London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/21/2010 -- The ongoing downtime of lanky, crocked Greek defender Vangelis Moras (VM) during the football World Cup is the inspiration behind business hosting company StratoGen’s special summer offer. Every week that VM is out of action during the tournament StratoGen will give its customers a week of free VMware cloud hosting.

The towering 6ft 5in central defender missed his country’s dire opening World Cup game through a groin injury, a massive balls up to the Greek nation`s hopes in the tournament.

Greece’s depleted defences saw them lose 2-0 to the technically advanced South Koreans on Saturday. VM wasn’t in Greece’s game against Nigeria either. Unlike StratoGen’s Cloud Hosting, VM is suffering from a lack of flexibility and availability.

Karl Robinson, Director of StratoGen, said: “The best defences in the world are big, strong and secure – three qualities that StratoGen has but the Greeks are desperately missing during VM’s downtime. Judging by their less than Gladiatorial performance last weekend, VM`s lack of availability looks to have cost his team dear. In contrast, StratoGen’s customers can rely on a rock solid defence when it comes to security. All purchases come with a 100 per cent uptime service level agreement, flexibility and seamless substitution of hosting of live cloud instances, guaranteeing users the very best business hosting infrastructure. For every week of VM’s downtime during the world cup, we’ll give our customers a week of free VMware hosting uptime. If he’s out for the whole tournament, they’ll get 20 per cent off their yearly contract.”

StratoGen’s VMware Cloud Hosting gives its customers the optimum flexibility for whatever tactics they want to deploy. High Availability (HA) is the magic sponge for Cloud Hosting products. HA closes down a failing program or system and restarts it again, ensuring hosting environments are always in play with ultimate uptime and will never let customers down in the event of minor injuries. Distributed Resource Scheduling (DRS) optimises the cloud infrastructure, ensuring it plays to its strengths and saves energy, as well as being more reliable and cost effective for clients. The smooth passing vMotion facility substitutes live cloud instances from one physical server to another of the same performance and specification with no impact to end users.

StratoGen offers three leagues of VMware hosting – Cloud Instance, Shared Private Cloud and Dedicated Private Cloud.

Cloud Instance is a single virtual machine hosted on the StratoGen VMware vSphere 4.0 Cluster. A team of more than two virtual machines creates a Shared Private Cloud. The Dedicated Private Cloud is a custom built, fully managed VMware vSphere Cluster giving clients their own private cloud server dreamteam within StratoGen’s world class data centre.

The lengthy downtime of Greek VM on the world stage this summer is an open goal to companies looking for a cloud hosting deal. They can gain weeks of free world class performance from StratoGen’s VMware Cloud Hosting products the longer Vangelis Moras’s injury persists.
