OpSource™, the leader in enterprise-class hosting and services, today announced that flight management company Avianis has saved 75 percent over traditional hosting costs and increased customer confidence by moving its application to OpSource Cloud, the first cloud computing solution to bring together the flexibility, availability and community of the public cloud with enterprise-class security, performance and control.
Not only was Avianis able to move its entire application to the Cloud in less than two weeks, with no re-architecting required but, by taking advantage of OpSource Cloud's 100 percent SLA and compliance features, the company has seen customer satisfaction immediately soar.
"We looked at numerous cloud solutions, including Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azure, but there was a very large development effort needed to port to either of these. On the other hand, we could move to OpSource Cloud without making any code changes at all," said Daniel Tharp, President and CEO, Avianis. "We wanted a cloud that you could control all the way down to the OS, with a breadth of services like billing that we could deploy as we grow. OpSource Cloud has given us all of these features -- and, through its 100 percent SLA, it's bringing us the kind of always-on performance that has made our customers take notice."
Avianis is focused on the business aviation industry, managing the flight schedules, personnel regulatory records and the general operating logistics of corporate and privately owned aircraft. Avianis serves a wide range of flight operations, from charter, corporate, and fractional ownership setups to large government and military support operations. At any time, the Avianis system is controlling the schedules and data of hundreds of aircraft on every continent except Asia. Formerly known as Trindigo, the company's rebranding, also announced today, is part of a concerted effort to quickly grow its worldwide footprint -- and having a cloud infrastructure that could grow with its business was integral to Avianis' plans.
"Our service has been a great success and we are now at the point where we want to expand our business. Cloud computing gives us the infrastructure we need to grow rapidly but stably," Tharp continued. "And OpSource Cloud alone offered us the level of compliance and security that we needed to bring our business to the next level."
When dealing with aviation plans, security is an important issue. OpSource Cloud addresses this need by providing every customer with a private cloud within the public cloud, allowing Avianis tight control over its application's degree of Internet connectivity. OpSource Cloud also offers enterprise-quality controls, including user level login/password and operational permissions, all backed by a 100 percent SLA. This level of increased control means that Avianis can be sure that users can only access their own flight data, ensuring privacy and safety.
"The Avianis story is a great example of how moving to the cloud can not only save a company money but can enhance its performance and growth potential," said Treb Ryan, CEO, OpSource. "We look forward to helping Avianis expand its worldwide footprint while maintaining the great quality that has made its application such a success."

Panda discovers malware on HTC Magic phone
A Panda Security employee discovered three malware programs on a recently purchased HTC Magic phone when it was plugged it into a Windows computer.
Upon further investigation, Panda found that the employee’s phone contained three malware programs: a client for the now-defunct Mariposa botnet, the Conficker worm as well as a password stealer for the Lineage game, said Pedro Bustamante, Panda’s senior research adviser.
The malware programs were on the phone’s 8GB microSD memory card, which mounts as an external drive when plugged into a PC, Bustamante said. When plugged into a Windows PC, the Mariposa botnet client would automatically run, Bustamante said.
Mariposa was at one time one of the largest botnets responsible for denial-of-service attacks and stealing banking credentials until it was shut down by security researchers in December after they disabled its command-and-control servers. Spanish police have since arrested three men affiliated with the botnet.
Mariposa’s autorun configuration may have overwritten Conficker’s autorun capability, Bustamante said. Conficker is a worm that still infects millions of machines worldwide despite an aggressive campaign by security experts to eradicate it. The password-stealing program would not run automatically unless someone double clicked on the file, Bustamante said.
A Vodafone spokesman said the company is looking into the situation but that it appears to be an isolated incident. “We will obviously fully investigate this and make sure that any necessary changes to our security policies are put in place,” he said.
The HTC Magic phone has been on the market for more than a year, so it’s unlikely that the malware programs were installed at the factory. “It would have popped up earlier,” Bustamante said.
What is more likely is that the phone was purchased by someone else, the microSD card became infected after the phone was plugged into an infected PC, and then the phone returned to Vodafone.
“It was probably returned to Vodafone and sent to another person without flashing it or restoring the memory of the phone,” Bustamante.
Many phones can be reset to their factory settings by pushing a couple of buttons, which would have erased the malware and reset the phone, something that should be standard procedure before selling a refurbished phone, Bustamante said.
“The question is why wasn’t it done,” he said.
Vodafone is tracing the phone, which was ordered in Spain, to see which warehouse it came from, Bustamante said. Vodafone distributes the phone in the U.K., Spain, Germany and France, he said.
Panda, which has published a blog post with screenshots, also plans on purchase two or three more HTC Magics for investigation.

