GoGrid Announces Version 2.0
Today GoGrid, the Cloud Computing service from ServePath, released version 2.0 of its award-winning Cloud Computing Infrastructure solution. With this release, GoGrid users now have the ability to create personal server images, known as MyGSIs. MyGSI stands for “personal GoGrid Server Image,” a “Golden Master” server image that can be customized, saved and stored for future deployments. Users are now able to create new servers from stored MyGSIs via the GoGrid web portal or API quickly and easily.
We are extremely excited about this innovative new GoGrid release
This is an important development in the Cloud Computing marketplace, and further demonstrates our visionary approach to providing Cloud Computing functionality and features that our customers desire.
“We are extremely excited about this innovative new GoGrid release,” said John Keagy, CEO and Co-Founder of GoGrid and ServePath. “This is an important development in the Cloud Computing marketplace, and further demonstrates our visionary approach to providing Cloud Computing functionality and features that our customers desire.”
The creation of a MyGSI is an extremely simple 3-step process. First add an Image Sandbox, second, configure and prepare the Image Sandbox and third, save the Image Sandbox as a MyGSI. When a user needs to create a new Windows or Linux server based on the pre-configured MyGSI, they simply choose the saved image, fill in a few details, and instantiate the server in minutes within the GoGrid cloud.
There are several benefits and advantages of using a MyGSI to deploy servers within the GoGrid cloud:

Why the public sector is opening the doors to open source technology?
Jul 16th
With the public sector spending plans of all political parties coming under close scrutiny, IT is being labelled in equal measure as the cause and saviour of the current spending crunch that the public sector is facing.
However, it is not a simple either/or argument. It is not a case of should the country have an eGovernment strategy, but rather what that strategy should be.
The debate reached a new height this week with the Conservative Party’s announcement regarding its suggested alternative to the spiralling costs of the NHS database project. Moving on from general statements of intent, this was the one of the first acknowledgements that government technology purchasing is under the spotlight and seen to be an important part of a party’s manifesto.
The idea of moving NHS data into the ‘cloud’ through providers such as Google is a bold choice; however it mimics strategies that have been adopted across the private sector. There is no doubt that the landscape of public sector technology purchasing is changing and the adoption of open source/ open standards technology provides a more transparent, democratic approach to technology purchasing.
