FlexiScale is the brainchild of CEO Tony Lucas who founded XCalibre in 1997 when he was still at college. Always highly customer focused, the business was originally built on providing traditional hosting solutions to the business, home and reseller markets and now it services thousands of customers across the UK and Europe from its UK-based data centres.

If you want the full story behind FlexiScale you can read it in Tony's own words in our blog, or you can read the potted version here.

The idea for a flexible, scalable, automated hosting platform came to Tony in 2004 when some shared hosting customers were experiencing unusually high spikes of traffic that were causing their sites to fall over. What they really needed was a hosting platform that would allow them to flex their requirements up and down as frequently as they needed and only pay for the service that they actually used. Tony and the XCalibre team decided to create an infrastructure that would do all of that and the result is FlexiScale.

While the original thought behind FlexiScale was to build a 'utility hosting platform', the XCalibre team came to realise that it was capable of far more than just traditional hosting - it could also offer on-demand computing - so the end result is a revolutionary Cloud Computing infrastructure that will change the way you do IT.
