Logicworks Managed Hosting Solutions

MANAGED CLOUD COMPUTING FOR CRITICAL APPLICATIONS

Overview
infiniCloud™, from Logicworks is the first managed cloud computing platform built to seamlessly integrate with existing enterprise IT infrastructures and deliver the performance needed to power critical applications.

With infiniCloud™ users not only get an easy adoption path to make their initial move onto the cloud, they also get a powerful evolution path that can adapt to handle their mission-critical applications over time.

Technology
Logicworks infiniCloud^TM is a scalable public cloud platform that provides on-demand compute and storage resources which can directly connect (via Gig-E or 10 Gig-E) to private availability zones, private clouds, and complex managed hosting architectures to allow VMs to reside in the same network space as your bare metal servers. All of Logicworks services include dedicated Account Management and access to flexible, accountable, and consistent support while allowing clients to minimize the headaches associated with purchasing and maintaining their own infrastructure or babysitting an unmanaged cloud solution.

Hardware Details
Processors are all based on Intel’s Westmere family of processors (or newer) and storage is backed by EMC Isilon’s Scale-Out storage platform.  Logicworks has also deployed full 10 Gig-E connectivity via Extreme switches between all nodes in infiniCloud^TM, for compute as well as storage.

infiniCloud^TM allows you to build and deploy servers in seconds and keep them running in whatever quantity as your business and applications require. Virtual Machines (VMs) are based on your desired combination of RAM, Disk and CPU which you determine based what purpose your VM is serving. Thanks to infiniCloud’s dynamic compute model, VMs can be added or deleted on the fly with no commitment allowing you to easily match expenses with revenues and pay as you grow.

Other key technical considerations:

·       All VMs are highly available

·       All VM data is persistent

·       4 CPU cores per VM

·       Up to 32GB of RAM per instance

·       Access to server consoles directly on the web

·       On-demand snapshots or configurable recurring snapshots and retention

·       Custom server template libraries

·       GUI self-service portal

·       Create, configure, and manage VMs, storage, and templates

·       Fully documented API 

·       Real-time usage reporting

·        Multiple architectures:

o   NAT private network

o   Direct public address

o   Direct private connect to private cloud / private AZ / VLAN

Load Balancing and High Availability
infiniCloud^TM offers two types of load-balancing. infiniCloud^TM natively utilizes HAProxy for basic load balancing of traffic between multiple hosts. For clients who require auto-scaling or are in need of a more feature-rich solution, Logicworks offers Riverbed (formerly Zeus) load-balancing within infiniCloud^TM to enable improved performance, application acceleration, global solutions, and much more. 

Private Availability Zone
infiniCloud^TM is available on a private, dedicated basis for clients with specific compliance, security, or performance requirements. Clients get dedicated resources sized appropriately for their specific needs without sacrificing the manageability and ability to integrate with public cloud resources for bursting or auto-scaling.

Services
People and support matter as much in the cloud as they do when deploying resources in-house or with managed hosting. Critical applications need in-depth monitoring, proactive response, and someone keeping a careful eye on what matters most – your infrastructure. Logicworks offers an unmatched level of IT operations integration through its managed support services which include application monitoring (powered by EM7), server patching, managed security, intrusion detection services (IDS), managed database services, and compliance solutions for PCI, HIPAA, and SAS-70 Type II Compliance. This is in addition to having a Dedicated Account Team to support and be responsive to your evolving business requirements.

Multi-Cloud integration & Configuration Management
Logicworks offers configuration management and integration and with other cloud solutions via its partnership with RightScale, the leader in cloud management solutions. Logicworks also offers a direct connection to Amazon Web Servcies (AWS) for clients who want to continue to leverage EC2 or S3 for certain applications or needs.
