INTERXION HOLDING NV (NYSE: INXN), a leading European provider
of carrier-neutral colocation data center services, announced today
at Cloud Expo East that it is launching a new Cloud Test Lab based
on Eucalyptus. Eucalyptus Systems provides the most widely
deployed, on-premise cloud computing platform for web 2.0
businesses, enterprises, and government organizations. This Test
Lab is developed for enterprises and systems integrators looking to
deploy private and hybrid cloud environments, a topic that
Eucalyptus CEO Marten Mickos and Interxion Director Cloud Segment
Vincent in‘t Veld will discuss during the Cloud Expo East session
“The World According to Cloud” on Tuesday, June 12 at 1:35 p.m.
The Eucalyptus-based Cloud Test Lab is located at Interxion’s
Frankfurt Data Center Campus and provides a free, turnkey,
proof-of-concept environment combining industry-leading software,
connectivity, systems and colocation capabilities. Test Lab users
will be able to create Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
environments to rapidly build, develop and trial cloud services
with best-in-class performance guarantees.
Eucalyptus maintains high-fidelity performance with the Amazon
Web Services (AWS) API, enabling Cloud Test Lab customers to build
and test a hybrid cloud deployment, and move workloads between the
Test Lab and the AWS cloud. This model is particularly well-suited
for companies in the digital media and gaming sectors that start a
service in a public cloud environment, and later look to move
stable workloads into their private cloud to improve performance
and lower costs.
“Enterprises across Europe are looking to the cloud to
accelerate their high priority business initiatives,” said Paul
Holt, Vice President of EMEA Sales at Eucalyptus. “Through its work
with Eucalyptus, Interxion is providing customers with an open,
scalable and secure Test Lab for AWS-compatible clouds. Customers
can easily test how applications and services perform in the cloud,
and more rapidly deliver high-quality applications to the
market.”
“Interxion’s Cloud Test Labs are targeted at companies that want
to trial a private cloud before migrating it to a fully-functioning
production environment,” said Jelle Frank van der Zwet, Interxion’s
Cloud Marketing Manager. “Our partnership with Eucalyptus for this
Cloud Test Lab takes that one step further, giving systems
integrators and enterprises the option to not only test the service
in a private cloud environment, but also scale into a public
cloud.”
Connectivity for the Test Lab is provided by Atrato IP Networks,
a leading provider of high quality IP transit, carrier services,
remote peering and managed services. The 10 Gigabit Test Lab is
built on top of Arista Networks switching platform, providing the
highest performance, low-latency cloud platform. “As the leader in
building scalable, high performance and ultra-low latency cloud
networks, Arista is delighted to be involved in this Cloud Test Lab
with Interxion and Eucalyptus” Doug Gourlay, VP of Marketing at
Arista Networks said.
Interxion’s Frankfurt Data Center Campus – known as one of the
largest internet hubs globally – gives access to more than 400
carriers and ISPs and houses the core infrastructure of the DE-CIX,
the world's largest internet exchange in terms of peak traffic.
With the opening of FRA7 Interxion recently added more than 1,500
sqm of new equipped data centre space to its Frankfurt campus. The
new facility meets the growing demands of customers who will
benefit from Interxion's "Connectivity Hub" making Interxion
Frankfurt the logical choice for connectivity-intensive companies,
particularly in the digital media, financial services, and cloud
service segments.
As of July 1, companies can sign up online at the Interxion
website and apply for a free trial period for the new Cloud Test
Lab.
The Cloud Computing Expo is a leading conference on cloud
computing and covers a range of topics including infrastructure,
