Cloud Computing Without Limitations
PrivateScale and CloudBurst provide all the building blocks of a robust, cost-efficient, and instantly scalable datacenter, so you don't have to spend excessive time, headaches, and hundreds of thousands of dollars to build an infrastructure that may not meet your needs six months down the road.
While PrivateScale runs on dedicated servers, and CloudBurst offers compute capacity by the half-CPU, our two products share the same expertly designed core infrastructure.
The Backbone of PrivateScale & CloudBurst
- Globally Located Datacenters A datacenter on each coast and one coming soon to Europe.
- Customer-deployed Servers The newest, most up-to-date Dell servers minus the worry of depreciation, obsolescence, replacement, or maintenance. Deployable instantly via our easy-to-use APIs.
- Virtualized Computing Virtualization can save capital investment, space, power, cooling, and maintenance staff, but it's very complicated to configure. With AppNexus, simply launch instances with the OS of your choice, add more whenever you need them, and turn them off when you're done. We currently use Xen hypervisor virtualization software.
- Network Attached Storage Highly scalable Isilon Storage units with customizibile mirroring and 300MB/s throughput are housed locally in our datacenters. You can mount your storage volume directly on your instance.
The Heart of PrivateScale & CloudBurst
- Transparency Our mission is complete transparency, both in how we build and manage our cloud and how you control it. See our wiki for a description of our network architecture, hosting facilities, equipment specifications, and more.
- Responsiveness We're here to listen to you. We develop our product innovations in response to what we hear from customers. If we don't have a feature you need, ask us; we may be able to provide it.
- Infrastructure Safeguards We use redundant power and network feeds and tier 1 networking with redundant GlobalX and Level3 bandwidth. We also use Juniper border routers and Cisco switches to provide high reliability.
- Service Level Agreement Our SLA includes continual monitoring of the core network to ensure constant uptime for you and your customers.
- 24/7 Emergency Support Our emergency phone rings to a network operations person at all times.
AppNexus Ecosystem
We built the AppNexus cloud as an ecosystem in which companies can collaborate and share industry-specific information without the latency, bandwidth, and security issues of the public Internet. Leading software and hardware companies can also offer their products on-demand inside the cloud.
