Hosting.com has announced its partnership with network solutions provider Coyote Point Systems. Coyote Point's load balancing products set the industry standard by providing cost-effective, secure and reliable traffic management solutions.

Hosting.com Cloud, Dedicated and Colocation customers utilize the Dedicated Load Balancing solution for improved application response time and uptime. By dynamically distributing traffic across the web servers, the uptime of client applications and websites is dramatically improved. Dedicated load balancing is an ideal solution for customers with multiple web servers, customers expecting an increase in web traffic and those that require high availability for their mission-critical applications.

Gabe Grice, Hosting.com Product Manager, commented, "Ensuring the uptime and availability of client applications and web assets is critical to Hosting.com's current and continued success; offering Coyote Point's dedicated load balancers allows us to bring a secure, cost-effective solution to a broader set of customers. A specific cost cutting measure is that clients can offload SSL certificates directly to the Equalizer; thus, reducing the processing power needed to support the certificates directly on a customer's server."

Natural Insight, a SaaS task management solution for merchandisers and retailers, implemented the dedicated load balancing solution to support SSL termination in order to meet the strict session persistence requirements of their clients. Since the implementation, traffic on the Natural Insights servers has doubled. Natural Insight has grown from a few hundred users a month to over 50,000 in just 4 years and now process millions of pieces of data, images and PDFs each month. The Hosting.com and Coyote Point solution was a major factor in their ability to grow and service their clients' needs.

"Natural Insight's growth has been phenomenal - but we hit a performance limitation with our shared load balancing solution and knew it would cause some customer pain points if not corrected," stated Paul Carney, Natural Insight's VP of Technical Services. "We turned to Hosting.com for their expertise to determine the right solution and equally important, the migration process. Hosting.com worked with us and Coyote Point to provide the solution we needed not only for our current growth, but also to support our future growth - the migration and implementation processes were seamless.

"Coyote Point's Application Delivery Controller technology will augment Hosting.com's strategy to provide high availability and Always On solutions to their clients. This solution ensures the availability and accelerated performance of mission critical applications in a cost-effective, hosted model," said James Puchbauer, Director of Marketing and Business Development for Coyote Point, "The Managed Services and On-Demand Hosting are key markets for Coyote Point. We are very pleased to have a premier provider and innovative leader in this space like Hosting.com recognize our value proposition."
