Doyenz’s Service Platform Sees v.3 Upgrade
Aimed at SMBs, ShadowCloud—the cloud-based service platform—supports both physical and virtual IT platforms.
Doyenz Inc., providers of virtualization and cloud-based managed service platforms, has debuted version 3.0 of its managed service platform, the Doyenz ShadowCloud.
By replicating a copy of their client’s production infrastructure in the cloud, the Doyenz ShadowCloud enables IT service providers to leverage virtualization and automation to their SMB clients at reduced costs.
With this latest version, the Doyenz platform supports both physical and virtual IT environments, including support for VMWare vSphere.
Doyenz products provide Active Disaster Recovery, Failover in the Cloud and Migrations in the Cloud for the SMB market. These tools provide production-ready images that can be run on-demand in the cloud in case of a failure. IT service providers can also use the latest copy of the production image at any time to test, patch, upgrade, or migrate systems in the Doyenz Production-Ready Virtual Lab.
“Doyenz brings an interesting approach to aggregating enterprise-level capabilities and delivering them as†an infrastructure-as-a-service offering targeting SMBs,” says Dan Kusnetzky, vice president, research operations, with The 451 Group. “Their business model, combined with a hybrid cloud technology platform, enables the SMB to manage their IT in the cloud while still being in control of their own critical onsite operations. This approach is likely to be seen as safe, manageable and affordable enough for organizations seeking to use cloud computing as a way to lower costs.”
Dave Sobel, CEO of Evolve Technologies, runs one of those SMBs. He says the ShadowCloud platform has enabled his company to do business “better, faster and cheaper, and frankly, just smarter.”
Sobel explains, “We’ve been able to cut our server deployment time and costs in half with zero customer downtime, with a platform that enables us to stage a production environment in the cloud, then click and deploy once the servers are tested and ready.”†
