IaaS Cloud Design and Build
Design and implementation of IaaS cloud infrastructures for private and public cloud implementations
Building IaaS Cloud Orchestrated with Apache CloudStack
We combine 100’s of man-years of experience in designing and building complex network, storage and compute infrastructures with our specialist knowledge of Apache CloudStack and its ecosystem.
ShapeBlue works with and has deep expertise in a range of networking and storage technologies that we have selected as being ideally suited in the build-out of Clouds.
Our approach
Establish Requirements
Capacity Planning
One of the key factors to building a successful cloud is get virtual machine density as high as possible without compromising performance. The possibility of over-provisioning must also be considered.
Through our extensive experience, we are experts in planning the compute, hypervisor, storage and network architectures to achieve the required compute density.
Technical Design
We use our extensive experience to design network, compute, storage and integration infrastructures that will allow your cloud to scale as demand increases whilst minimising initial cap-ex. We work with a number of hardware vendors who have created products that fit well into a cloud architecture. Maybe, most importantly, we understand the limitations of many technologies that claim to be cloud aware.
Storage, Network and Compute Build
Working with your technical team or independently, we will build out the required infrastructure in order to support your cloud. We have built a set of best practices and automation tools to allow us to deploy infrastructure at scale.
Integration
We have extensive expertise in integrating cloud technologies with billing platforms, monitoring platforms, CRM tools, web portals and other software components.
Documentation & Skills Transfer
We recognise that it is essential that your in-house support teams can support your cloud from day 1. We will create detailed as-build duration and operational run-books.
