SoftLayer - CloudLayer [Premium Profile!]

SoftLayer provides global, on-demand datacenter and hosting services from SAS 70 Type II compliant facilities across the U.S., and soon internationally. The company’s CloudLayer solution leverages best-in-class connectivity and technology to empower enterprises with complete access, control, security, and scalability.

Customer Portal: Customer-controlled, automated management of core functions including server reboots, OS reloads, load balancing and many more.

Private Network: Out-of-band management and data transfer via VPN over dedicated carriers segregated from SoftLayer public network. Ten separate points of presence (POP) enabling local high-speed connections such as metro WAN services directly to the SoftLayer private network.

Integrated Geographical Diversity: Currently three U.S. datacenters with additional domestic and international locations planned. Each datacenter is connected via multiple private 20Gbps connections, and integrated through proprietary automated tools.

Virtual Data Center Services: SoftLayer's Innovative infrastructure, solutions, and automation capabilities provide unique advantages for virtualized solutions and a truly virtual data center.

Agility and Control: At SoftLayer, on-demand means rapid, accurate and automated delivery of any service through both a web portal and an open API. The company also delivers additional services and features (like dedicated servers, hardware firewalls and load balancing) in real time, either as part of the initial order or any time they are needed.

Bare Metal Cloud: Computing instances do not require a hypervisor. As a result, this provides a more viable cloud computing option for workloads that demand direct access to physical hardware, such as databases and calculation-intensive applications.

Build Your Own Cloud: Customer-controlled configuration of CPU, memory and storage used by cloud servers. Personalize servers to the specifications your applications demand and only pay for what you need.
