Cloud Computing: no more nebulous promises
Cloud Computing and virtualization are only the beginning of a revolution in how technology is developed and deployed, even though the concepts behind it are as old as the Internet itself.
The main benfits of modern Internet systems are:
- Easy scaling of CPU capacity to meet demand peaks and valleys, which saves money on over-built capacity.
- Reliable and scalable distributed filesystems and databases mean your application keeps running even when individual components fail.
- Increased density of applications on servers reduces energy consumption by 80% in typical environments.
We know what it takes to build and run Internet-scale hardware/software systems. We can help you eliminate scalability and reliability problems, by redesigning your systems to eliminate points of failure and bottlenecks, using the best, most efficient techniques and software.
Our suite of technologies include hardware virtualization, cloud computing technologies from Amazon and Rackspace, and mind-bending programming languages. The result for our customers is dramatic improvements in capacity, reductions in cost, and the ability to develop incredible new features.
What does Tiny Planet do?
- we train our customers on virtualization technology, and teach them how to rewrite their applications to take advantage of it.
- we sell the tools we built to monitor and manage our own virtualized application infrastructure.
- we get involved, hands-on, to solve problems.
There are a lot opinions, conjecture, and predictions about what virtualization means. We focus on real problems happening today, and how we can use and adapt current technology to solve them. We understand the theories and context, and that helps us find the real applications that provide value to our customers' businesses.
We've scaled web applications using Amazon's cloud technology, we've partitioned our hosting environment using virtualization, and we've worked with most of the relevant tools already.
