What benefits should my business expect?


1. Save on costs  Reduce capital expenditure: Reducing capital expenditure means you’ll have more working capital available for other business operations.

 Reduce administration costs: By moving IT infrastructure components to the cloud, businesses can virtually eliminate in-house IT administration costs.


2. Get there faster ď‚— Speed of deployment: No need to purchase expensive hardware, software. Installation in minutes

ď‚— Level the playing field: Small to medium-sized businesses can take advantage of latest technologies.


3. Flexibility ď‚— Scalability: Self-service capabilities allow business administrators to instantly scale up or down rapidly, so that you never have to over provision again. ď‚— No long-term contracts: Customers simply pay month by month for exactly what they use.


What’s powering our Cloud?


Enterprise Physical Servers  Redundant Network Cards  Dual power supply units  Enhanced Virtualisation

 Energy-Tuned Technologies


Network Architecture ď‚— Redundant switching architecture: Every network switch within our cloud computing platform is redundant ď‚— Redundant IP connectivity: Our cloud platform is supplied by two diverse network connections from two separate core switches.


Fiber channel SAN Storage ď‚— RAID 10 Storage: Our SAN storage volumes are configured as RAID 10 volumes. RAID 10 combine the benefits of both disk striping and mirroring.
