Private cloud delivers your MSP with the ideal balance between the scalability of public cloud and the control of on premises servers. As customers have moved from using on-premises servers to public cloud providers they have gained many benefits, including:
- The ability to quickly scale resources to meet changing requirements.
- Greater control over their resources across complex and distributed platforms.
- Access to enterprise-grade technology and facilities on a fractional basis.
- Flexibility to add interconnections to other platforms more readily, and more
But a key benefit of public cloud providers that many customers feel has not been realised is the promised cost savings. In fact, as the costs of public cloud have escalated, customers are increasingly seeking alternatives with even a return to using on-premises servers becoming a popular option.
Many MSPs are aware of this trend, but few are embracing the opportunity of providing their customers with their own private cloud option that delivers the benefits of public cloud, without the high price tag.
In this article, we will explore how easily your MSP can launch your own private cloud, under your own brand, delivering customers with all of the benefits of public cloud for a fraction of the cost, and with complete control.
Easily launch your own and private cloud offering
Launch your private cloud offering in minutes, not months
Launching your own private cloud, even on a modest scale, is a daunting task and a significant undertaking, beyond the means of all but the very largest MSPs in Australia or New Zealand. However, your MSP does not have to make the enormous effort and capital investment to arrange all of the many elements of a scalable private cloud environment. Instead, your MSP can launch your private cloud offering in minutes, rather than months, by simply leveraging our white-label private cloud platform.
A complete private cloud platform ready for immediate launch
Activa Communications has done all the hard work for you. Your MSP can launch a private cloud offering in literally minutes. Once your MSP is setup in our multi-tenant, white-label platform you can configure customers, deploy and launch resources, and even provide customers with access to their own tenancy to directly control their own resources.
Absolute control through true multi-tenant access
Partners can configure our platform as they choose, adjusting not only branding but also the resources available to customers and pricing (if shown at all). Our platform support true multi-tenant access allowing customers to be given direct access to deploy and launch resources directly under their account, with your MSP always being in control of your private cloud offering.
Effortless scalability with our Infiniband Fabric architecture
Unlike the offerings of other private cloud providers, your MSP can leverage an InfiniBand Fabric architecture platform that delivers true non-blocking performance where a wide range of cloud services can be accessed, combined and managed without compromise. The use of InfiniBand Fabric rather than Ethernet delivers optimal converged performance with superior efficiency.
Superior performance you can verify for yourself
Activa Communications provides MSPs with access to a revolutionary hyperconverged tech suite (virtual storage, compute, orchestration and virtual networking) to enable the delivery of high-performing and highly reliable cloud solutions at market-leading price-to-performance. The supercomputer-inspired design and enterprise-grade architecture allows MSPs and their customers to scale operations while dramatically reducing capital expenses and IT support costs. Our selection of the platform was based on our own performance testing, and we invite you to see for yourself how our performance compares with both public cloud and private cloud alternatives.
Support AI workloads with GPU as a service
Deliver customers with cutting end AI workload support using the GPU as a service function of our private cloud platform. Our partners are empowered to meet the needs of customers running demanding Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Desktop/Remote Desktop and rendering workloads. A seamless component of our wholesale private cloud for MSPs, GPU as a service helps MSPs stand out in a crowded marketplace.
Leveraging InfiniBand-based technology, GPUs are passed directly to cloud VMs. These GPU VMs integrate seamlessly over the same private networks as other compute, offering blazing-fast performance and operational flexibility.
Deploy compute across data centres
With a strong presence in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and the US, your MSP can deploy resources across multiple data centres and provide customers with blazing performance and geographically dispersed redundancy. Your MSP can provide customers with private connectivity to their private cloud resources using our own SecureNet product, improving security and performance.
Control your private cloud branding with our White-label portal
Your MSP can retain complete control over your customer relationships by leveraging our white-label portal to deliver your private cloud offering.
Tailor your offering and control the branding of your private cloud
Partners can assign their own domain name and branding to our portal, and then configure the platform with a preferred look and feel and the features and options they wish to offer to their customers. Billing can also be configured so that customers can view their consumption and costs directly, or hidden completely – the choice is yours.
Empower customers to manage their own compute and resources under your brand
Customers can be given direct access to your private cloud offering, allowing them to deploy and launch virtual machines and other resources under their account. Partners retain control to allow customers to do as much, or as little, as they prefer.
An array of complimentary products to enhance your private cloud
Your MSP can extend your private cloud offering with a range of complimentary products, seamlessly delivered as part of our wholesale private cloud platform.
Backup as a service including object store
Every MSP provides their customers with backup solutions, and through our Backup as a service product your MSP can deliver fast and reliable backup of servers and PC’s, with destinations including our own S3 compatible object store, other network destinations, or even local disk.
Microsoft SPLA licensing
Deploy Microsoft software licenses to customer resources under affordable SPLA licensing, with easy to manage billing and compliance
