Customers have an opportunity to independently create and clone virtual machines, to change their configuration, to manage a configuration of network, to install OS, applications, to publish them in the Internet, etc.

Within this service customers do not need to create own infrastructure of DPC and to purchase the equipment. All necessary equipment and software, including their administration and service maintenance is provided "on a turn-key basis" on model of functional outsourcing.

Based on cloud virtual infrastructure can be placed as small projects (for example, online store, the virtual PBX), and entirely IT infrastructure of the company from 100 and more people

2013: A cloud data processing center based on Linxdatacenter in St. Petersburg

The company IT Grad запустила since the beginning of 2013 a cloud data processing center based on Linxdatacenter in St. Petersburg, receiving the sufficient potential for further development both on the area, and on power. On the basis of new "cloud" together with Linxdatacenter IT Grad plans promotion of services of IaaS ("Infrastructure as service").

"Joint promotion of service of IaaS will help us to accelerate promoting of cloud solutions in the territory of the Russian Federation — the CEO IT Grad Дмитрий Gachko said. — The existing data center ceased to satisfy to our requirements on expansion, both regarding the areas, and regarding increase in energy consumption. We selected Linxdatacenter as the modern DPC in St. Petersburg constructed according to TIA-942 standard with the level of reliability of Tier 3. Besides, Linxdatacenter — the first in area and capacities data center in St. Petersburg that corresponds to our plans for dynamics of further growth".

The core of the virtual infrastructure offered in Russia is implemented based on modern hi-end of solutions (production of Netapp, VMware, Juniper, etc.). At design of architecture of "cloud" long-term experience IT Grad по creation and operation of private and public "clouds" is used and, at the same time, required reliability and safety of the solution thanks to infrastructure of DPC and telecommunication network Linxdatacenter is ensured.

In general based on the protected DPC of Linxdatacenter, Linxtelecom network and cloud infrastructure IT Grad clients of the companies will be able to receive the advanced cloud solutions different: high performance and scalability of infrastructure; the integrated data protection; high level of automation; a possibility of creation of backup copies of data on remote platforms in Russia and abroad; transparency of transfer of applications and data within infrastructure.

"The cloud data processing center allows to offer clients new generation of cloud computing. In particular, clients will be able to operate not only with the amount of disk space, but also characteristics of performance of DWH depending on the required number of IOPS. So, capacities of the new DWH put into operation allow to provide to certain clients tens of thousands of transactions of input-output per second" — noted in Linxdatacenter.

Thus, purchasing cloud solutions of LinxCloud, the client will be able to optimize IT resources and to provide their mobility, to reduce costs and to optimize capital investments into IT, to receive flexibility and scalability of IT and also security accreditation of data, including at the level of remote platforms.

As explained in the company, the virtual data center (vDC) is completely isolated and autonomous infrastructure allowing the client to create and clone independently virtual machines, to change their configuration, to manage a configuration of network, to publish supplements on the Internet (using a personal program firewall). Control of cloud resources is exercised via the developed web interface.

Migration of client virtual machines in new DPC is made for the vast majority of clients is transparent, in real time and without service idle time, claim in Linxdatacenter. It is reached by use of technologies of virtualization of VMware based on which virtual infrastructure is implemented.
