"Cloud computing is moving from a new idea to the next big strategy for optimizing how IT is used"
– Gartner Research

Do Business Anywhere You Go

The Cloudium infrastructure allows you to access your applications from any broadband Internet connection.  Whether your application uses a character interface, a thin client or a browser interface, Cloudium can handle it. You can quickly adapt to changes in your IT requirements using a virtualized solution with an easy to use management interface.

Start Small. Grow Quickly

You can get started with a few virtual machines to test your application and evaluate its advantages. As you see the reduction in capital and operational expenses, Cloudium allows you to add more servers and resources when and where you need them. Application developers can define templates that allow new customers to be operational within minutes. Custom dedicated clouds with segregated resources are available for applications with special requirements.

VMware Virtualized

The Cloudium is virtualized by VMware, the global leader in virtual infrastructure software for industry-standard systems. The world's largest companies use VMware solutions to simplify their IT, fully leverage their existing computing investments and respond faster to changing business demands.

Fixed monthly pricing

Some cloud service providers expect you to pay for each minute you use their resources or each contact with their support staff. That “utility billing” scheme involves variable monthly costs that are difficult to budget. Cloudium accounts are billed fixed monthly fees according to the resources you contract. Our pricing structure is centered on our customers, not our accountants.

Disaster Recovery

When an in-house deployment is the primary IT solution, Cloudium can serve as a cost effective disaster recovery alternative. By virtualizing your in-house infrastructure and periodically replicating it to the cloud, you can have standby resources to maintain business continuity if your in-house infrastructure is not available.

Partnering Opportunities

Cloudium offers developers assistance for migrating existing installations to the cloud to ensure a successful implementation without a steep learning curve. Our partners can extend their current offerings by offering Cloudium deployment alternatives under attractive terms.

Development and Datacenter Experience

The Cloudium staff comes from ESS, a distributor of development tools since 1987, and PRW.NET, a service provider since 1998. Our experience working with developers allows us to properly support the successful deployment of your applications in the cloud. Our experience with application hosting and datacenters enables us to offer you a reliable, cost effective and well supported infrastructure deployed on SAS 70 Type II certified datacenters.  By combining premium low-latency connectivity, high security, redundant power and constant 24/7 monitoring we can offer very competitive service level agreements.
