Terremark Worldwide, Inc., a provider of managed IT infrastructure services, today announced that Engine Yard, a provider of automation technologies and services for Ruby on Rails, has selected its Enterprise Cloud for Engine Yard customers who require a private cloud service.

The company explains that Terremark Enterprise Cloud was the ideal Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) for Engine Yard Private Cloud based on its track record of providing enterprise and Federal government customers reliability, scalability and security. It avers that as Engine Yard continues to build its private cloud customer base, the Enterprise Cloud supports the Engine Yard mission to deliver the most reliable and secure Ruby on Rails platform available.

The company states that the Terremark Enterprise Cloud allows customers the ability to provision, configure, deploy and manage computing resources for mission-critical applications in minutes, giving control over a flexible pool of computing resources with a web-based console for deploying server capacity on demand. It claims that the platform provides scalability and flexibility, as well as a suite of managed security services that includes comprehensive vulnerability assessments, log aggregation and event correlation, network session flow analysis, attack replay, and application firewall management.

"This exciting new partnership with Engine Yard will be greatly beneficial to the many Rails application developers and web development firms that are looking for a reliable, cost-effective solution to their business-critical IT infrastructure needs," said Manuel D.

"Becoming the infrastructure provider for the Engine Yard private cloud offering presents a unique opportunity for our two companies to deliver the true power of cloud computing to customers developing the latest and most sophisticated Rails-based applications."

"Developers can take full advantage of Rails when they're not losing cycles to the complexities of application deployment and maintenance. Over the last year, we've seen rapid adoption of our public cloud offering, and we anticipate this partnership with Terremark will drive equal adoption in our private cloud offering," said John Dillon, Engine Yard CEO. "Engine Yard cloud offerings help developers stop worrying about scalability, security and uptime so they can focus on the art of building great applications."

"Engine Yard's selection of Terremark Enterprise Cloud for its private cloud offering presents a strong proof-point for the benefits of VMware vCloud services," said Dan Chu, Vice President, Cloud Infrastructure and Services, VMware.
