Acquia, une société spécialisée dans le service autour du CMS Open Source Drupal et fondée par le créateur de Drupal, et Alter Way, l’une des SSLL clés dans l’Hexagone, ont décidé de renforcer leur partenariat en proposant Acquia Cloud Extend au marché français. Cette offre conjugue certes un hébergement de Drupal sur des datacenters français, mais donne également accès à l’offre Acquia Cloud, qui apporte un environnement expert autour de Drupal, doué notamment d’un environnement de développement, d’un accès aux API d’Acquia Cloud, et d’outils d’optimisation des déploiements, comme l’indique le site d’Acquia. Un workflow automatisé ainsi qu’un système de stacking adapté à Drupal sont également intégrés, souligne Alter Way dans un communiqué. A cela s’ajoute un accès aux experts de chez Acquia.

Alter Way, qui était déjà partenaire d’Acquia autour de l’intégration Drupal, servira ainsi de relai pour lancer cette offre Cloud en France, «pays-pilote» avant un déploiement de l’offre à l’international.

Alter Way propose des services d’hébergement de sites Web et dispose également d’une offre cloud baptisée H2O, à base de solutions Open Source.

Andrew Kenney's picture

I spent a thrilling 7 years at my previous company before it was time to move on. In that time I was instrumental in building a leading SaaS community platform and Single-Sign-On solution and got to work with many world renown clients. When I chose to leave I knew I wanted to take my time in selecting my next job. Thus, I researched multiple companies searching for a role that would satisfy my passions for engineering team and product management, building massive, scalable globally-distributed LAMP systems and exciting client engagements.

Network pain affects every IT manager.

  • Network hardware like load balancers are expensive.
  • Network design is complex, especially sprawling enterprise networks and multi-tenant ISP networks.
  • Expertise is required to keep them running.

Any company that can ease this pain is onto a good thing. Virtualizing network technology is a hot cloud topic that companies like Embrane, Nicira and Big Switch Networks are in the middle of. The next piece of virtual networking technology for me to deal with is a load balancer. Here, I talk about load balancing in general, and later I will use the AWS console to add a virtual load balancer to my new pair of Drupal instances.
