eKwipper, Inc. Chooses World’s First Fully Automated Managed Hosting Solution from StrataScale to Deploy Innovative Advertising Platform

Point-of-Decision Advertising Platform Provider Relies on StrataScale Flagship Service to Reliably and Securely Deliver Its Solution to Market and Support High Growth

SACRAMENTO, CA—April 15, 2010—RagingWire’s subsidiary, StrataScale, Inc., makers of the world’s first fully automated Hybrid Cloud hosting solution, today announced that eKwipper, Inc., a provider of point-of-decision advertising solutions to the food retailing industry, has selected StrataScale’s flagship Automated Managed Hosting service because of its unmatched ability to deliver secure, reliable and fully supported enterprise-grade computing resources at a moment’s notice. These capabilities have dramatically reduced eKwipper’s lead times to market, helped contain costs and delivered the highest levels of security and reliability to its customers.

“As a young software company, focus is incredibly important,” said Tim Dougherty, operation manager at eKwipper. “For us that means focusing on where we add value, namely software development. We needed to find a partner that could reliably deliver the infrastructure our software relies on, and one that could also keep pace with the speed of our business. StrataScale’s platform was so easy to deploy and manage that we adopted it for our development and testing environments as well. And the platform has really helped increase the efficiency of our distributed development team. StrataScale made me a real believer in the cloud.”

StrataScale’s solution provides a fully automated managed hosting service that integrates the best qualities of cloud solutions with non-shared Enterprise class physical servers. With StrataScale’s automation, customers can build, manage, and scale fully managed and dedicated physical server environments in minutes from a secure web portal.

“eKwipper delivers a valuable service to consumers and food retailers, enabling both to take advantage of the latest advances in Web and location-based technology to drive better decision making at the point of sale,” said Yatish Mishra, founder, president and chief technology officer of StrataScale. “We are delighted that eKwipper chose StrataScale to play such a crucial role in the development and deployment of its solution, and that it is able to leverage all the benefits of our enterprise class hosting platform and cloud-like automation to drive tangible and real business results.”
