$5 million and three years of testing and development result in affordable, bullet-proof cloud computing and virtualization services for Indiana companies of all sizes

(Indianapolis, IN, January 11, 2010) — n|Frame, one of Indianapolis’ top technology infrastructure and data center firms, today announced the introduction of cloud computing and virtualization services following a $5 million dollar investment and three years of rigorous testing and development. By offering affordable and scalable cloud computing and virtualization services, n|Frame can now serve companies of all sizes, including the small business market.

According to n|Frame’s Indianapolis-based Chief Operating Officer Robert (Bob) J. Alcorn, these services will revolutionize the way companies approach technology.

“With our cloud computing model, we eliminate capital investments in technology equipment by putting our clients’ networks on a secure, off-site, shared computing platform. This approach frees up our clients’ working capital for revenue-generating activities such as research and development, sales and marketing, or expansion initiatives, rather than IT equipment that will quickly become obsolete,” he said. “Most importantly, we offer the most affordable, expandable and bullet-proof virtualization options on the market today. Our clients only pay for the computing capacity they need and use today, but they have the ability to quickly and efficiently increase capacity as their businesses grows.”

Cloud computing (also known as virtualization or hosted computing) is an ideal alternative to traditional technology infrastructure models. Rather than purchase and manage expensive IT hardware, n|Frame’s clients host their networks on n|Frame’s virtual environment and allow n|Frame’s certified engineers to monitor and manage their systems 24/7. In addition to freeing up operating capital, n|Frame’s cloud computing and virtualization services also provide clients of all sizes with enterprise-level network security, performance, management and availability at an affordable price point.

n|Frame’s cloud computing and virtualization solutions are designed for new or expanding companies that need to conserve capital for growth initiatives. These new services are also well suited for large corporations that require dynamic network environments that can accommodate significant fluctuations in system usage. Many companies also utilize cloud computing and virtualization as a disaster recovery strategy because it lessens the risk of a single-point-of-failure on the network.

During the course of the last three years, n|Frame enlisted current clients as Beta customers to test these developing systems and methodologies. “This enabled us to hone our processes, train our staff and develop high-capacity/high-availability server rooms,” said Alcorn. “By investing in this intensive Beta testing program, we eliminated common problems associated with newly launched services.”
