>>SoftLayer Launches CloudLayer Suite

Combining a public and private network in a “hybrid” infrastructure is all the rage these days. But it’s nothing new for SoftLayer, which has been using this approach since the company was founded in 2005.

CloudLayer offers customers the choice of a monthly plan or resource-based “pay as you go” billing, and leverages SoftLayer’s automated service delivery platform to integrate multi-site storage and backup and CDN offering (supported by Internap’s CDN network). The storage and CDN services are available now, while the CloudLayer Computing service will launch shortly, the company said.

SoftLayer is based in Plano, Texas, and operates data centers at the Dallas Informart carrier hotel, and in Internap facilities in Seattle and northern Virginia. The company has more than 5,500 customers in 110 countries, with about half based outside the United States. SoftLayer manages 21,000 customer servers, and has annual revenue of more than $75 million, the company said.
