Benefits?

What are the benefits for a It Professional or a software developer using the My Own Cloud suite of Real Internet Solutions?

If you tune on a daily base  servers or beta testing your release 2.3.1 of your application software, you know what problems you experience using the actual systems!
The actual physical server systems are not  temporarely deployable, not very flexible in use, a huge upfront investment, not immediately usable, providing my application downtime when service is to be done, are not very secure and always result in overpricing when preparing quotes, and so on !

...as a developer

1. For demo and pricing purposes:

  •  use our flexible computing power to create a full proof on concept environment of your project, including all operational OS software  and monitoring tools
  • use our billing tools, based on the used credits to calculate your quota exactly without overload, your price will be beter then the one your competitor offers only based upon the scalability you offer !
  • setup a personalized demo, not only the header of your application, but also the servername, domainname and extension and convince your customer by showing that you practically build the solution even before he orders !

2. Setting up testing scenarios:

  •  use our flexible computing power to create a full proof on concept environment of your project, including all operational OS software and monitoring tools
  • Clone a existing proof of concept and customize from that point following the customers individual needs
  • easily switch between several stadnaard Proof of concepts and put the POC's idle when you do not need them - only pay for storage capacity at that time
  • delete your datacenter resources after testing or trouble shooting (servers, storage) and reuse the same computing power and storage capacity over and over again.
  • No longer spend your money on local test infrastructure, use your private vritual cloud environment to test your work and software!
    • setup live virtual dedicated servers, data storage (fast and slow) and bandwitdth in no time
    • archive entire virtual private datacenters when you finished your active tsting
    • clone your environments 
    • test application software easily on other windows OS versions, linus or Solaris platforms and only pay for the resources during testing ...
    • reuse the same test resources and capacity over and over again - keep your basic credits to create a new setup
    • emulate and thus test large environments without huge upfront investments in infrastructure before you go !

3. Offering disaster / recovery services:

  •  use our flexible computing power to create a full proof on concept environment of your project, including all operational OS software and monitoring tools
  • Clone a existing proof of concept and customize from that point following the customers individual needs
  • easily switch between several standard Proof of concepts and put the POC's idle when you do not need them - only pay for storage capacity at that time
  • delete your datacenter resources after testing or trouble shooting (servers, storage) and reuse the same computing power and storage capacity over and over again.
  • No longer spend your money on local test infrastructure, use your private vritual cloud environment to test your work and software!
    • setup live virtual dedicated servers, data storage (fast and slow) and bandwitdth in no time
    • archive entire virtual private datacenters when you finished your active tsting
    • clone your environments 
    • test application software easily on other windows OS versions, linux or Solaris platforms and only pay for the resources during testing ...
    • reuse the same test resources and capacity over and over again - keep your basic credits to create a new setup
    • emulate and thus test large environments without huge upfront investments in infrastructure before you go !

4. Off load peaking and backup sites

  • why would you invest in a second, third or forth server running along in your round robin system for only 5% of the peak time that is needed ?
  • use your private datacenter cloud to offload these peaks !
  • bring live the processing power required on demand
  • scale easily your virtual server architecture
  • increase peak capacity by cloning servers or entire virtula datacenters by a few mouse clicks or a API macro


5. fast Web 2.0 deployment

  • use our preformatted virtual appliances to easily deploy web2.0 servers
  • use our automated OsComerce API to offer the same flexibility to your customers
  • focus on your core productn ad let us handle the infrastructure provisionning

 

... as a IT Professional

1. Flexible resource deployment:

  • no hardware need to be ordered and installed, you can setup for example a W2008 webserver, a W2008 SQL server and a layer 4 NAT firewall in 15 minutes, not days and weeks like traditionally.
  • flexible deployment means easy extendible extra memory, disk capacity or bandwitdh, not require any downtime for your server environment
  • buy processing credits, storage credits and network credits and start deploying a dozen of pre-formatted images ...

2. Building Scalable server platforms:

  • do not bother the question number one at the verry start of a project anymore : how should i dimension my server, leaving me plenty of overhead to spend when the projects starts to attract visitors ... how should i project the growth over the next 2 years, i need the server now, but i'am still in staging phase, it costs me a lot of money from the beginning on ...
  • add servers to your application farm as your project grows
  • secure your application by running it on a dedicated virtual environment and be shure that growing needs of your customers will never be a problem for your hosted environment, because you pay as you grow !


3. No Cure, No Pay - Pay as you grow licenses:

  • pay only for the OS licenses, the exchange mapi seats, the sql instances ... you need
  • you do not buy the software, you hire the software, with Software assurance ! That means if you feel upgrading from W2003 to W2008 for example, the monthly My Own DC License covers the upgrade as well, monthly payments continue...

In short, stop big upfront investments (Capex) and leverage your resources by calculating only the Operational costs (Opex) on a monthly base.
