***As of 12/2/2013, Paragrid and all its people have become part of the EvolveIP family. Watch for updates, but we are ALL extremely excited! Check out the company (and its LinkedIn Page) www.evolveip.net *** Paragrid has helped government, education, healthcare and corporate clients throughout the United States implement cloud computing and virtualization solutions. This is accomplished either by assisting customers to implement their own cloud computing environment or by leveraging Paragrid's Everyware virtualization services within Paragrid's cloud. Many providers are touting a “cloud-based” hosting solution due to storing servers offsite from the customer’s premises. However, Paragrid believes it offers a true cloud computing solution because its network spans two (2) diverse data centers while functioning as one network. Paragrid has built its data centers with one thing in mind - availability. Everything within Paragrid’s infrastructure, including the data centers themselves, is built upon a N+1 redundancy methodology to ensure operations are online and available to users. These data centers have numerous internet providers for redundancy and utilize BGP routing to appear as one network even though this network spans two (2) distinct data centers. The data centers are then connected via diverse gigabit speed fiber which allows Paragrid to host servers and desktops from either data center without worrying about DNS propagation times and failover delays. This also ensures real-time data mirroring for an unmatched recovery point objective (RPO) and allows Paragrid to move servers and desktops, while running, from one data center to the other without interruption.
