Logicworks today announced the launch of infiniCloud PowerCluster, a service specifically designed for large-scale cloud computing customers. infiniCloud PowerCluster, or simply "PowerCluster," is a bulk computing package that combines the company's popular infiniCloud service with private cloud resources creating a dedicated grid of compute nodes in a Private Availability Zone.

Public clouds have difficulty reaching the performance or reliability that most power users require. By offering a bulk private cloud package that reserves high-density server resources for a single client, PowerCluster customers will benefit on both price and performance. Logicworks' expertise in managing complex hosting environments will help customers benefit from proven technologies and prevent vendor lock-in associated with proprietary public cloud software tools.

PowerCluster clients will also have access to Logicworks' enterprise-grade monitoring and management tools and can leverage the proactive support of our qualified engineering team if and when they choose to. PowerCluster also includes EMC Isilon storage for peace of mind and scalable performance. For customers who choose to maintain certain functions at AWS, Logicworks will provide a direct connection to EC2 and S3 via Equinix and AboveNet.

Combining dedicated resources, economies of scale and the flexibility of cloud resources, infiniCloud PowerCluster creates a Private Availability Zone perfect for critical SaaS applications, digital media or applications with compliant hosting requirements such as PCI or HIPPA.
