Instantly Reset your VM & Centos 6 Announcement

(January 23, 2012, Posted in General News )

Last week we deployed a couple of updates to the Dashboard for Virtual Server customers. First off, you can now completely reset your VM back to it's original state. Note: This is not reversable.

You can access this feature by clicking on "Manage" next to your VM, and then clicking "Reset VM".

We also updated our Server Images, and you can now order Centos 6!

The Maestro behind the Dashboard

(July 12, 2011, Posted in General News by Thomas Brenneke)

Kris Watson joined Network Redux in September of 2010. His primary role? Build tools.

Over the course of several months, new internal tools were built. With a strong background in ruby, many aspects of our organization started to embrace the beauty of Ruby as a language.

Kris then took the lead role in building our automated Dashboard (https://dashboard.networkredux.com) and the underlying service components that power this extremely fast and robust service platform.

What began as an initial project in providing an abstraction layer to the Citrix XenServer API soon turned in to a full blown automation platform for our customer base. With drivers currently written for the Citrix XenServer and Parallels Virtuozzo API's, and VMWare in development, Kris and team have an extremely dynamic living system that is being nurtured on a daily basis. While our competition may have similar platforms, nothing comes close to the speed and versatility to what we are building.

Once an Infrastructure as a Service provider, we are gradually evolving into a Platform as a service Provider. Integrating, Development, Operations and Security into a well tuned team of experts.

Network Redux services now extend to the E.U.

Dear Customers and Loyal Readers,

Today marks a monumental day for Network Redux. We have officially launched facilities and operations within the E.U.

Within our automated Dashboard, clients may now select between our Portland, Oregon and Amsterdam datacenters. Customers utilizing our API will now have region selection in their automation workflow.

As well, we are pleased to now provide support for Ubuntu 11.04 inclusive of this regional support offering. These templates are available immediately from all regions.

We are also very pleased to announce that this regional addition includes Enterprise Private Clouds. Service availability is no longer restricted to a single continent.

I’d like to thank the entire Network Redux team from Operations to Development for a job well done. Stay tuned for more ground breaking services and features for both existing and new customers.
