2012: Features and Benefits

According to June 2012, SCloud is a service for renting computing power to create an infrastructure of any complexity for any business in the cloud (IaaS). The high performance of virtual machines works for business, and the power can be adjusted either manually or automatically.

Cloudy hosting, compared to the content of its own corporate or dedicated servers, is not limited in its capabilities during peak loads, and does not require constant monitoring by company specialists. The SCloud-based enterprise server will serve Softline in 24/7 mode with its own monitoring systems.

• the ability to connect additional IP addresses, a load balancer between virtual machines, or create a high-availability cluster and a link with guaranteed bandwidth.
• Detailed cost control
• Easy use through the control panel and program interface API
• High security through clustering and data mirroring, virtual networking for each client (VLAN), backup, and the ability to configure a high-availability cluster in minutes via a web-based SCloud interface with different load balancing algorithms
