HyperCloud DATASHEET Consume IT, Don t Build IT. In today s shared economy companies drive a competitive edge by focusing on their core competencies and leveraging technology to innovate and create new offerings. By leveraging the right technology platform, companies can simplify their IT, reduce costs and deploy innovative business solutions to drive growth. IT s Cloud Dilemma CIOs are under pressure to innovate but face obstacles. Eighty-seven percent said they need a more simplified and agile infrastructure; 93% said they need to reduce operational costs, and 52% said their IT teams lack the necessary skills, experience and resources to deliver applications rapidly and build a true webscale cloud infrastructure. The challenge to create innovative solutions quickly leads the development team to turn to public cloud options like AWS to build applications. But placing data in public clouds creates serious security and compliance issues, and can incur significant costs relative to on premises solutions. As cloud data continues to grow, businesses also risk lock-in to cloud service providers. The move to the private cloud is also challenging; in a recent survey, CIOs said that most private cloud initiatives have failed due to the complexity of a piece-part approach, the lack of application services, and absence of a utility consumption model.
PAGE 2 HyperCloud HyperCloud Application Delivery Platform HyperGrid s Solution: HyperCloud HyperCloud is a hybrid cloud service that offers application, platform and infrastructure services to accelerate transformation and delivery of business applications. Running applications on HyperCloud allows IT organizations to speed up the delivery of services, increase IT efficiency, and save substantial costs, all while benefitting from the security, scale and performance of HyperCloud. HyperCloud helps enterprises accelerate from building IT to consuming IT. It provides a full scale-out application platform to a company s datacenter as a service, HyperCloud delivers true cloud agility and economics inside a company s datacenter. It fundamentally changes how companies consume IT through a no-capex (pay-as-you-go) model. HyperCloud manages and automates day-today tasks for organizations of all sizes. There is no equipment to buy, no software to install. Customers get all of the benefits of the public cloud while maintaining security and control.
