Cloudserve provided all the hosted IT services we needed to replace our old Microsoft Small Business Server. It worked out much more cost effective than buying a new server and it's great to know that our ability to do business is no longer reliant on a single piece of computer equipment.

Cloudserve Technologies
Cloudserve's cloud computing
platform is built to offer a wide range of hosted business
services. To deliver these services to a guaranteed availability of
99.99%, an infrastructure which is versatile, scalable and higly
resilient is required. To best explain the platform, we have a
diagram of the layers involved.
Technologies Utilised
Cloudserve utilises products and
services from , Microsoft, Redhat, Parallels, VMware,
Quest, Citrix, Leostream, HP, Cisco, Intel and Juniper and
Thinkgrid. In terms of software and applications we can provide any
mix for customers and partners.
Multi-Tiered
Our platform allows the setup of
roles and users within the management interfaces, both for admin
management and also for users of services, giving our partners and
customers the freedom to design how and what their users can
interact with. The platform also allows partners to support their
own resellers, so that discounts and consolidated billing can be
used.
Points of Presence
To truly support cloud computing,
services must be delivered with low latency and, through
redundancy, must be able to withstand outages. Cloudserve's s
modular deployment means we have numerous points of presence where
our customers and partners can choose services to be delivered
from. Get the best experience, whether you are in London, New York
or Paris!
Currently we utilse oints of presence in:
•United Kingdom (x2)
•United States (x2)
•Canada (x1)
•Netherlands (x1)
Management Interface
Aconsolidated management interface
allows the provisioning, support and modification of services in
real-time. Backend management capabilities and a customer
self-service interface ensure efficient automation and management
of services.
Utility Billing
Create a single consolidated
invoice aggregating many different services. Construct plans, set
resource limits and upgrade limits. Allow customers to add
resources to a base plan. Define your own resources and upgrade
paths. Bill any type of product or service and set work flows to
accept online orders and invoice services that are delivered
manually (e.g. professional services). Receive automated payments
and input manual payments. Apply payments to customer invoices
automatically or manually.
APIs
Cloudserve utlises
powerful user interfaces to manage and provision services
into the cloud platform but, for those customers looking to
integrate an existing infrastructure or existing control
panel, Cloudserve provides an API (application
programming interface) to talk directly to some of the
systems we utlise via XML RPC.
Service APIs
The service API provides the
potentil to provision items such as Hosted Exchange, Dynamic
Servers or Desktops with remote calls. Provisioning, management and
other elements of the services can be done on the fly.
