Build clouds the way the world's biggest public and private clouds are built

The best choice for any cloud

Hosted public cloud: Get complete management software and infrastructure technology to enable customers to move their applications to the cloud and host their own public computing cloud. Core management functions include user self-administration, service offering management, cloud administration, billing and reporting.

Hosted private cloud: Offer enterprise customers all the benefits of elastic cloud computing services—delivered on dedicated servers with exclusive network access control to meet their requirements for corporate privacy, security and compliance. Delegated administration features make it simple for enterprises to set up utilization charge-backs, user self-administration, approved virtual machine template libraries and security controls to govern how workers utilize the cloud.

On-premise private cloud: Increase IT agility by hosting a private cloud that gives your workers the flexibility they demand while helping to optimize datacenter utilization. CloudPlatform gives CIOs and IT executives a simple-to-deploy, easy-to-manage solution for implementing a private computing cloud.
