Industrial-Strength Cloud Computing
Logicworks’ Industrial-strength Cloud Computing is a better way to efficiently manage, allocate and deploy your IT assets. Our virtual solutions are easily scalable and dependable, and a dedicated cloud infrastructure in combination with all our other capabilities truly gives you the best of all worlds.
Windows and Red Hat Linux are both supported as ‘guest’ operating systems. Virtualization’s most obvious benefit is consolidation of servers, but its less obvious benefits are what make it a truly revolutionary technology for the datacenter: by decoupling the server from the hardware it runs on, Virtual Machines (VMs) become truly portable, allowing them to move from physical server to physical server without reconfiguration, which facilitates rapid provisioning and recovery.

Secure Private Clouds
Logicworks’ approach of deploying hardware exclusively on a private basis protects against security exploits targeted at the hypervisor or underlying hardware. Shared consumer cloud offerings do not. As a result, Logicworks’ Enterprise Cloud offerings are suitable for anyone with sensitive data, HIPAA or other regulatory compliance requirements. Security benefits similarly extend to the networking topology, with guaranteed, dedicated I/O between front-end ESX servers and their back-end storage.
Public Cloud (Coming Q3 2010)
Logicworks maintains a low-utilization shared public cloud intended for use primarily by existing Logicworks complex hosting and enterprise-class cloud customers. Whether for project development, temporary or completely unexpected surges in demand, or other short term needs, our public cloud environment lets you add tens or even hundreds of servers with a single click, providing virtually instantaneous scalability on-demand. CloudBurst delivers the cost efficiency of a shared cloud infrastructure with confidence inspiring performance and support that over-subscribed public clouds simply cannot deliver.
Hybrid Cloud Solutions
While it’s important to recognize that not all cloud platforms are created equal, Logicworks believes its even more important to recognize that Cloud Computing platforms are only one part of the solution to a complex infrastructure. That’s why we typically deploy our solutions in a hybrid configuration, with certain applications running in a virtualized environment, and others, typically databases, running in traditional bare metal deployments. Clouds themselves can include a spectrum of architecture configurations, with both dedicated and/or shared physical resources.
