The fifth annual MSPmentor 250 report is based on a global survey of MSPmentor site readers conducted from May through July 2012.

I am pleased to announce that our Stratosphere enterprise cloud computing platform now supports RightScale cloud management.  Using our CloudStack based API, Datapipe customers can now leverage the power of RightScale to connect, manage, and deploy resources on Stratosphere.  

Recently, I gave a presentation at AWS Cloud Summit in NYC discussing the adoption of hybrid cloud infrastructures. Datapipe has seen tremendous demand for hybrid clouds from our enterprise customers.  These customers want the power and innovation of public cloud, with the assurance of managed services and connectivity to reliable, high-performance database and storage infrastructure. My presentation from the AWS NYC Summit can be found below.

Datapipe and New Relic have partnered to offer all Datapipe customers New Relic Standard free of charge! With New Relic you can monitor your apps in real time, track real end-user experiences, and diagnose and eliminate bottlenecks.
