I am an employee of iland and hope to update this article with additional citations to address the "issues flag." I'd like to request the following edits and have listed several citations for consideration - happy to put them in a template if they satisfy your requirements. Thank you.

2 last sentences of overview: iland has expanded its data center locations. Suggest the sentence read: Founded in 1995, iland provides its services from high availability hubs specifically designed for cloud infrastructure in Dallas, Boston, Los Angeles, Houston, Reston, London, Manchester and Singapore. External sources: VMware vCloud Network page- http://vcloudproviders.vmware.com/providers/iland-Internet-Solutions ComputerWorld Hong Kong - http://cw.com.hk/news/iland-expands-singapore-market-pacnet-data-center Cloud Computing Intelligence - http://cloudcomputingintelligence.com/item/1123-iland-expands-its-uk-operations-in-london-and-manchester

VMware changed the name of its partner program and iland is now part of the Cisco Cloud Managed Services Provider program. Suggest the sentence should be: iland is a Premier-level partner in the VMware vCloud Air Network and is a certified member of the Cisco Cloud and Managed Services program for both Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service. External sources: ChannelBiz: http://www.channelbiz.co.uk/2015/02/24/iland-gets-top-cisco-cloud-certification-services/ VMware: http://vcloudproviders.vmware.com/providers/iland-Internet-Solutions and http://partnerlocator.vmware.com/Partner_Locator_Detail?id=0018000000UG8qzAAD&keepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=420&width=700

Page Update[edit]

I am an iland employee, and a Wikipedia user and casual editor. I am going to begin updating this page to remove the biased and flowery language in the hopes that it can be more useful, more closely conform to Wikipedia standards, and the NPOV notice can be removed.

Input and feedback is invited.Damian (talk) 21:38, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You should read about conflict of interest, if you have not already done so. William Avery (talk) 13:12, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent point. Thanks! Damian (talk) 18:16, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In an effort to remove the citation notice, which claims need to be cited? Would this work as a source for the sentence explaining when the company was founded and the services offered: http://cloud-computing.ecommercetimes.com/l/157/iland-Cloud-Infrastructure ?
