"Like many of our innovative products, Cascade will undoubtedly play a significant role in our future growth. Cascade is a simple product that is added to on top of a dedicated server, yet offers advanced cloud hosting benefits. It's a simple concept, with a simple pricing model, which we feel is important in the cloud computing space," says Zak Boca.
