Uptime assurance for Clouds

The Infrastructure You Need to Keep Clouds Up

Uptime. Performance. Security. These are essential for IT services that perform real-time transactions, data management, and collaborative efforts across private cloud networks.

Server Virtualization and Cloud Computing: Four Hidden Impacts on Uptime and Availability

Cloud computing allows companies to use IT resources as a service, taking advantage of shared applications, processing and storage managed within the cloud — either inside a private cloud at an internal data center, or in an external cloud at a service provider. Greater robustness of the virtualized servers supporting this new IT model will ensure a resilient cloud infrastructure capable of delivering “on-demand” access to users.
