The Cloud

The promise of cloud seems as enticing as it is simple: turn on the tap and watch computer power and storage flow in. When used right, cloud solutions can lead to advantages including:

• Reduced need for extensive planning cycles
• Cost reductions for compute and storage intensive projects
• Lower investment in slack capacity for 364 days to be ready on your peak day

The reality is much more complex, with unexpected costs and risks. Let RampRate’s wealth of experience help ensure that your first deployment is a success:

• Identify the projects that have the right risk profile and design for cloud
• Compare true costs of internal solutions, managed hosting, virtualization / private cloud, public clouds like Amazon, Rackspace, Terremark, and advanced CDN solutions.
• Build the right forecast model to prevent budget overruns
• Negotiate a custom SLA with your vendor to ensure enterprise-scale protection

RampRate is ready help you build a safe, enterprise-grade migration path – whether you’re contemplating your first pilot project or are building on past successes.
