New Services from CloudSpace – Part 1
Enterprise Networks On-Demand
Enterprise networks on-demand is an innovative solution that offers a cost-effective approach to operating and managing networks. The feature has a unique set of benefits, including flexibility in network usage and management, better resource control, and reduced costs.
One of the key benefits of Enterprise Networks On-Demand (NOD or E-NOD) lies in the economics and logistics of separating network building from network operations. In the On-Demand service offering CloudSpace will build any size and complexity of network and turn it on when needed, and off when not in use. When the network resources are turned off, there is no charge for server resources, management, or security. Only network storage is charged in the down status to maintain operational data structures.
This approach to network management is cost-effective since businesses only pay for what they use when they use it. Additionally, the feature allows businesses to control their own resources from a web-based user interface, giving them better visibility and control over their network operational times. On-demand usage is automatically metered. CloudSpace charges on a fixed per hour basis and includes all network resources and IT labor to manage and secure the network including helpdesk.
The user admin process to bring the NOD up/down is simple and efficient. Businesses can turn on their networks from a secured personalized web portal with manual controls and a scheduler for any on-demand resource. Resource may be grouped together so they can be brought up or down simultaneously. This is especially useful when working on test environments, special projects, software development, or expensive advanced compute processes. This feature also means that businesses can build networks in advance for future use and not incur operating expense until the resources are in use.
Another advantage of NOD is the ability to have always-on and NOD capabilities mixed. For example, a business can have a base infrastructure and group of servers that are always on to facilitate business operations. And then have a group of servers that only need to be used for eight hours a day. The on-demand network for 8 hours /day costs about 60% less than the same resources in an always-on configuration.
CloudSpace’s innovative enterprise networks on demand offers a simple, efficient, and cost-effective solution to network management. The feature provides businesses with more flexible & manageable networks that have an enhanced level of visibility and control while reducing costs. With the ability to build any size and complexity of network, turn it on and off with a timer, schedule it on and off time for any resources, businesses can be more agile and gain a competitive edge in today’s fast-paced environment.
