5nine Software, the leading global Hyper-V virtualization security and management
provider, and Hostway Services, Inc., an innovative leader in Web &
App Hosting, Cloud, Managed, and Hybrid Hosting services, have joined
forces to ensure tenants are now able to easily manage their own Windows
and Linux security policies through the Azure Pack self-service portal.
5nine Cloud Security, the only Security as a Service (SECaaS) solution
for Windows Azure Pack, now allows Hostway to secure multi-tenant
environments and virtual machines (VMs), while giving users the ability
to easily configure firewalls, intrusion detection, and more.
"5nine
Software is happy to contribute to the success of Hostway Services by
enabling them to expand their cloud portfolio and reach new customers by
meeting more compliance and regulation requirements," said Symon
Perriman, VP of Business Development at 5nine Software. "By providing
Security as a Service to their users, Hostway has demonstrated its
commitment to innovation by taking advantage of the latest cloud
infrastructure security technologies."
By introducing 5nine Cloud
Security into their environment, Hostway also gets the industry's
leading integrated antivirus, firewall, intrusion detection and network
traffic control to protect their own Hyper-V infrastructure. Not only
will Hostway have greater security for its own datacenter and for its
users, but Hostway will also generate new revenue channels by offering
Security as a Service (SECaaS) while differentiating itself from other
cloud hosting providers.
"Through our experience helping
organizations of all sizes move to the cloud, we understand the
importance of delivering a highly secure solution," said Tony Savoy,
Hostway's General Manager and Vice President, Managed and Cloud
Services. "Our partnership with 5nine allows us to enhance the security
and data protection capabilities associated with our Microsoft Windows
Azure-based Private Cloud, while also reinforcing our position as the
leading Microsoft Cloud hosting specialist."
