Amazon EC2 competitor-xcalibre's flexiscale

Outsourcing is like this. You never know what you may do tomorrow, or you often find that today's projects are completely different from previous projects. In general, everything depends on business needs. This time, the Web Hosting Service is also in play ). This is another Dongdong-virtual host provider xcalibre communications (xcalibre. co. UK) flexiscale, mainly because Amazon EC2 does not provide UK-based host services, while flexiscale does.

Tony Lucas, CEO of xcalibre Communications, said flexiscale is the only real European On-Demand virtual host solution and the only one in the world that supports windows, it also supports many functions that make it easier to host, such as static IP addresses, permanent storage, and comprehensive load balancing.

While Amazon EC2 and S3 have similar services (S3 also launched services for Europe), they only provide support for Linux. Flexiscale provides comprehensive support for Windows, as well as multi-layer monitoring, load monitoring, automated elastic resource management, and the ability to import any virtual service image.

Another important difference is that flexiscale and Amazon EC2 and S3 are characterized by service level protocols. Flexiscale guarantees 99 to its users. 95% runtime commitment.

The only comparable European service comes from Belgian-based Q-layer (q-layer.com) companies, with the aim of flexiscale targeting the enterprise market rather than smaller startups looking for a larger scale. The company provides comprehensive on-demand and real-time virtual private data centers.

These are the reasons why flexiscale can occupy a certain virtual host market. However, it is estimated that Amazon will not blindly watch its own market gradually occupied, it is estimated that Amazon EC2 and S3 will soon be able to fully develop services in the European market, and Windows support will soon be achieved.
