New Euro Partnership offers safe-haven from US Patriot Act
Severalnines and City Network launch first fully European 'Database as a Service'
STOCKHOLM and LONDON, 23rd November -Severalnines, provider of automation and management software for cloud database platforms, and City Network, the 'data center in a browser' company have announced the first fully European Database as a Service (DBaaS) solution - in beta form. The City Cloud Database Service is based and operated by companies in the European Union - offering European customers full compliance with EU Directive on Data Protection 95/46/EC and a safe haven from the reaches of the US Patriot Act.
EU customers can now benefit from the savings and flexibility enabled by cloud-based database services safe in the knowledge that they will not fall under the jurisdiction of the Patriot Act. Under the Patriot Act, data from EU users of US-owned cloud-based services can currently be shared with US law enforcement agencies without the need to tell the user.
"Small start-ups and large corporations are turning to the cloud in a bid to deploy and manage databases with as little overhead as possible - but they need to know their data is secure and that they retain the right and ability to control who accesses it," says Vinay Joosery, chief executive officer at Severalnines.
"A fully managed database service will enable our customers to further reap the benefits of the cloud," says Johan Christenson, Chairman at City Network. "We believe that a service owned and operated locally in the EU, and fully compliant with EU data protection laws, will be very particularly attractive for European companies. US companies with European operations will also benefit from the lower latency of a locally hosted solution."
The MySQL based City Cloud Database Service enables companies to outsource the configuration and management of their databases and only pay for what they use. Specific benefits include:
• Web interface for easy provisioning
• Zero maintenance or administration – backups, patch management and replication handling are fully automated
• Performance Management – users have visibility of top queries and can drill-down into performance
• High Availability – failures are handled automatically to minimise downtime
• Scalability – users can add more instances at the click of a mouse
• Comprehensive user interface for administering databases; and
• Data import and export functionality to help move MySQL databases within the cloud.
The service relies on the Severalnines DataCloud platform, a database automation and management platform that helps companies run flexible databases anywhere, whether on their premises or in the cloud. It is based on City Network's City Cloud computing platform which allows unlimited growth with a focus on stability, security and redundancy.
City Cloud Database Service is available in beta. Companies can apply for the trial by emailing email@example.com. The service is available free of charge for the duration of the beta period, which will run until early 2012. More information is available on http://www.citycloud.eu/

text: Longtime Detroit weatherman Chuck Gaidica will step down as the director of meteorology at NBC affiliate WDIV-Channel 4 in August, according to a news release.Gaidica, who has worked at WDIV since 1987, will leave the station to join Novi's Oak Pointe Church as its pastor of world outreach, said the release. "It has been a long and exciting journey, but I know in my heart it's time to pull back on my TV duties so I can switch gears and answer my calling to the ministry," said Gaidica in the release. He will be replaced by Ben Bailey, a former meteorologist from Detroit FOX affiliate WJBK-TV2, who will join the station immediately. In his 27 years at WDIV, Gaidica was voted the top weathercaster in Detroit many years in a row by the Metro Times and Hour Detroit and filled in as a weathercaster on NBC's "Today" show. He became known for his cold weather "cuddle alerts," and began selling a line of related products on Cuddlealert.com in 2007. The site no longer sells the products, but has links to Amazon where his two books, "Cuddling is Like Chocolate" and "Tommy Starts Something Big," are sold. Beyond his work as a weatherman, Gaidica was among those who led the effort to create the Tipping Point Theatre in Northville in 2007. He remains chairman emeritus of the theater's board of directors, according to its website. www.tippingpointtheatre.com Gaidica will continue to contribute to special reports and big event coverage for WDIV even after he steps down in August, said the station news release.
