Cloud software company HybridCluster announced on Tuesday more details around its Super Dense Auto-scaling platform within HybridCluster 2.0, which the company launched at the beginning of May.

The Super Dense Auto-scaling platform is a standard functionality of HybridCluster 2.0, its integrated suite of storage, replication and web clustering software.

At launch, HybridCluster announced the completion of a $1 million funding round, led by Rackspace, Eden Ventures and others.

HybridCluster says its Super Dense Auto-scaling platform dynamically live-migrates other websites, applications, databases and mailboxes on a server to other servers in the cluster, rather than “strangling a site which is experiencing high traffic.”

The platform enables individual workloads to be scaled up to a dedicated machine and back down again automatically, while protecting other websites from being taken offline.

According to recent research by CA Technologies, the average North American company suffers at least 10 hours of IT downtime per year. Companies estimate that the ability to generate revenue is reduced by 29 percent when business critical systems are interrupted.

“In a multi-tenant environment it’s critical for a hosting company to maximise the number of workloads that are hosted on each server to reduce CAPEX and OPEX costs per customer,” Luke Marsden, HybridCluster’s CEO and founder said in a statement. “However unless you can provide auto-scaling then the risk is always that a single site that suddenly attracts significant traffic overloads the server causing all the sites to fail.”

“Cloud and web hosting is increasingly competitive and is being commoditised. These businesses find it difficult to justify the cost of infrastructure to provide adequate protection against spikes in demand,” Charles Grimsdale, HybridCluster investor and advisor, partner at Eden Ventures, and former CEO & founder of OD2 said in a statement. “HybridCluster’s super dense auto-scaling enables hosters to provide and charge for scaling the resources available to any website or application in response to spikes in traffic. And it combines this with the ability to dramatically improve the density of their hosting.”

HybridCluster 2.0 is available now to cloud and web hosting providers, who can sign up online or in-person at HostingCon 2013 in Austin this June.
