Deployment scenarios

Public, private, hybrid & VPS clouds

You can build many different kinds of cloud with OnApp. For example...

By-the-hour public cloud hosting

OnApp public cloud example

You can use OnApp to set up a complete pay-as-you-go public cloud system:

  • Sell virtual machines to customers who pay for hourly for cloud resources
  • Set different prices for RAM, CPU and storage
  • Set up different availability zones with different pricing

With this kind of cloud, you can compete with the likes of Amazon Web Services.

Private clouds

OnApp private cloud example

Use OnApp to offer private cloud services, instead of or as well as a public cloud service.

  • You can group hypervisor, network and storage resources into a single private cloud resource
  • Customers get all the benefits of a private cloud, backed by the resources of the whole cloud
  • This brings the cost of private clouds down for customers, too

With this kind of cloud, you can also compete with the likes of Amazon Web Services...

Cloud VPS

Use OnApp to set up a cloud hosting service with resources packaged into pre-configured VPSs.

  • Group cloud resources into packaged resources you can sell on a monthly plan basis
  • Your customers use packages as the building blocks for their VMs
  • This approach makes cloud hosting extremely simple for end users - easy to transition traditional VPS customers to the cloud

With this kind of cloud, you can compete with services like VPS.NET.

Hybrid cloud hosting

This is where dedicated hosting meets the cloud. Use OnApp to offer hybrid servers to customers:

  • Allocate hypervisors on a 1:1 basis: each customer gets a dedicated hypervisor for their hosted service
  • Failover is provided by the rest of the cloud (for example, one HV might act as failover for 5 "live" HVs)

With this kind of cloud, you can compete with every dedicated server provider.

Traditional VPS model

You can use OnApp to manage traditional VPS services, too.

  • OnApp doesn't demand that you have a SAN back-end
  • This means, if you want to provide customers with traditional VPSs using local storage, OnApp can handle that too

This kind of set-up lets you compete with solus VPS providers.
