Scalable Virtual Private Data Centers:
A Cost-Effective Approach To Give You The Flexibility You Need

What if you could have your own high-performance datacenter, complete your own servers, networking, and firewall - but create, scale, and dispose of it on demand?  ENKI's PrimaCloud Virtual Private Data Centers give you the flexibility you need to break free of the limitations of traditional hosting services or other cloud providers without having to build or staff your own data center.  They do this by enabling application-centric cloud management, instead of server-centric cloud management.

Take advantage of our data center expertise, excellent Internet connectivity, and powerful servers by leasing a Virtual Data Center from us, paying only for as much computing as you need, from fractions of one server to multiple servers. You can complement your Virtual Data Center environment with other ENKI services to provide all the capability and dependability of an enterprise data center supported by your own IT department.

PrimaCloud flexibility opens new possibilities for your business

Because your Virtual Data Center can be rapidly provisioned or torn down, ENKI offers your business new ways to solve longstanding problems:

• Create a data center to handle temporary spikes in your computing needs, such as seasonal or project-phase related workload, or even training and marketing events.
• Build a virtual "sandbox" copy of your production data center for testing and staging, allowing you to reduce downtime for software releases by improving software quality and being able to roll back releases in case of severe problems.
• Create a separate data center to support each of your SaaS clients with absolute security and quickly-scalable computing power.
• Move your existing onsite computing environments easily into a Virtual Data Center that is configured to match them exactly, in order to eliminate the need for an intranet or to support expansion into branch offices.  Our industry-standard VMWare technology can turn physical servers into virtual ones automatically, or you can upload your existing virtual images for execution.
• Move application development from the desktop environment to mini Virtual Datacenters that match the production environment exactly.
• Use VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) to provision desktops in the cloud, reducing administrative overhead and allowing your users to have the same desktop no matter where they are.   Your Virtual Data Center can include all the same servers and services you are used to in your physical environment.
