DigitalOcean continues to gain ground with its virtual private servers, droplets | #NXTWORK
by R. Danes | Nov 3, 2015
“DigitalOcean is the cloud built for developers by developers,” said Luca Salvatore, network engineering manager at DigitalOcean, Inc. Salvatore told Stu Miniman and John Furrier, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Juniper Networks NXTWORK 2015 that this is one reason for the company’s explosive growth over the past three years.
Since its founding, the New York City-based cloud hosting service has enjoyed a rapid advance to the fore of the cloud service market, said Salvatore. “We started in 2012 with just a few thousand [customers], hosting a few thousand droplets [DigitalOcean calls its virtual private servers droplets], and now we’re hosting hundreds of thousands of droplets,” he stated. “Going by Netcraft’s rankings, we’re the second biggest hosting provider in the world, and we’ve done that in three years, so it’s been amazing,” he said.
DevOps is making IT a richer, more exciting environment
Salvatore spoke about the excitement and possibilities that DevOps is bringing to IT and how that is playing out at DigitalOcean. When asked by Miniman what DevOps meant to him and his company, Salvatore replied, “To me it’s just everyone being able to write some form of code, whether it’s script … or even developing some type of application. And seeing that, the more people that are able to write code and come up with their own software — it makes the IT world a better place to work in because there’s all these new ideas and all these new applications.”
Salvatore went on to say that DigitalOcean’s Floating IP offering — an IP address that can float between two or more droplets — has been one of the company’s greatest developments thus far. He predicted that floating IP would continue to gain a lot of fans into 2016.
