osting Cluster Expanded by EIRCA, with Third Datacenter


Shelburne, Nova Scotia - (The Hosting News) - May 12, 2008 - H-Sphere cluster hosting provider, EIRCA Ltd., has expanded its geographically clustered services core feature, to a third Washington D.C. datacenter.

The move comes as a result of the recent announcement of an exclusive agreement with Softlayer Technologies, which saw the two companies form a long-term mutually beneficial partnership. The third datacenter is located just 7 miles from Dulles International Airport in a facility designed to full Tier IV standards. It features multiple redundant power connections in addition to the three 2-megawatt generators and eight, fully redundant, 750 kVA UPS systems.

The completion of the third datacenter was also accompanied by a new addition to the company's Geographically Clustered Service, specifically targeted toward the company's large reseller hosting client base. Simon O'Rourke, CEO of EIRCA Ltd. noted, ''With the three enterprise datacenters being so geographically diverse, it gives our clients a massive advantage over their respective competitors' clients can designate a specific account or domain to the datacenter that best suits their needs.''

The expanded cluster also introduces geographically diverse DNS, mail, and database servers to accompany the company's Windows and Linux file servers. The introduction of the Geographically Clustered Services, and the recently announced partnership with Softlayer Technologies, has seen a dramatic increase in sales for the company.

Mr. O'Rourke added, ''Sales conversion is up 72% on the last quarter, with customer retention hitting an all-time best at slightly under 99% retention, according to our research, that is due largely in part to the recent partnership with Softlayer Technologies which allows us to expand our reach and deliver next-generation web hosting across a geographically diverse network.''

The mission of establishing EIRCA Ltd. has been premium technical support and complete automation. The company is best known for its specific dedication to clustered web hosting on the H-Sphere platform.
