Just a few of the many benefits you’ll see with CloudTO as your Cloud Hosting provider. So what exactly, is cloud hosting?

Cloud hosting, or cloud computing, offers rapid deployment of unlimited processing power with completely scalable storage, delivered online. The cloud operates on a set of pooled computing resources that allows our clients to build their web-based business without the hassle of ever needing to buy new hardware to meet any increasing traffic demands.

Should your processing needs change, CloudTO’s cloud hosting services will instantly change with you, always providing you with the power you need. And with high availability and high redundancy, downtime/loss of data are things of the past.

When you need it, you’ll have it. It’s that simple.

We’ve built our Cloud Hosting Service from the ground up to offer the most reliable and cost effective solution for your simple and complex hosting needs. Read about our Cloud Hosting features below:

Scalability: Easily scale up or down depending on your resource requirements. Avoid time and money associated with data migration with painless scalability. Instant allocation of resources gets you going right away!

Full Redundancy: Redundant power, connectivity (bandwidth), and storages (Raid 6)

High Availability (HA): If the hardware node (server) that your virtual machine is hosted on is not responding, it will automatically be moved to another hardware node for minimal downtime.

Cutting Edge Hardware: Our Cloud Hosting service operates on Dell Blade Servers each with 2 X Quad Core Intel Xeon CPUs in a Dell Blade Enclosure with fully redundant power. We use Dell Storages with Raid 6 + hotswap for added redundancy.

World Class Datacenter: Our Xen VM Plan Infrastructure is all housed in our sophisticated data center at 151 Front St. in Toronto, Ontario.

Hardware Independent: Our cloud hosting doesn’t rely on any single hardware. As a result, our clients are protected against hardware failures, outdated hardware, and resource limitations.

Easy Recovery: Easily recover and restore your virtual machine from a full image restore

Cost Effective: Pay for what you need, and easily get more when you need it. We’ve already invested heavily in our infrastructure for you to utilize at a fraction of the cost.

Green: We’re utilizing one of the most power stingy hardware on the market, and allocating resources in a way to maximize efficiency.

Dashboard

The Dashboard shows an overview of the entire cloud (for administrators) or a personalized view of usage (for individual users).

Virtual machine management

You can create, start, stop or delete virtual machines directly from the control panel. The actions available to users depend on the permissions assigned to them.

Create virtual machines

Choose a virtual machine from the template library. Give it a name, hostname, password and hypervisor. Set the machine’s resources and you’re ready to deploy.

Scale

Change virtual machine resources – it’s easy to scale up resources for virtual machines, or to scale back when needed.

Add more resources

Add resources to the cloud – you can easily add and configure new hypervisors, data stores and networks as you need to. Attach more disks for storage to your Virtual Machine when there is a load: detach them when they’re no longer needed.

Full User Control

Control user access – you can allow users to manage all servers, virtual machines, disks and templates, or restrict them in almost any way you need to. Use our predefined user roles to assign permissions, or create as many of your own roles as you need.

Analyze Usage

Analyze usage with interactive CPU and bandwidth graphs for each virtual machine. Click and drag to zoom into a specific time period.

Monitor Activities

Transaction log – Track every virtual machine transaction. Drill down to see specific details of all virtual machine and cloud activities.
