There are two primary schools of thought regarding the success of cloud hosting giant Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Datapipe Demonstrates Leadership in Cloud Hosting for Second Consecutive Month
Selecting a reliable hosting company can be a challenge for one with little experience in the field.

The Best Data Center Management Tools for Optimum Overall Efficiency
Remember your favorite TV show as a kid? Depending on when you experienced childhood, this could range from Cheers to Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Compared to today's advanced times, however, the content of these programs appear just as fuzzy as our heads feel trying to absorb the crazy outfits their characters donned. Similarly, data centers of the past boast features and functionalities that were once at their peak, yet today, fizzle; likewise, solutions of the past have become increasingly sophisticated. While there's a certain fondness still held for these old-school methods, it's essential to think in the present, where everything from TV shows to data centers are bigger and better than ever.

New Management Challenges Mean Data Centers Are No Longer Kickin' it Old school
Say goodbye as we sail towards the bright and promising horizon of where 2013 meets the evolved data center.

Making the Most out of Cloud Hosting: Don't Settle For Less
In today's economy one thing has remained certain, if not, has grown stronger over the last few years: We want to make the most out of what we have now.

This resourcefulness can easily translate to making the most of cloud computing.
Security, Control, Performance, Oh My! Top Cloud Computing Myths Busted

It's Your Cloud, Shouldn't it Meet All of Your Critical Business Needs?
Think about it - it's your cloud, it should meet all of your unique business needs and overcome any potential challenges in the process.

Enjoy Ultimate Flexibility, Immediate Global Accessibility, Guaranteed Security with Datapipe Stratosphere Cloud Portal
When it comes to cloud hosting, one of the main problems found is lack of flexibility - especially when concerning geographic dispersal. Organizations worldwide are more than capable of deploying a robust cloud system, yet their cloud-inclined capabilities remain stunted due to problems associated with geographic flexibility within the cloud. Even if you find a way to conquer this challenge, you still face the problem of customization. Combining the two should be like peanut butter and chocolate; smooth, tasteful and desirable, but instead, it's seems like there's a piece of tin-foil stuck somewhere in between.
