Superior performance at a lower cost
- Predictable, consistent pricing, calculated by element (number of cores and amount of RAM), not by transaction/bandwidth.
- Under-subscribed resources eliminates competition for processing capacity.
- High IOPS platform designed specifically to reduce transaction time
- SLA-driven, built for enterprise applications, not simply “best effort”
- Tier III+ host data centers deliver substantial physical redundancy benefits
