Why use a Cloud for IT Infrastructure?
Many IT organizations today still use a mix of non-virtualized servers and basic server virtualization, but the advantages of a real IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-service) cloud - weather public or private - are undisputed: increased utilization of expensive hardware resources, automated provisioning, configuration and scale-out of application environments instead of long waiting queues for system administrators to become available, better scalability, cost transparency and fair allocation of costs and a better fit for DevOps and agile development (Infrastructure-as-Code, on-demand environments):
Which infrastructure cloud options customers can choose from?
Customers can choose to use a public cloud, purchase hardware and implement their own private cloud, outsource the private cloud or use a managed service like ours:
Main Benefits
Infrastructure
Self-Service
Cloud users such as project teams, development teams or application support can manage their own application environments, which consist of virtual servers, virtual disks, virtual networks, virtual routers, load balancers, databases and so on.. This speeds up the infrastructure provisioning process by multiple times and reduces dependencies from system administrators and engineers and thus project risks and costs.
Resource Metering
and Cost Control
With resource metering, cost control, fair cost allocation and even billing for users such as projec teams, business units and departments can be implemented. ,
Tenant Isolation
and QoS
Isolate tenants (their environments) through policy-based allocation of resource quotas to avoid over-usage and prevent resource conflicts and side-effects spilling over between tenants. It is also possible to allocate mimum resource guarantees to tenants (e.g. IOPS/GB, Network Bandwidth).
High
Availability Options
We support high-availability on multiple layers of the private cloud stack: Hardware (redundant power supplies, ILO monitoring, redundant GbE adapters and ports, redundant switch ports and switches, redundant paths to storage, etc.), Hypervisors (bonding of network interfaces, etc.) and virtualization/cloud control and management planes (redundant cloud controllers, instance evacuation, etc.).
Low TCO Costs
The total cost of ownership (TCO) per resource unit (physical CPU core per Ghz, GB of RAM, K-IOPS, GB of Storage, Gb/s of network bandwidth, etc.) is several times lower than with other infrastructure cloud alternatives. See comparison.
Ready Blueprints
Ready blueprints allow fast and reliable deployment, integration and transition to a private cloud at a low risk. Blueprints are available for different sizes, scalability, performance and availability requirements,.
Ultra-High
Performance
Options
Our ultra-high IOPS storage system, large compute nodes (up to 96 physical cores) and high-performance networking options support most performance-critical applications and production use cases.
