Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Build an in-house IaaS platform with Your Cloud Platform.

Infrastructure as a Service is exactly as it reads, you provide your customers with compute resource, CPU, Memory, Disk Space, Virtual Machines and Virtual Firewalls. They pay per Gb of Ram and Gb of Disk space and in return you maintain the underlying infrastructure.

With the IaaS products you supply from YourCloudPlatform, you provide the hosted infrastructure and your customer builds their own network of servers, switches, firewalls etc and you maintain the underlying hardware, virtualisation software, data centre and network infrastructure.

The Infrastructure as a Service solution best suits your customers who have an internal IT department who want to manage their own servers, operating systems and applications but would rather avoid the capital expense of purchasing new equipment or do not want the maintenance challenges of supporting the hardware and virtualisation technology behind the platform.

The advanced control panel included in the Virtualisation Technology of YourCloudPlatform allows you to roll out to your customers full control of a private cloud that they can do anything in (within reason), build new servers, image, copy and deploy replica servers for testing, deploy new networks, setup inter-company security protocols, set up separated networks, manage backups, the possibilities are endless.

Virtualisation technology that provides Infrastructure as a Service on YourCloudPlatform

The Virtualisation Technology behind YourCloudPlatform has won multiple internationally recognised awards and has been developed with Cloud Service providers in mind. Everything about the virtualisation technology is designed to make life easy for cloud service providers to build, deploy, manage and bill for IaaS.

What’s more like every element of YourCloudPlatform you as the service provider will own the licensing for the product and can adapt it to suit your business needs. However, it comes with standard features which will help you sell Infrastructure as a Service out of the box.

State of the Art control features – YourCloudPlatform’s virtualisation software includes an easy to use control panel that allows cloud service providers to create technical IaaS solutions for their customers. The control panel allows you can create new customer networks in seconds and build virtual machines in minutes, you can then allocate resource levels to customers IaaS accounts and manage those resources on the fly allowing for allocations of CPU, RAM and disk space.

Customer IT staff self-service – Your customers IT department can have full or limited access to the full features of the control panel for them to access to their virtual network and the servers within it. They can then create new servers, increase resource allocation and even build new networks themselves.

Retrospective utility billing – The YourCloudPlatform virtualisation software has an advanced billing system built in as standard. This monitors the resource usage of your IaaS customers and provides a report to your accounts department at predefined times allowing you to bill accurately for the CPU, Memory, Disk space and Virtual Machines your customers are using without needing to sell your customer new resource via their account manager.

Simple deployment solutions - YourCloudPlatform’s cloud enabled virtualisation software is written with the service provider in mind. The software comes pre-populated with a number of industry standard template images for hosted virtual servers, network setups, standard firewall deployment and many more features making the creation of new features in your customers IaaS environment a simple case of point and click. This functionality is available to you as the service provider or your customer.

Enterprise class resilience – Most of your customer will find building the inherent resilience of YourCloudPlatform technically unachievable and cost prohibitive to their businesses. The Infrastructure as a Service you provide them has enterprise class resilience through the virtualisation software used and in the event of hardware failure any IaaS setup your customers have deployed will simply move to a working hardware host, this happen automatically with little or no effect to service for the customer.

YourCloudPlatform supplies hardware options using enterprise class hardware, however in the event of failure you have peace of mind that the virtualisation technology will maintain service for your customer and you will not break your SLA.
