Happy Tuesday, readers.

Today, let’s huddle real quick about Hivelocity, a provider of high-performance cloud hosting, VPS, dedicated services, cloud object storage, server management solutions and more.

This past April, I covered Colohouse’s acquisition of Hivelocity and the goal therein – Colohouse strengthening its portfolio and “reinforcing the commitment to delivering top-tier IT infrastructure services,” as stated by Colohouse CEO Jeremy Pease. Colohouse’s managed data center and cloud offerings (paired with key edge locations and reliable connectivity capabilities) were already equipping customers with requisite resources for confidently scaling cloud operations in secure, cost-conscious ways. With Hivelocity, the potential for further scaling workloads has expanded.

But now, businesses are facing further challenges; rigorously evolving security and compliance requirements, cost control mandates, and even higher performance demands.

So, what can be done?

Well, take the new announcement from Hivelocity that dropped just earlier this morning:

Hivelocity has announced the launch of its new private cloud offering, powered by VMware.

According to its official announcement, Hivelocity stated that this “utilizes our purpose-built infrastructure for high-performance private computing to address rapid security-centric go-to-market needs with the capacity required to control cloud costs and navigate VMware/Broadcom (News - Alert) licensing changes.” Its new service also leverages VMWare Cloud Foundation (VCF), Cloud Director, and NSX architectures to provide fully integrated backup, restore and disaster recovery measures, to boot.

“As businesses seek to optimize their cloud expenditures while maintaining the necessary capacity and functionality for mission-critical workloads, private cloud presents a compelling option,” explained Scott Fuhriman, Hivelocity’s CTO. “Hivelocity has developed a platform tailored to these needs. And now, whether it's navigating VMware licensing changes, refreshing outdated hardware, upgrading to modern architectures or requiring instant access to available capacity, Hivelocity’s private cloud solution and expert team are continuously ready to deliver."

Adding to Fuhriman’s statement, Jeremy Pease provided additional commentary.

“We are excited to offer enterprise-grade, advanced private cloud capabilities,” Pease said. “This service is another impactful infrastructure solution that is being seamlessly integrated with our extensive bare metal cloud and our broader data center and network footprint. This integration allows customers to manage their private cloud environments effortlessly, with comprehensive tools and support at their fingertips. It gives them the ability to deploy applications on the right infrastructure optimized for their needs.”
