NYI Reinvents the Data Center with Containers on Burstable Metal

NYI will house a new lab environment for Engine Yard’s Deis platform for large-scale colocation environments. The announcement follows Engine Yard’s selection of NYI as its East coast data center partner. NYI will provide power, space and dedicated servers, as well as a dedicated team to support Engine Yard in bringing cutting-edge bare metal solutions to those who have outgrown their cloud solutions.

These types of solutions offer a more robust system and enhanced processing capabilities, not to mention performance, compliance and cost benefits. The lab will be used for testing failure modes, network partitions and deltas between Deis releases, which will  ensure that all container on metal solutions meet high performance, scalability and availability standards.

Our team is looking forward to our continued work with Engine Yard to bring container on metal solutions to those who have outgrown their cloud solutions and are looking for an alternative that allows them to scale quickly and effectively.”
