The
SingleHop
Public
Cloud
is
an
exceptional
choice
by
almost
any
standard.
Features
include:
• Mobile
Accessibility.
SingleHop’s
LEAP
Control
Panel
can
be
accessed
from
anywhere
via
PC,
iPhone,
iPad
or
Android
device.
In
addition
to
offering
fingertip
control
of
physical
and
virtual
resources,
notifications,
alerts
and
updates
are
delivered
automatically.
• AutoScaling.
Create
your
own
rules-‐based
guidelines
for
automatically
increasing
or
decreasing
the
RAM,
number
of
processors,
or
storage
you
use
in
your
SingleHop
cloud-‐
based
resource.
• Hourly
Billing.
Development
teams,
testing,
and
other
groups
with
variable
resource
needs
benefit
from
hourly—compared
to
monthly—billing
as
they
scale
their
use
of
cloud-‐based
resources
up
and
down
to
meet
their
to-‐the-‐moment
needs.
Hourly
billing
is
available
across
all
SingleHop
Public
Cloud
resources,
including
its
application-‐hosting
product,
Hosted
Cloud
Apps.
• SAN-‐based
Storage
with
Automatic
Failover.
The
SingleHop
Public
Cloud
replaces
local
storage
with
a
robust
and
fully
redundant
SAN-‐based
cloud
storage
solution.
This
means
that
if
the
cloud
server
you
are
using
for
processing
should
ever
fail,
the
system
will
automatically
spin
up
a
new
instance
which
connects
to
the
same
storage
allocation—
saving
you
what
could
otherwise
be
hours
of
data
transfer
and
resource
reconfiguration.
Failover
happens
fast,
often
without
missing
a
ping.
• Load
Balancing.
SingleHop’s
VMware-‐based
infrastructure
provides
automated
load
balancing
between
multi-‐node
deployments.
This
means
Web
servers
or
application
servers
are
easily
configured
to
balance
traffic
between
multiple
cloud
servers
for
optimal
performance.
• Faster
Deployment.
Virtual
resources
can
be
deployed
more
than
5
times
faster
than
before
with
our
new
Public
Cloud
offering.
Deployment
times
for
cloud
servers
are
in
the
60-‐second
range.
• Template
and
Capture
Functionality.
VMware
technology
allows
users
to
create
a
template
of
any
server
or
group
of
servers
to
revert
or
replicate
as
needed.
The
capability
is
especially
useful
for
routine
configuration
of
multiple
virtual
machines.
• Supports
both
Windows
and
Linux
operating
systems.
“One of the primary goals for our new VMware-‐based Public Cloud offering was to blend our award-‐winning service with an enterprise-‐class cloud product,” said Marc Bollinger, SingleHop Development Manager. “In fact, our customer-‐centric focus leads everything we do. Not only do we offer the industry’s most comprehensive SLA on all our products, but our support structure ensures that customers talk to a certified SingleHop technician, not a call center representative.”
