OpSource Enterprise Cloud Hosting Selected by iViZ Security

iViZ Security, a premier cloud-based penetration testing Security Company, has opted for OpSource’s Enterprise Cloud Hosting to deliver its suite of Web application and network penetration testing services in the cloud.

Migrating from an in-house SaaS model to OpSource’s (News - Alert) cloud solution, iViZ Security was able to provide its customers with the first cloud-based on-demand penetration testing solution. It also offers its partners the ability to launch their own cloud-based on-demand penetration testing business in seven days at zero opex.

Consultant grade quality penetration testing with an on-demand experience is delivered by iViZ Security. For in-depth vulnerability testing with zero false positives via a cost-effective SaaS (News - Alert) model, it also provides automated security assessments with manual verification and custom exploitation by security experts.

iViZ Security, prior to the deployment of OpSource Cloud, was challenged by ever increasing scaling demands and required over-provisioning of services. With the help of OpSource’s enterprise-class Cloud Hosting, iViZ Security is allowed to build its own Virtual Private Cloud with dedicated virtual infrastructure, giving customers more flexible pricing options and the ability to ramp services up and down as they are needed.

“In order to scale fast enough to meet the high demand from our partners, who leverage iViZ Security to launch their own on-demand penetration testing practices, we needed to migrate our solution to an elastic cloud infrastructure for increased scalability of our service offering and reduced overhead of managing our own data center,” said Scott Bradley, vice president of Americas of iViZ Security, in a press release. “With new partners going live every week with their own branded cloud-based penetration testing services, it made a highly scalable solution an imperative. With OpSource, we were able to launch on-demand services for our partners, reduce process execution time, scale, cut expenses and improve revenue growth, all of which allows us to fund continued R&D and product and service innovation.”

Immediate benefits have been seen by iViZ Security for its partners who are able to launch cloud-based on-demand automated penetration testing services under their own brand.

“iViZ Security had the vision and fortitude to combine consulting grade quality testing with an online SaaS experience. By moving its business to a cloud-based model they were able to scale the business in a seamless way and improve the quality of their services,” said Keao Caindec, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of OpSource, in a press release. “OpSource shares iViZ Security’s commitment to provide its partners and customers with the highest quality solutions that are secure and cost-efficient. We are pleased to help iViZ Security both spur its business growth and enable and expand upon its SaaS strategy as well as their partners’ SaaS strategy.”

Zenoss’s five commercial customers have been positioned in Gartner (News - Alert), Inc.'s 2010 Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service and Web Hosting, including two of the five in the "Leaders" quadrant.
