In readiness for the release of the new version 5.0 of its vBarter software that will add numerous new features and enhancements as well as sport a totally new design theme, VirtualBarter migrated its remaining servers onto the Cloud Computing infrastructure to further enhance performance and scalability.
Based on Xen Virtualization technology, Cloud Servers brings the power of the cloud to the traditional server-based hosting model, which enables VirtualBarter to provision a new server instance in minutes or upgrade a server automatically to satisfy increased demand.
Early comments from vBarter enabled exchanges about the new cloud servers are… “Wow! Today posting payments and transactions are lickety split. Keep up the good work!” and “We’re moving at warp speed now”
vBarter powered exchanges are looking forward to the new software release later this month, which in addition to numerous enhancements, enables barter exchanges to leverage VirtualBarter’s new SOAP API Server to provide them with the opportunity to deploy web services, as well as connect and integrate third party business and social networking websites and applications to their online barter exchange.
And, the new vBarter 5.0 page layout, marketplace and design theme, developed by vBarter’s award winning web designer, provides exchanges with new flexibility, enhanced content management, featured stories and a host of new controls.
