OUR ENTERPRISE-CLASS
Infrastructure as a Service
Powered by VMware and our own underlying infrastructure at its core, our Cloud / IaaS platform represents one of the most powerful solutions available today. When it comes to our infrastructure we don't skimp out on anything. Everything is Enterprise-Grade!
Move to the Cloud with Confidence
We are committed to driving your organization's digital transformation by enabling you to seamlessly run, manage, connect and secure applications across private and public clouds in a common operating environment. The VMware Cloud Verified badge provides assurance that our services are compatible with the VMware Cloud Infrastructure.
Intel Xeon Processors
Intel is a trusted workhorse of the enterprise. In current iteration of our infrastructure (Gen2) we utilize Intel Xeon 6246 CPUs, clocked at 3.3GHz per core, w/ max turbo freq. of 4.2GHz.
Abundance of Compute
Each one of our clusters consists of 8 compute blades. In total, 8TB of DDR4 (2933MHz) ECC RAM; 192 physical cores (384 hyper-threaded); and 1.6Tbps of backbone network capacity per cluster.
All-Flash NVMe SSD Arrays
Our client's data is securely stored on redundant HP Alletra 6500 Series All-Flash NVMe storage arrays based on Nimble Storage technology and backed by guaranteed 99.9999% reliability.
Extreme Networks VDX-Fabric
We do not use spine-and-leaf architecture, but rather giant, highly redundant Extreme Networks powered Fabric. We have trusted Extreme Networks since the Brocade days.
Dedicated Storage Fabric
We run storage on its own separate network fabric. The result is increased performance and decreased need to touch the configuration, minimizing chance of human-caused downtime.
Fast VM-to-VM transfer
Client vDCs are connected to the Network Fabric via multiple 100Gbit uplinks (4 per host). As such, VMs within a vDC can transfer data between each other at up to 100Gbit/sec.
VMware NSX / SDN
VMware's NSX solution is deployed on all of our clusters. Clients who wish to use Software Defined Networking can manage their entire network (routing, FW & LBs) with a click of a mouse.
50% MAX Utilization Promise
We do not believe in over-provisioning. All of our infrastructure resources are NEVER at more than 50% of capacity. The moment that threshold is reached, we add more resources.
Guaranteed Refresh Cycle
Our infrastructure is always evolving. We guarantee a 3-year refresh cycle on all underlying hardware, and we continuously perform scheduled, zero-impact, maintenance and updates.
NO CRYPTIC TIERS OR PRE-DEFINE TYPES
#Right-Size-IT
As we use only top-of-the-line hardware and we never over-provision our resources in any way, we effectively offer a single tier of compute resources. It is a true Enterprise Tier optimized for Enterprise Business Workloads.
No mater if you are deploying a tiny Linux web server, with 512MB of RAM and 1 vCPU, or a monster-sized Microsoft SQL/Oracle Database with 32 vCPUs and 768GB of RAM - each and every machine is guaranteed the resources allocated, and with All-Flash NVMe SSD storage, Intel Xeon 6246 Gold CPUs and 1.6Tbit of network back-bone behind it all, we are able to actually deliver Compute, Storage & Network performance your workloads require.
BRING YOUR OWN
VIRTUAL FIREWALL
By default, our vDCs come with VMware NSX Edge Software Defined Networking (SDN) Solution. NSX enables the creation of entire networks in software and embeds them in the hypervisor layer, abstracted from the underlying physical hardware. All network components (subnets, firewall rules, NATs, load balancers, VPNs, Tunnels, etc.) can be provisioned in minutes, with a click of a button.
While we believe it is the best, fastest, and easiest-to-use solution out there, we're not making it the only one. If your team already has a trusted network solution: Palo Alto Networks, VyOS, Juniper's Junos Space, pfSense, or any other as long as it comes in form of a Virtual Appliance (VM) or can be installed on a virtual machine, you are free to use it instead. Of course, should you wish to use your own physical firewall, we do offer colocation services as well.
Templates for most solutions are available in our Public Catalogs, with a BYOL (Bring Your Own License) model, or, as is case with Palo Alto Networks with whom we are partnered, you can obtain a 1-year or 3-year license through us at very affordable rates (~$300/month fully licensed with all features).
As always, at Cloud Propeller, there is no lock-in. Your VMs are exportable in the open standards format (OVF) if you decide
you rather move elsewhere, though we cannot come up with a valid reason as to why anyone would ever want to leave. After all, even after 9 years, we still have a 100% client retention rate
