Distributed computing or Cloud Computing, where services normally performed from dedicated machines are produced by clusters of machines across different locations offers some very compelling benefits, including unparalleled processing power, and additional levels of redundancy. We have put together a collection of our most useful cloud service offerings which we think offer the greatest benefits to our customers in terms of price and flexibility.
Cloud hosting offers the benefit of being able to scale up and down rapidly without having to pay for dedicated machines to handle the load. With vpod.tv Cloud Hosting service we create a load balanced instance of the setup needed by our customer with our dynamic scaling monitoring the load on the system. If traffic goes above a certain level additional instances of the platform are launched to handle the traffic. When the number of visitors slows down we shut down those instances once they are no longer needed. This means that our customers only pay for the processing power when they need it.
The vpod.tv Multi-CDN (Content Delivery Network) Solution adds an additional level of performance to the standard CDN system by connecting to the biggest CDN providers (Akamai, Limelight, Level3, CDNetworks, Highwinds, ChinaCache, etc…) and then dynamically choosing the best one based on geography, server installations, and delivery protocol. Whether for live or on demand video serving, site caching, or edge serving, the vpod.tv Multi-CDN Solution makes sure that your content is being delivered by the solution provider who can best guarantee the highest quality service to the largest number of visitors.
One of the major strengths of cloud computing is that it has made online storage and backup much more affordable. In additional to low pricing per GB the cloud backup service offers greater redundancy by synchronizing the backups across different cloud computing clusters. And with selective synchronization we can back up only the files that have changed and not have to create multiple duplicate backups. Only the files that have changed are updated.
