Deadly icicles outside my window, pretty awesome, I know.






On the ice in the Arctic of Utah.



Reason #764: Hangar space.

Building a Private Cloud
The Challenge: Finding an easy, low-risk way to take advantage of Cloud technology
No IT professional can afford to ignore the promise of a cloud approach to computing. The cost and efficiency benefits are clear – stop buying more hardware to meet your computing needs.

The challenge is finding a way to take advantage of the concept (and reap the benefits) while maintaining control of your own resources. Most IT organizations just aren't ready for a complete overhaul to their existing way of life.

Why Reliance for your internal cloud?Low risk and easy to implement
Dramatically reduces capital and operating costs
Allows applications and data to remain in-house
Takes advantage of existing resources rather than looking outside the organizatio
Can integrate with existing provisioning and monitoring technologies
In addition, organizations still have considerable investments in IT that remain underutilized. Even with virtualization implementations in place, supply may have increased but there is no control over how that supply is used. So it makes more sense to first optimize utilization on your in-house resources before looking to an external cloud to meet your needs.

The Solution: Evolution, not revolution
Reliance enables companies to build internal clouds to take advantage of cloud benefits (cost savings, operational efficiency) while maintaining control of their own resources and data.

With Reliance, companies maximize infrastructure utilization internally before seeking capacity externally. The appliance model integrates easily into an existing landscape of technologies to deliver the maximum performance on the minimum infrastructure, all the time.
