Page Update
editI 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)

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 ?
