Hosting365 Founder's Investment Company Invests €1million Cash in Brothers Dediserve Hosting Business
Fresh off the sale of his company Hosting365 to US SunGard (more), Stephen McCarron's company Carav Holdings has injected €1 million cash into his brothers's company Dediserve, it has been announced. One year into its operation, Irish virtual hosting provider Dediserve is planning an aggressive expansion plan for 2010 to include local and European acquisitions, and opening sites in additional data centres in the USA, UK and Dublin in the second quarter of this year.
The funding will be used to finance these plans as well as to market the company’s virtual server products and further develop its software platform.
The company’s planned expansion comes as Virtual Private Servers (VPS) increase in popularity as a hosting solution due to their relative low cost and high resilience. Virtualisation enables server and data storage needs to be safely and securely pooled amongst a number of customers, removing the need for an expensive dedicated hosting service.
Many businesses using their own servers, or a dedicated hosting service, are not likely to be using them to their fullest capacity. By outsourcing to a virtualised hosting provider, businesses need only pay for the capacity they need at a given time. This makes for substantial savings on hardware and running costs,
Recognising the potential for server virtualisation Aidan McCarron, founder and managing director of Dediserve, fostered the technology behind the company’s virtual server products to fast track and simplify the set up of servers, with a new server functional in under 10 minutes.
Commenting on the company’s expansion plans Aidan McCarron, founder and managing director of Dediserve said: “We hope to enable customers to chose their virtual servers’ location this year as more sites are opened. The ability to offer hosting with IP ranges that traverse national boundaries will be of great benefit to international customers with critical hosting needs.”
“Virtualisation has massive potential as an alternative to dedicated hosting and offers the specifications to compete on performance, while vastly saving on costs. With our service we’ve opened up the possibilities for those still using older dedicated hosting to easily enjoy all that virtualisation has to offer,” said McCarron
Gartner Inc. estimates that 55% of all new workloads will be deployed on virtual servers this year, up from 40% in 2009. In May 2009 IDC reported that in Western Europe for the first time ever, the number of virtual machine shipments exceeded the number of physical servers shipped, topping 2 million units.
