Clouds can be complex. When it comes to building a cloud environment for Web applications, the following questions are critical:

  • Will all the components work together?
  • How much time will it take to design, test and deploy your solution?
  • Will your cloud project drain staff resources?
  • Will it work with your existing infrastructure?
  • How will you support a solution that includes components from multiple vendors?

 

Dell takes out the guesswork and accelerates time-to-operation with its Cloud Solution for Web Applications, a turnkey cloud that is pretested, preassembled and fully supported.

 

Dell™ Cloud Solution for Web Applications is ideal for IT service providers and telecommunication companies that want to quickly set up cloud services to sell to their customers. It enables the quick rollout of a range of cloud service offerings, including Web-optimized platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). It is also an ideal solution for organizations that want to deploy a private cloud to support demanding Web-based applications and drive new levels of IT efficiency. It can help you improve business agility and increase performance while decreasing acquisition and operational costs.

 

This multitenant-ready solution helps you achieve a wide range of business and IT benefits, such as:

  • Shorten time to value — Reduce the time to deploy the cloud from months to days with a preintegrated solution that can be set up quickly. Once the cloud is set up, administrators can deliver cloud services to users with just a few clicks.
  • Improve user productivity — A self-service portal enables end users to instantly self-provision virtual instances, including various configurations of processor, memory middleware and programming language tools, without worrying about operating system image management or predictive over-provisioning to meet varying loads.
  • Gain flexibility — With an inclusive repository of more than 1,100 open source tools (databases such as MySQL, Web servers like Apache, and development libraries like Java, PHP, Perl and Ruby) developers are not forced into any specific development platform and can get the tools they want for their application development.
  • Simplify management — Put administrative control back in administrators’ hands with a single-view insight into computing resources, and reclaim and reallocate resources within seconds. Automated monitoring tools greatly reduce management costs.
  • Increase IT performance — Identify underutilized resources with the Smart Operating System, and automatically leverage the resources for I/O performance enhancement. With a low overhead (resulting in higher utilization) and dynamic bursting to meet changing business needs, your IT system stays agile and efficient.
  • Safeguard your assets — Ensure robust security with virtual LAN (VLAN)-configured dedicated networks and restricted access to the base operating system kernel. Leverage the physical infrastructure, Joyent® SmartDataCenter software, and the same firewall security that is used by many global companies.
