* More than 5,700 active customers across 110+ countries* More than 23,000 deployed servers* Placement in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Web Hosting and Cloud Infrastructure Services* Introduction of CloudLayer™ line of cloud services, including CloudLayer Storage, CloudLayer CDN, CloudLayer Computing, and Bare Metal Cloud™* Industry’s first deployment of Intel® Nehalem microarchitecture* IPv6 support across all data centers* Multiple carrier additions across all data centers for a total of 290Gbps
“We continue gaining momentum every year. We broke more projections and records this year than last, and 2010 will bring even more of the same,” said Lance Crosby, CEO of SoftLayer. “These three new pods meet the customer demand increases that we expect in the very near future. And they are only preliminary measures in our growth strategy for 2010. We have some big plans which we can’t wait to share with everyone.”
