenz. “In essence, our channel partners and their customers are buying the ‘availability’ of our Shadowcloud environment, so our number one objective is to ensure optimized access at all times. Internap provides this with its SLA-backed availability and performance… giving us confidence in our service delivery and allowing us to focus on other core business activities like further developing the platform itself.”
As part of a plan to move its Shadowcloud infrastructure from an existing facility, Doyenz considered numerous data center providers and selected Internap, primarily for the company’s ability to offer a 100 percent uptime SLA and the fact that it conforms to SAS 70 Type II practices.
