Sun sheds light on Yuntaa

We’re extremely honoured that Sun Microsystems, one of our esteemed partners, has put some spotlights on Yuntaa by profiling us in its Customer Snapshot feature.

Here’s how they described our service:

“Yuntaa is a Belgian Web 2.0 platform where users from around the world can store, manage, and share a variety of digital files such as photos, music, and videos. “Yuntaa” is Spanish slang for “alternative,” and the company prides itself in being an alternative choice on the Web. The online service combines the best of Web 2.0 applications with the security and benefits of online storage and backup. Founded in 2006, Yuntaa released its online solutions in June 2007 and continues to expand its base of 30,000 users.”

In the piece, you’ll find more information about the challenges of building a service as versatile and scalable as Yuntaa, and the solutions that allowed us to meet them head-on.

With the help of another partner of ours, Axio Systems, which is a Sun Certified Partner in Belgium, we’ve replaced commodity hardware with scalable and reliable Sun technology including Sun Blade X6250 Server Modules. We’re also running a highly scalable Oracle Database 11g solution based on a Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000 server. Sun storage technology provides increased data protection and simplified administration.
