Cloud Computing is a computing paradigm in which dynamically scalable hosting infrastructure (servers, bandwidth, firewalls ..) is provided to customers as a service. The idea behind cloud hosting is to give customers a resource that is highly scalable, reliable and available. For example, a particular website which consists of two servers may require an additional two other servers to handle the load of a new product launch in a particular month. Cloud Computing is perfect for such a website as one can purchase cpu, ram and other resources equivalent to an additional two servers for the month of the product launch.
Cloud Computing offers the SME the availability of enterprise class infrastructure (Server Clusters, Blades, Routers, SANs, Firewalls etc) without the need to actually invest in the required capital expenditure. You pay only for the additional resources when you need it. This reduces your total operational cost and allows you to squeeze savings out of your IT Budget. You save on IT manpower too - there is no need to invest in costly man power to maintain and manage otherwise expensive setup of of servers, blades and other capital equipment.
Cloud Computing Benefits:
- Since you can scale dynamically, you pay only for the additional resources as and when you need it.
- Lowers Total Cost of Ownership
- Easy availability of enterprise class managed hosting services without having to pay for the full infrastructure.
- No need to invest in IT personnel to maintain a full set of IT infrastructure
The Webvisions Cloud is an infrastructure consisting of enterprise class hardware and software running together to provide itself as a service to our customers. We utilize VMware's ESX Virtual Infrastructure to deliver cost-effective, reliable & scalable Virtual Machines. A Virtual Machine is a server dedicated to a customer carved out from a cluster of blades or high performance servers. All Virtual Machines will connect to our fault tolerant Cisco Gigabit network to deliver outstanding uptimes. Virtual Machines also have plug and play access to a multitude of services including our Virtualized SAN storage, Backup Servers, Virtualized Firewalls, Virtualized Load Balancers as well as a whole suite of Managed Hosting Services backed by Webvisions' Team of engineers.
To take it a notch higher, Webvisions Cloud Computing solution comes optional with a fully redundant, High Availability (HA) setup. This solution is designed with VMware HA and VMware Vmotion technologies, clustered blades or high performance servers and a high speed Virtualized SAN. If any server fails, all virtual machines running on a failed server automatically restart on another server within the same cluster with NO changes to your applications or databases!
