Planet Hippo’s IaaS solution is powered by OnApp, the rapidly growing cloud resource technology which is now used by one in three public cloud platforms. It enables users to set up private or public clouds in minutes using libraries of pre-configured, customisable virtual machine templates that allow easy deployment of virtual machines running different operating systems and applications simultaneously. Planet Hippo also enables users to select the resources they require, including virtual private servers and shared hosting platforms, scaling them as required to match demand, save energy and minimise cost.
According to Darren Lavender, Managing Director of Planet Hippo: “This new IaaS solution offers greater flexibility and scalability than traditional web hosting. It enables corporate users to accelerate their delivery of cloud services and achieve significant cost reductions by reducing their reliance on premise based IT infrastructure and eliminate the need for costly and obsolete centralised storage.”
Available for a fixed monthly cost or on a pay-as-you-go basis, Planet Hippo’s IaaS solution eliminates the complex, time-consuming and costly challenges experienced by corporate users when developing cloud-based solutions. With no deployment, setup or integration costs required, it combines ultra-high performance, storage and affordability with easy incremental growth and expansion to give users greater control of their cloud platforms.
