READING, England, August 31, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- DediPower, a leading provider of managed and cloud hosting solutions, supports Extrinsica's rapid growth in demand for its Extrinsica Office Anywhere(R) software as a service (SaaS). With a rapidly growing international Cloud hosting reputation and facilities in UK, US and Hong Kong, DediPower is well placed to support Extrinsica's SaaS Cloud platform and business critical applications.

Simon Smith, Managing Director of Extrinsica explains, With more companies relying on remote and geographically dispersed workers, the need for Internet-based software has never been greater. Providing access to office systems anytime, anywhere and from any device, our Office Anywhere solution is a perfect example of Cloud services at their best. However, without reliable and 100% available infrastructure, even the most advanced Cloud services simply cannot hold up. DediPower provides us with the highest standard of hosting environment in which to build our cloud infrastructure and the necessary levels of support to keep it available 24/7.

He continues, A real advantage of our solution is that while users can easily access their office applications and files, the data never leaves the data centre, even when they're using it. All of the files they create are aggregated and stored centrally on our servers located at DediPower's secure, enterprise-class Data Centres. This effectively eliminates risk for our customers and ensures their data is secured in one location and not fragmented across large numbers of individual devices and locations.

With considerable experience working with the UK Government's largest and most technically complex secure departments, the Extrinsica team are only too well aware of the importance of security.

Smith states, The concept of multi-tenancy allows smaller companies to access sophisticated and expensive capabilities that they wouldn't be able afford to put in place themselves, making it commercially and operationally viable. Within the shared Cloud environment, however, service providers must maintain security. Extrinsica builds its infrastructure from the ground up and segregates each client's data with highly secure technology to maintain data integrity. DediPower gives us the flexibility to do this while they provide the grid-independent power supplies, robust and fast connections, USPs and physical security that keeps our system and our customers' data safe.

DediPower hosts Extrinsica's 40 Dell Servers which use VMware and Microsoft's Hyper-V virtualisation software to create a high availability cloud platform. Popular business productivity and collaboration software applications are delivered from the platform via the Internet using Citrix XenApp technology. While some service providers operate their own Data Centres, Extrinsica sees no reason to consider moving from DediPower.

Smith confirms, From our point of view DediPower delivers enterprise-class reliability and capacity - they are as good as their word and never let us down. We can trust them to maintain our system uptime so that we can focus on what we do best - delivering innovative SaaS solutions. Our international and larger enterprise business is now developing rapidly and we look forward to working with DediPower to accommodate their needs and achieve our long term strategic goals.

Craig Martin, CEO of DediPower states, Our hosting facilities are ideal for service providers like Extrinsica for whom availability is crucial. Their reputation can be made or lost on the reliability of their software platforms. We are passionate about making sure that their Cloud environment is safe and secure to optimise their system performance and deliver outstanding return on their investment.
