Engine Yard, a provider of Ruby on Rails automation and management technologies delivering both private and public cloud offerings, reportedly has selected Terremark’s Enterprise Cloud for customers who require a private cloud service.

 

Terremark officials said that the company’s Enterprise Cloud was the ideal Infrastructure-as-a-Service for Engine Yard private cloud-based on its proven track record of providing enterprise and Federal government customers industry-leading reliability, scalability and security.

 

Company officials said that as Engine Yard continues to build its private cloud customer base, the Enterprise Cloud supports the Engine Yard mission to deliver the most reliable and secure Ruby on Rails platform available.

 

“Developers can take full advantage of Rails when they’re not losing cycles to the complexities of application deployment and maintenance,” said John Dillon, CEO, Engine Yard, in a statement. “Over the last year, we’ve seen rapid adoption of our public cloud offering, and we anticipate this partnership with Terremark will drive equal adoption in our private cloud offering.”

 

Dillon said that Engine Yard cloud offerings help developers stop worrying about scalability, security and uptime so they can focus on the art of building great applications.

 

Company officials said that the Terremark Enterprise Cloud allows customers the ability to provision, configure, deploy and manage computing resources for mission-critical applications in minutes, giving control over a flexible pool of computing resources with a web-based console for deploying server capacity on demand.

 

“This exciting new partnership with Engine Yard will be greatly beneficial to the many Rails application developers and web development firms that are looking for a reliable, cost-effective solution to their business-critical IT infrastructure needs,” Manuel D. Medina, chairman and CEO, Terremark, said.

 

Medina said that becoming the infrastructure provider for the Engine Yard private cloud offering presents a unique opportunity for the two companies to deliver the true power of cloud computing to customers developing the latest and most sophisticated Rails-based applications.

 

'Engine Yard's selection of Terremark Enterprise Cloud for its private cloud offering presents a strong proof-point for the benefits of VMware vCloud services,” Dan Chu, vice president, Cloud Infrastructure and Services, VMware, said.

Chu said that by working with Terremark, Engine Yard is able to leverage the VMware platform to enable the flexibility, scalability and security enterprise customers require.
