GoGrid at Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco

ServePath’s latest product, GoGrid, is starting to get some traction within the cloud and hosting arenas. With just over a month of being in public beta, GoGrid has sign-ups coming from all around the world. End users are understanding how easy it is to quickly create and deploy load-balanced Windows and Linux web, application and database servers through our innovated web-based graphical interface. Also, GoGrid was recently written up on bub.blicio.us as we announced our QuickStart Facebook Servers which enable Facebook developers to quickly get their Facebook applications onto the Facebook networks within minutes.

Today, as I was writing up about how GoGrid will be exhibiting at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, I noticed some truly great subliminal advertising. Many of you may be familiar with the GoGrid logo:

Well, you should pay particular attention to the “O” of “GO” since the artists at the Web 2.0 Expo believe that our iconography is particularly appealing to them and the Web 2.0 audience. The image below is from the Expo’s main page:

That being said, GoGrid should be of great interest to both those attending and exhibiting at the Web 2.0 Expo.

If you…

  • …have ever wondered how to get your application on the Facebook network quickly…
  • …need to rapidly scale a server environment…
  • …want a sandbox, QA or demo environment that you can turn on and off at will…
  • …are tired of paying for dedicated or shared hosting…
  • …want to deploy real Windows servers in minutes…
  • …are a LAMP or Ruby-on-Rails or Linux developer and a looking for a hosting provider…
  • …want to experience an extremely slick and elegant web-based UI used for deploying and load balancing servers…

…then you should definitely come by our table and/or give GoGrid a try!

Come visit us at Table 22 in the Long Tail Pavilion. Those who drop by will get some $$$ applicable towards a new GoGrid account.

Hope to see you there!
