IceWEB Launches Cloud Services Unit

STERLING, Va., Dec. 10 – IceWEB, Inc. (IWEB) a leading provider of Unified Data Storage appliances for cloud and virtual environments, today announced the launch of its IceWEB Cloud Services Unit, providing secure, infinitely expandable, ubiquitous cloud capabilities to its Unified Storage customers.

Gaurang Mehta, IceWEB’s Chief Technology Officer said, “This launch represents the culmination of a lengthy period of development. We are now able to offer a complete suite of Cloud Storage Services to our customers who have been reluctant to move in the direction of the ‘public cloud’ types of architecture. IceWEB’s Cloud Services unit will provide them with the security, control and expandability they need now and in the future.”

“Additionally," IceWEB CEO, Rob Howe stated, “We are very excited about this launch of an entirely new level of services from our company. We will very soon launch Phase Two of IceWEB’s Cloud Services, a nationwide Content Delivery Network, providing the absolute top tier of services available in the market. Why that matters is that companies who must maintain their data “everywhere at once” and who have been at the mercy of extremely overpriced solutions, now have an affordable alternative with no diminution in their service level. This is the future, and IceWEB is leading that charge.”

Howe went on to say, “We are seeing more and more that the cloud as a local service in government, education, healthcare and corporate entities is rocketing to the front of required services. Using a “public” cloud has caused great harm to many organizations as they see their precious data assets leaving the enterprise. Those entities now urgently need to offer their own cloud services on their own campus or premise, and they will now be able to do that with IceWEB. We will launch our IceFOLDER mobile client software, enabling business associates, students, faculty, customers or constituents to manage their own personal folder in the business or campus cloud from any device—a smartphone, tablet, notebook, whatever, while securing that data according to the controls required by the enterprise on IceWEB appliances running in their on-premise cloud.

“The expansion and extension of the cloud portion of our business has been a critical focus area for me since coming to IceWEB, and we are now seeing the first fruits of those efforts. There’s not a business segment in the US that doesn’t need one of the aspects of IceWEB Cloud Services, and we will lead in that space.”

About IceWEB

IceWEB manufactures award-winning, high performance unified data storage appliances with enterprise storage management capabilities at a fraction of the price of traditional providers, while reducing space, power and cooling requirements and simplifying storage management for land-based, virtual and cloud environments.

CometCloud: Using a Federated HPC-Cloud to Understand Fluid Flow in Microchannels

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.

CERN, Google, and the Future of Global Science Initiatives

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

NASA Builds 'Climate in a Box'

May 23, 2013 | The study of climate change is one of those scientific problems where it is almost essential to model the entire Earth to attain accurate results and make worthwhile predictions. In an attempt to make climate science more accessible to smaller research facilities, NASA introduced what they call ‘Climate in a Box,’ a system they note acts as a desktop supercomputer.

Running Computational Fluid Dynamics in the Cloud

May 16, 2013 | When it comes to cloud, long distances mean unacceptably high latencies. Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany examined those latency issues of doing CFD modeling in the cloud by utilizing a common CFD and its utilization in HPC instance types including both CPU and GPU cores of Amazon EC2.

Best Practices in Big Data Storage

05/10/2013 | Cleversafe, Cray, DDN, NetApp, & Panasas | From Wall Street to Hollywood, drug discovery to homeland security, companies and organizations of all sizes and stripes are coming face to face with the challenges – and opportunities – afforded by Big Data. Before anyone can utilize these extraordinary data repositories, however, they must first harness and manage their data stores, and do so utilizing technologies that underscore affordability, security, and scalability.

Exploring the Potential of Heterogeneous Computing

04/02/2012 | AMD | Developers today are just beginning to explore the potential of heterogeneous computing, but the potential for this new paradigm is huge. This brief article reviews how the technology might impact a range of application development areas, including client experiences and cloud-based data management. As platforms like OpenCL continue to evolve, the benefits of heterogeneous computing will become even more accessible. Use this quick article to jump-start your own thinking on heterogeneous computing.
