Testing the new Alurium aCloud™ environment

admin — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 08:46:12 +0000

We are getting very close to releasing our new Alurium Cloud hosting service. In fact last night we moved Alurium.com into a cloud server on our new environment. Anecdotally it seems much snapier than the previous none cloud server. We also apologize for some issues the move may have caused, we took down the client portal for a few hours while the files and database were being moved over. A few customers got invoices without our logo in them but that has now been corrected.

Let us know what you think about the performance of Alurium.com on the new Alurium Cloud server. If you are interested in getting on a preview list for the Alurium Cloud service let us know that as well.
