Datacenter As A Service : Private Cloud

Introduction

Do you want all the advantages of cloud computing such as scalability, flexibility and efficiency but do you require your IT infrastructure to be dedicated and securely hosted?

In this section you will get an overview of all the benefits of the DAAS dedicated private cloud solution that allow ISVs and SAAS Providers to focus on their core competences and grow their infrastructure as they need it.

Dedicated hardware

Each DAAS private cloud is build up using dedicated components such as the cloud base or advanced units and the cloud store units. These physical resources are not shared between multiple clients as is traditional in cloud hosting. As a result, the DAAS cloud computing solution offers its clients improved security and performance compared to public cloud offerings.

Security

The DAAS cloud offers the same levels of security and encryption as you would expect in a dedicated environment.

The hardware is not shared between multiple clients ensuring the same physical boundary found in today's dedicated hosting solutions.

Performance

The DAAS cloud offers the same performance as dedicated servers but within a cloud environment. One of the traits of large public clouds is the degraded level of performance when neighboring servers on the same hardware are taking up all the CPU or networking resources.

When using your own dedicated DAAS cloud , you have complete control over capacity with the ability to migrate busy servers when required.

Scale as you grow

The DAAS modular system allows you to add dedicated capacity including CPU, system memory and storage to your existing cloud. This system offers :

Infinite scalability - Scale as you grow within the same system
On-demand scalability - Only scale up when you require more resources
Immediate infrastructure - Start using new resources right away

Rapid Deployment

The DAAS solution allows you to bring live additional servers within minutes for maximal efficiency. By removing the need to rack up servers, install and configure OS and application , you can concentrate on your core business.

Golden Images

The use of a “golden image” allows you to define a template machine that you can use to quickly build new servers or desktops. For example you could have a standard application server ready; no additional software needs to be installed after deployment. This will not only save a lot of time in creating new instances, but will also allow you to cut back on storage costs..

Thin Provisioning

Our advanced cloning technology allows you to bring live additional instances of one golden image without consuming additional storage. We will only store differences compared to the original.

This will not only optimize your storage usage but will also allow for more efficient caching of blocks on our Solid State Disks (SSDs) and thus greatly improve the performance and scalability of your cloud.

On-demand Scaling

You can scale your servers as demand grows. With just a few clicks and a reboot, you have immediate access to increased storage and RAM or access to additional CPUs. This process avoids having to experience lengthy downtime while a server is taken from the rack, opened up, additional RAM is added or a hard drive replaced.

Datacenters in US, UK and EU

The DAAS cloud is offered from several high availability and carefully audited datacenters around on the world. This ensures that our clients can comply with legal requirements, such as data retention within the countries boundaries, as well as providing high speed services sensitive to latency.

High availability setup

Using an unbreakable storage solution in conjunction with built-in automated fail-over capabilities, the DAAS cloud solution is able to offer incomparable uptime to your applications.

You can read more about our Unbreakable setup in the dedicated section.

24/7 Monitoring & support

Every cloud unit is continuously monitored and reports are sent back to a central Network Operations Center (NOC). This NOC is available 24x7 for troubleshooting and support should an issue occur.

You can read more about monitoring in our technology section.
