NaviSite Launches Enterprise-Class Cloud Platform
NaviSite has unveiled an alternative to public cloud offerings such as Amazon’s EC2, by launching its own enterprise-class cloud offering, dubbed NaviCloud
In a fully managed mode, businesses select monitors that can be applied to VMs and groups of VMs. The monitors feed data into NaviSite’s monitoring and management systems. Management of the resources and virtual machines is done through NaviCloud’s customer portal.
NaviCloud also can be combined with dedicated infrastructure services, enabling businesses to create hybrid IT environments.
Businesses are billed for the resources they use.
NaviSite is looking to give businesses the enterprise-level, scalable IT infrastructure they’re used to without having the high capital and operational costs, Martin said.
“It’s the cost model, where we build everything from the ground up,” he said. “When you look at the pricing, it’s so much cheaper than having to pay for physical machines.”
