An update on how things are going here in Camp FlexiScale.
Since FoWA (and the coverage we’ve got since then on various blogs) has lead to an enormous amount of leads coming in, so much so we’ve filled our initial build out of servers (well of course, we haven’t actually filled it, but we have it at the capacity level we are happy with). We also still have a lot of people waiting to be added onto the platform.
Rest assured, a large order of new servers is being ordered and will be on it’s way shortly, we’re adding capacity for up to another 6000 instances in the next few months so that should satisfy most people
We’re also quite surprised (but pleased) at the number of current Amazon EC2 & S3 customers looking at either using our platform as well, or instead of Amazon’s. We’ll hopefully be publishing some case studies on some of these in the future.
Finally, we’ll be exhibiting at the Web 2 Expo in Berlin 6-8th November, and Philipp Huber our COO will be speaking on a panel regarding Web 2.0 Apps, and next generation data centres, so if you are attending please do pop by and say hello (we’re 4 down from Amazon’s stand *grin*).
Tony.
