Sacramento, CA — June 23, 2009 — StrataScale, Inc., a subsidiary of RagingWire Enterprise Solutions, Inc., and the only managed hosting company that provides an Instant Physical InfrastructureTM with cloud capabilities, today announced that it has named Denoid Tucker vice president of technology. Mr. Tucker was formerly senior director of engineering at RagingWire and was the chief architect of StrataScale’s flagship service, IronScaleSM. IronScale is the first automated, fully managed server hosting service that enables customers to build, manage, and scale entire physical server environments in minutes from a secure Web portal. Building on more than 15 years experience in the IT industry, Mr. Tucker designed IronScale to save SMB and enterprise customers time, money, and improve operational efficiencies when developing and maintaining the bare metal servers that their businesses demand..
“Denoid is one of the most skilled and insightful engineers I know,” said Yatish Mishra, founder and chief technology officer of StrataScale. “He was not only instrumental in developing RagingWire into a world- class colocation and managed service provider, he also executed on the StrataScale vision to create automated provisioning and management of physical servers with cloud-like functionality in only eighteen months. In his new role, Denoid will create new features and services for IronScale, while ensuring that StrataScale always exceeds the dynamic needs and expectations of its customers.”
Mr. Tucker’s career has followed the evolution of the RagingWire datacenter from hosting facility for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and e-commerce customers to full-fledged IT infrastructure provider, with the addition of StrataScale as a subsidiary. His background in network systems architecture and deployment of large-scale IT environments has enabled Mr. Tucker to develop a unique understanding of how to scale IT infrastructure for SMBs and enterprise companies across industries with vastly different business models.
“When we started StrataScale, we took on the challenge of advancing the expectations for the IT hosting industry, aiming to make hosting service options as robust and efficient as possible,” said Mr. Tucker. “We are just beginning to tap into the promise of IronScale’s technology. I am thrilled to be able to drive the next phase of StrataScale solutions, and I am confident that we will convince people to think differently about IT, based on our uncompromising commitment to innovation.”
Prior to joining RagingWire in 2000, Mr. Tucker worked for Photronics, Inc., the industry leader in the design, development and production of reticles and photomasks for semiconductor and microelectronic applications. In various corporate management roles, he engineered enterprise-class IT systems and a global infrastructure that powered photo-masking processes for Motorola, AMD, and other semiconductor manufacturers.
A native of Los Angeles, Mr. Tucker studied computer science at California State University at Northridge, and in 1996 he joined CRL Networks in a senior systems administrator role. He subsequently served as a senior engineer for several leading ISPs prior to joining Photronics.