OpSource Cloud Customer Adoption Surges as Businesses Demand More From the Cloud
Customers of All Sizes and Geographies Choose OpSource Cloud for Its Enterprise-Class Performance, Security and Support
OpSource™, the leader in Cloud operations, today announced that OpSource Cloud™ has experienced an average growth rate of 44 percent per month since its public Beta launch in October, with customers representing everyone from small Internet shops to the new class of Cloud VARS. All customers, regardless of size, vertical or geography, have chosen OpSource Cloud because it alone offers them enterprise-class performance, security and support not only at a competitive price but with a 100 percent SLA.
"When one of our clients wanted to move to the cloud, we evaluated OpSource Cloud and Amazon EC2, among others," said Steve Laing, director of U.K.-based Country Computers. "We chose OpSource Cloud because of its ease of use and great controls. OpSource Cloud's pricing structure made choosing to sign-up a no-brainer. It cost us less to sign-up and test out the system than it would to do a traditional written evaluation. Plus, it took me only an evening to get the application up and running. OpSource Cloud is very intuitive for a system administrator -- everything is where you would expect it to be and there is no real learning curve."
Country Computers is a UK-based IT consultancy, specializing in implementation, support and training. In addition to its ease of use, Country Computers was drawn to OpSource Cloud for its great scalability. OpSource Cloud also offers users enterprise-quality controls, including user level login and passwords, operational permissions, all backed by a 100 percent SLA.
"We looked at several cloud platform as a service providers, but only OpSource Cloud lets you easily spin up servers with the highest level of security possible," said Simon Tin-Yul Kok, CSO and manager of IT/Hosting Operations, RewardStream. "Security and customer support are critical in our business -- if we've got a problem we need to know that someone is on it in real-time. With other vendors, you have to wait a long time for a response. With OpSource, our experience has been that someone is there to help you right away."
RewardStream, a leader in SaaS loyalty marketing programs, turned to OpSource Cloud for its ease of use and unparalled security, both important qualities when dealing with critical customer data. With OpSource Cloud, each customer receives a private network and sets the degree of public Internet connectivity they wish to grant, from totally private to fully available. OpSource Cloud also provides user customizable security with a compliant, high-performance, multi-tier Cloud architecture and full user control over firewall settings. In addition, OpSource Cloud offers 24x7 phone support and a rich online community to share and collaborate with peers as well as get third-party add-ins, images and configurations.
"Medium-sized businesses are where we are seeing the Cloud get entrenched first," said Patrick Spillane, solutions architect, Veris Technologies. "These companies are in an uncomfortable spot where they don't have $100,000 to spend on their infrastructure and they are also aren't ready to be totally hands-off. When we show these customers OpSource Cloud they get it right away. They appreciate that they can turn their servers on and off as they need them, and that they are getting everything from SAS 70 audit to 100 percent SLAs to APIs to 24x7 support. OpSource Cloud gives us and our customers the raw materials we need to build absolutely anything we can dream of. And we literally have gotten servers up and running in seconds. We've only scratched the surface of what we can do with OpSource Cloud."
Veris Technologies is focused on delivering cloud solutions to SMBs and is also building its own SaaS solution for the legal industry on OpSource Cloud. In addition to its unmatched features, Veris was drawn to OpSource Cloud for its aggressive pricing and for the ability to pay for only what you consume with no commitment, but with discounts for monthly programs. The company also found its online sign-up and fast provisioning a competitive edge when reselling OpSource Cloud to its customers since OpSource Cloud alone lets you create a new account in seconds, with servers up and running in just minutes.
"OpSource Cloud is seeing great traction with companies of all sizes and across multiple verticals, proving that enterprise-class features are absolutely essential to anyone moving to the cloud today," said Treb Ryan, CEO, OpSource. "Customers are demanding a lot out of the second generation cloud. We have listened to them and built a solution that meets all of their needs--and is helping change corporate computing as we know it today."
OpSource Cloud is the first cloud to bring together the flexibility, availability and community of the public cloud with the security, performance and control the enterprise demands.

WAN Optimization-as-a-Service Surfaces
As cloud-based services become more prevalent, whether private or public, the provision of an end-to-end software solution for virtualized WAN optimization from the data center, to the branch office and mobile users will be paramount. Management, visibility and monitoring of the WAN and its traffic will be critical here.
For example, QoS in and out of the cloud; mobile clients for remote cloud users; VDI/SBC support for DaaS (Desktop-as-a-Service) and for the support WOaaS (WAN Optimization-as-a-Service) will all be critical considerations.
Only a wholly virtual WAN optimization offering will enable the cloud infrastructure, both private and public, to be deployed and managed from any location. This enables organizations to deploy into their hosted cloud offering over the wire as well as allowing managed service organizations to host WAN optimization-as-a-service in its own right or as part of a service they sell when providing their cloud offerings, be it just cloud or managed storage, applications, desktops, etc.
