Focus on serving your customers instead of keeping servers running.
Cloud computing is quickly gaining acceptance with many companies looking to
outsource their IT services, software applications, and data storage. Cloud
based services allow companies to pay for only the resources they use, does not
require extensive capital to get started, and frees up resources to focus
on core business activities rather than technology. Whether private cloud
computing solutions for systems that have specific data regulations and
compliancy issues or for your public website, CeraNet can help your
organization develop a cloud computing platform that allows you to focus on
serving your customers rather than infrastructure, networking, and servers.
Cloud computing is quick and cost effective.
Businesses are under constant pressure to provide economical 'just-in-time'
solutions for clients with different needs and expectations. These
businesses in turn require their IT staff (or vendor if it is outsourced) to
facilitate just-in-time technology solutions that are secure
and cost effective. Cloud based solutions provide the opportunity to
expand or contract computing power, storage, and therefore relative cost with
little to no advance notice.
Public vs. Private Cloud Computing Solutions
Public -
Most of the cloud computing solutions available today are public. They are
referred to as 'public' because they share the same physical servers, data storage units, etc.
with many other customers. This is the most
economical way of building a cloud solution, since you can allocate small pieces
(and therefore costs) of a system to each individual client. Public clouds
are ideal for small to mid sized businesses searching for low cost, pay as
you go solutions for web hosting, file services, backup storage, and email
hosting.
However, there are several issues with a public system, such as: one security issue could lead to all customers using the
system having security problems, one customer can potentially bring down the
system for all the rest of the customers, many public cloud solutions are not complaint
with HIPAA, PCI, or other regulatory standards, and processing power/memory/storage
are limited by the physical limitations of the servers providing the cloud.
Our Cloud servers are priced based on $25 per unit. A unit is 1 processor,
1gb of ram, 50gb of storage and includes 1tb of transfer.
Example: you need a server with 2 processors, 4gb of memory, and 100gb of
storage...
2 x $25 for 2 processors
4 x $25 for 4gb of memory
2 x $25 for 100gb of storage
The total would be $200 per month.

Private -
There are few providers with the resources to offer private cloud systems.
Private cloud solutions require considerable investment and flexibility from the
service provider, as well as extensive knowledge and support services.
Private cloud systems provide similar benefits as a public cloud system with the
addition of significant enhancements for security. The main difference is
that the service is run on an independent network segment with strict access
limitations using firewalls, virtual private network software and hardware, and
other similar services. Private clouds enable businesses to have scalable,
flexible, secure, and economic solutions.
CeraNet provides the infrastructure, hardware, software,
and on-going support for both public and private cloud systems. Tell us
your requirements and we can send you a quote for the service.
