Transition to a new technology stack and scaling of the Clouds resources are dictated by the growing demand from the existing and new customers and executed in a full compliance with the strategy of development of cloud business De Novo for 2012-2016.

"Moves development of Cloud of De Novo our key principle — we should advance expectations of users. Cloud clients of De Novone just receive adequate service, and get on 'the territory of consumer hobby' — Ageev Maxim, the CEO of De Novo told. — So, based on questioning, one and all companies using cloud services of De Novo estimated them as the highly effective tool of the solution of business challenges. Nearly a half (46%) of our clients note that the capacity of virtual machines is higher than their expectations. And the new technology stack of VMware vCloud 5.1 will allow to improve our services by two parameters for which assessment of satisfaction was still in a border area. First of all, in a new stack abilities to manage are considerably expanded by network landscapes; secondly, we increased comfort of management of virtual data centers".

According to De Novo, in a new stack the new class of service Platinum which guarantees 100% reservation of the resources selected to virtual data center and gives to the client complete freedom in their distribution between virtual machines became available.

The network concept of Cloud is cardinally processed. Now clients can independently implement any network topology, use loadbalancer and enhanced capabilities of NAT and firewall — Gennady Karpov, the director of De Novo technologies characterizes new opportunities of Cloud. — Other pleasant news to IT services — in a new stack administration of virtual machines is even more convenient now. In particular, there were instant pictures (snapshots), work with different types of disks (storagetier) is simplified, and to change type, the volume or quantity of disks it is possible at any time even without switching off of VM".
