RocketCloud - SSD Cloud Servers in the UK

Hacker News

https://rocketcloud.me RocketCloud offers SSD-backed cloud servers in the UK. We are a small team consisting of developers and system admins that decided (for various reasons) the current cloud server offerings weren't good enough. For example: Many have far too many options and pricing structures since you have to choose two of these for every one of those and need this data bus for that storage stack and if you run out of this thing you have to pay for that other thing. Privacy and security issues due to governmental laws and restrictions and allegations of backdoors into the infrastructure. Few provide SSDs as an option but those that offer them do so at inflated prices. Being in the EU we have very strong laws governing data privacy and security and no back doors into our infrastructure either. We are also taking the dozens of options that others have and are trimming them down to only a few sensible ones. Oh, and we only use SSDs in our servers giving you up to 250x I/O performance over normal enterprise disks and we don't charge a premium for them since they are a standard offering. We don't quite have everything in place yet and will need beta testers soon so if you are interested in being part of the beta, or you just want to be kept informed of our progress then please enter your email on the site and we will keep you up to date.
