Spin up virtual machines, storage and networking in minutes, on hardware shared with other customers or reserved only for you.
Aptum's self-service cloud lets your team provision virtual machines, storage and networking in minutes through Aptum Prizm, on infrastructure Aptum manages. You can see what resources cost before you create them, and you'll find the spend in reports afterwards.
Pricing is predictable, with no egress charges and no per-transaction IOPS fees. Managed services can be added to offload undifferentiated operations from your team.
Aptum IaaS comes in two forms: Shared Cloud and Dedicated Cloud. Both run on the same platform, and both are managed in Aptum Prizm. The difference is the hardware underneath.
| At a glance | Shared Cloud | Dedicated Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Hosts | Shared physical hosts | Reserved, single-tenant hosts |
| Compute | Pooled across shared hosts | The full capacity of your hosts is available to your workloads |
| Storage | Shared storage, Standard or Performance SSD | Shared storage by default, with dedicated storage available at additional cost |
| Best when | You want the most cost-effective route, from development through production | A workload that needs consistent performance, or single-tenant hardware is required for compliance or business reasons |
Run workloads on either, or both. A workload can move between them as its requirements change, and your team manages it the same way either side of the move. Start with whichever fits today and add the other as you grow.
Aptum has been running infrastructure for more than 25 years, from data centres it operates in across Canada, the US and the UK. Self-service cloud is a part of a portfolio that covers colocation, private cloud, public cloud and managed services, so we can offer a solution to meet your needs.
Our team is available to support the planning and execution of migrations, as well as ongoing operations and management if that is what you need. Choose Aptum and get a tailor-made mix of services to best support your business.
Aptum IaaS is virtual infrastructure you provision and manage yourself, on demand, through a portal or the API. Aptum manages the underlying infrastructure so you can focus on using it and not running it.
Shared Cloud runs your virtual machines on hosts shared with other customers, separated by private VLANs. Dedicated Cloud reserves the hosts for you, so the isolation is physical and performance does not depend on other tenants. Both are self-service through Aptum Prizm.
Either, or both. Your team can run all of it through Aptum Prizm, and Aptum's managed services can take on the operations that are undifferentiated for your business. The mix can change as your needs do.
Pricing is predictable. You pay a set rate for what you use, and you can commit to a pool of resources for a discount on the workloads you can forecast. There are no egress charges and no per-transaction IOPS fees. Talk to an Aptum cloud expert to price your workloads.
On hardware Aptum owns and manages, in data centres we operate across Canada, the US and the UK. Each Aptum region is a fully separate environment, so your data stays in the region you choose.
