With OnApp you can own your Private Cloud

Forget the high costs and complexity of a legacy virtualisation infrastructure or the rent forever model of a Public Cloud.

Now owning your Cloud is inexpensive and it doesn't require a whole team of highly specialised technicians to manage it.

If you were thinking about Cloud because it allows you to just manage your workload without worrying about the underlying infrastructure then you have found it in OnApp. It's as convenient and easy to manage as a Public Cloud but you can own it.

A recent case study has shown a ROI that is as low as the equivalent of renting the resources needed from a major Cloud provider for 3 months.

Manage VMs like a pro

You can choose the VM you need from hundreds of ready to use Linux and Windows templates that your can tailor to your needs or you can upload your own ISOs or OVA to create your custom VMs.

Recipes, custom templates and other automation tools makes deployment of large number of virtual machines fast and easy.

Helping DevOps with Containers

OnApp Container Servers give you a framework for Docker to be deployed in your cloud.
Container Servers are based on a CoreOS template giving you all of the intuitive provisioning and management of standard OnApp virtual servers, but with the tools to enable your development team to run Docker and Kubernetes.

The applications you need, ready to use

Application Servers are an add-on to the OnApp Cloud platform. They give you instant access to a library of hundreds of SaaS and PaaS applications, which deploy in your Private Cloud in a couple of clicks and are managed just like virtual servers.
There is no easier way to test the solution you may need before going in production mode.

Your multi-Cloud infrastructure

OnApp is not a rip and replace platform.
If you still have a VMWare infrastructure you can integrate it with OnApp and even manage it from OnApp's control panel while you migrate workloads on your new Private Cloud.
You can move virtual machines fairly easily by converting them in OVA format and importing them into your OnApp Cloud.

Hybrid and Federated Cloud

To build, or rent, their Public Cloud infrastructures Amazon, Microsoft and Google are spending billions and that's something very few can afford to do on their own but do we really need massive scale infrastructures owned by a handful of corporations? Not any more.

OnApp has been providing ISPs and MSPs around the world the technologies necessary to build efficient, scalable and secure Cloud infrastructures which now account for 30% of the Cloud market. These, in principle, are the same technologies used to create AWS or Azure which are now available in the OnApp Enterprise offering to allow organisations of all sizes to create their own Cloud and, if they wish, to extend their reach through OnApp partners.

Organisations can choose what they want to keep on their Private Cloud and what they want or need to distribute across the federated Cloud to be compliant with local regulation or to position Internet facing services where connectivity and resilience satisfies their requirements.
 

Move workloads where you need them

If your organisation is part of a heavily regulated sector you can distribute your own OnApp Enterprise Cloud where needed.

Just deploy workloads on your ROBO (Remote Office/Branch Office) appliances, located in your offices or local data centres, with the peace of mind that your data will only stay within your own distributed infrastructure.

A local Cloud with global reach

Most businesses have predictable workloads so for most of the year your local Private Cloud covers all your requirements.

If you have seasonal peaks or you plan a marketing campaign in a specific area around the world there is no need to buy more OnApp nodes, just select an OnApp parner that has the resources you need and where you need them and move the workloads there for the time necessary. Easy.

Geographical Disaster Recovery

If you have two or more sites you can use the built in Disaster Recovery services to replicate your virtual machine and data.
In case of failure in one of the sites all your data is still safe and you can start working again from the other site in matter of minutes.

If at present you have only one site OnApp can offer you the Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS).

Manage and migrate multi-Cloud infrastructures

OnApp is a true multi-Cloud platform not just a pretty web interface. It can run your KVM, Xen VMs and manage your VMWare infrastructure but it doesn't stop there.

If you have workloads running on AWS you can control your instances from within OnApp management interface and/or migrate them to your OnApp Private Cloud to reduce costs.

Into "Serverless"? Now you can run your preferred development frameworks on your own Cloud as well.

OnApp Cloud Federation

Your Cloud building blocks

All Cloud infrastructures are made of servers and cables but some are more efficient than others. With Intel Cloud Blocks you can start creating your Cloud with a 2U chassis to then grow as much as you need. All the resources you require, such as compute power and distributed storage, are already included and there is no need to purchase expensive external SAN.

Efficient and modular configuration

To create your first OnApp Cloud infrastructure you will need 1 Control Panel, 1 Backup node and 2 Compute/Storage nodes.

Once that is in place you can then grow your Cloud to hundreds of nodes by just adding Cloud Blocks^* configured to match your workload requirements.

Depending on your requirements you can choose CPUs from 8 to 24 cores, install up to 1Tb of RAM per node and mix HDDs, SSDs and NVMes in the 6 drives slots available in each node.
The Control Panel and Backup nodes can also be installed on separate servers if you want to start with 4 compute nodes.

SMEs and ROBO configurations

A compact and inexpensive configuration for SMEs and Remote Offices. If don't have write intensive intensive operations then you can use 4 1Gb network ports to link the compute/storage nodes with the backup node.
Management, local and public networking will be configured on the same swithch using VLANs

This is all you need to create your first Cloud infrastructure.

Enterprise Cloud configuration

In an enterprise environment where growth is planned and intensive write operations are part of the standard workloads we recommend to start with a 10 or 40 Gb switch to connect the compute/storage nodes and the backup node.

It's an investment that still costs a lot less than a VMWare/SAN configuration and allows for fast and easy scalability of your Private Cloud.

Adapting to your requirements

Depending on the types of requirements your have you can choose the building blocks you need and mix them the way you like.

You may want to use a separate 1U node for your Control Panel or you could use 3,5" drives as your Cloud needs more storage capacity than speed.
You can also add nodes with tens of high capacity drives for long term archival and backups.

In short you can model your Cloud to match your exact requirements when you want.

HyperConvergence and automation

It can't be any easier to build a Private Cloud from OnApp's HyperConverged Infrastructure.
All the elements of your infrastructure are presented to you as resources that you can allocate to your workloads just as you would do with any other Cloud provider.

All the management and automation necessary to go from hyperconvergence to Cloud with full recovery in case of failure of a drive, a node or even a data centre is taken care of by OnApp.
