SugarCRM’s New Private Cloud Piggybacks on Amazon

SugarCRM is launching a turnkey Private Cloud, a dedicated SugarCRM-managed private instance of its Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications using Amazon for its cloud.
It claims “exceptional” service levels of between 99.5% and 99.95%.
It’ll be available in the US, Ireland, Singapore, Japan, Australia and Brazil.
The widgetry employed includes Amazon’s load balancing, MySQL database, S3 storage, VPN and master-to-master replication. Sugar expects international accounts will “follow the sun” for the sake of data governance.
It says it’s been competing against in-house widgetry stuck together with bubble gum and bobby pins as well as Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics and Salesforce.com.
