Next generation cloud hosting company StratoGen has today launched a self-service system for hosting VMware virtual machines in the cloud.

In an industry first for StratoGen, it has become the first cloud provider to launch a self-service, hosted VMware solution based on VMware vCloud Director. Organizations can sign up online to instantly create a bespoke virtual datacenter, into which they can deploy VMware virtual machines, vApps, networks and firewalls.

The next generation solution is based on technology from VMware including vSphere 4.1 and vCloud Director.

David Elliott, Technical Director said “Giving our clients the ability to create a hosted VMware environment to their specification in seconds is a great achievement for our team. Whether you are looking to build a complex private cloud or simply host a VMware virtual appliance, this self-service system greatly simplifies your task.”

StratoGen takes an innovative approach to cloud hosting by offering its services in the form of virtual datacenters. Virtual datacenters offer much greater flexibility to the end user, allowing them to easily build out environments that are suited to load balancing, disaster recovery or mirroring their in-house platforms.

Karl Robinson, Managing Director commented “StratoGen continue to innovate at the leading edge of cloud hosting to bring new and important benefits to our clients. This service now completes an end-to-end solution that allows an organization to instantly signup, build and configure their perfect VMware environment in the cloud. It’s a significant achievement that we are all very proud of.”
