Public Cloud
Looking for a Public Cloud Server Solution Offering High Performance, Security and Availability?
Access Point Communications offer many Hosted Solutions Public Cloud services, a cloud server computing solution built on a massively scalable, multi-tenant infrastructure, providing you with access to a secure, enterprise-class cloud environment that features built-in high availability and automated resource balancing.
Our public version of the Cloud delivers resources, applications, even servers, when and where they're needed. Instead of buying costly, cumbersome individual servers, you'll have access to our state-of-the-art infrastructure, powered from our enterprise-class data centers, for processing, storage, networking and security, which allows you to deploy infrastructure capacity on demand.
Private Cloud
The Compliant Cloud Has Arrived with the Private Cloud Computing Solution.
Hosted Solutions's Private Cloud is a cloud computing solution built on fully dedicated (not shared or multi-tenant) infrastructure powered out of our state-of-the-art data centers. The private version of a Cloud is the ideal solution for businesses that have heavy regulatory compliance requirements in place. With Private Cloud, you can take advantage of the benefits of virtualization, like improved utilization and performance, but in a more secure, dedicated environment that still meets your compliance requirements.
The private cloud computing option is based on VMware. The platform allows one or more physical servers to be partitioned into multiple self-contained virtual machines, each with its own operating system and its own set of applications to meet your needs.
Hybrid Cloud
Hybrid Cloud Offers the Best of Both Worlds.
The Access Point Communications Hosted Solutions Hybrid Cloud is a cloud computing solution that essentially blends and maximizes the best of a multi-tenant cloud and a dedicated environment or colocation environment. With our hybrid cloud, you can cross-connect existing back-end resources such as databases and other supporting applications to the cloud, providing you with greater flexibility.
The hybrid cloud option allows you to leverage a Cloud for web front-end computing power and other resources like network, firewall, load balancing and web servers. In addition, you can cross connect cloud computing resources directly into your environment to handle overflow situations such as seasonal spikes that require excess compute capacity.
The result is a single, more versatile environment powered out of our enterprise-class data center. Hybrid Cloud is the best fit for businesses with regulatory compliance or other requirements for which they don't want to run their whole application environment in the cloud (for instance, a database that has high throughput, low latency I/O requirements).
If you're interested in cloud but think it's not a fit because of compliance requirements or other application issues
