(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Cloud security provider Gazzang has joined Amazon Web Services service provider partner program, according to an announcement made by the company on Thursday.
This announcement comes less than a month after Gazzang named Dustin Kirkland its chief architect.
Gazzang says this will provide Amazon customers with the ability to improve security through an encryption platform for data protection, access control and key management.
In 2011, Gazzang partnered with web hosting providers . It also added support for the CloudLinux platform to its ezNcrypt data security solution. Gazzang improves the stability of shared hosting and multi-tenant environments.
The AWS solution provider program will help Gazzang broaden its suite of offerings and expand its customer base while driving new revenue streams, according to the press release.
"Gazzang products have been built in the cloud for customers who require extreme scalability and rapid deployment of cloud services," Larry Warnock, CEO at Gazzang said in a statement. "Our on-demand, high-performance cloud security model puts the power of encryption, access control and key management services within reach for thousands of Amazon customers. We are excited to be working together with the AWS team and look forward to bringing a rich portfolio of new cloud data security services to market."
Gazzang says its ezNcrypt Flex Platform helps customers protect, encrypt and provide key management for open source databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Cassandra, and web servers like Apache, Nginx and Tomcat. ezNcrypt for Databases is a security application for LinuxOS that includes preconfigured rules, while ezNcrypt Flex allows custom rules.
The ezNcrypt platform installs in minutes and allows customers to create, control and administer their own keys - a feature usually exclusive to more expensive databases, according to the press release.
