CloudSigma - Who we are & What we do

We believe customers need the same level of sophistication and customization from their infrastructure in the public cloud as they do in private cloud or bare metal. Therefore, we combine the benefits of public and private cloud computing through our virtual data center approach. To see who we are and what we do look at this corporate overview of CloudSigma.

  1. We believe customers need the same level of sophistication and

    customisation from their infrastructure in the public cloud as they do in private cloud or bare metal. You can’t summarise the world’s computing requirements into discrete server types.
  2. Snapshot • Founded 2009, first cloud live Q1 2010 •

    200% revenue growth year over year 2010 – Q1 2014 • Offices in San Francisco, Zurich, Sofia & representation in New York & Lima • Cloud locations: Las Vegas, Washington DC, Zurich1 & Zurich2, Miami, Hawaii • Additional locations planned: Amsterdam, London, Sao Paulo & Singapore
  3. Results of innovations • Gartner 2013 Cool Vendor • Forrester

    2013 Customer Value Leadership Award • Superior independently benchmarked performance
  4. Combining Cloud Benefits Private Infrastructure • Configurability • Mature product

    offering • Full hardware emulation • Flexible server sizing Public Cloud • Capacity Elasticity • Transparent pricing • Geographic dispersion • Automation We combine the benefits of public and private cloud computing through our virtual data center approach.
  5. We offer a virtual hardware platform. A virtual data center

    with equivalent performance and configurability to hardware.
  6. The Product • Unbundled Compute power Infrastructure-as-a-Service • Compute power

    in the form of Virtual Machines • Rented on 5-minute billing cycles • Powerful advanced features tailor virtual infrastructure to application need
  7. We control our own destiny • With our own cloud

    stack • With an aggressive two year hardware lease cycle (use SDN, SSD etc.) • With agile continuous integration & super fast development cycles based on real customer usage
  8. Utility Billing That Scales • We sell resources in simple

    units per hour • Two purchase models: subscription and burst • Time and volume discounting • Sophisticated adaptive burst pricing helps us manage utilization in real time & deliver value to customers We stay competitive with hardware at any scale.
  9. Full performance SLA SDN Delivering Guaranteed Networking Metrics SSD Delivering

    Guaranteed Storage Performance Resource Allocation & Live Migration Delivering Stable Compute Performance Customer Defined Computing
  10. True Hybrid Cloud • Ability to map customer private patches

    directly to cloud private networks • Public and private infrastructure appear on same network subnet • No need for VPN preserving full line speed & low latency • Allows customers to integrate public cloud seamlessly
  11. A neutral platform • Run any x86/x64 operating system unmodified

    • Powerful private networking: offers complete TCP/IP traffic types including multicast, broadcast etc. • Multiple storage and networking interfaces per server • Result: our customers can run a single environment inside and outside of the public cloud
  12. SDN & Hybrid Cloud… Hybrid Cloud Products • Transparent hybrid

    patch: bridge environments. Zero cost. • Network-as-a-Service: provide redundant 10GigE anti- DDOS and IDS for simple per GB cost • Rebate up to 20% against private hosting cost on public cloud spend
  13. A Hybrid Partner • The Equinix deal: • They have

    app. 10,000 colo customers who needs public cloud • We have private patch into VLANs • They promote us directly to their end customers globally
  14. Customers & Segments • Over a thousand active customers •

    150 new free trials a day • 2-3 new paying customers per day • $4,500 lifetime value of average customer • Main customer segments as % of revenue: • Media (20%) • Finance (10%) • Science (20%) • Service providers (SaaS/PaaS and Telco’s)
  15. Focused around Four Key Use Cases 1. HPC/Scientific Computing 2.

    Financial Services Workloads (non-client) 3. Media industry workloads 4. SaaS/PaaS Hosting (includes internet of things)
  16. 1. HPC/Scientific Computing • Customers posses deep understanding of requirements

    • Demanding computing requirements • Judge by results i.e. price/performance • Care about flexibility and control of the platform
  17. 2. Financial Services Workloads • A significant percentage of bank

    workloads are against non-client data • Working with legacy IT departments with strong compliance needs (need harmonised environments) • Reliable, predictable performance is a prerequisite • In Europe company ownership & control has become a big factor
  18. 3. Media Industry Workloads • Strong focus on all types

    of performance depending on specific media workload • Multiple storage requirements i.e. tiered storage • Move away from traditional delivery to ‘over the top’ • Experience a strong load curve
  19. 4. SaaS/PaaS Hosting • Infrastructure is business critical to their

    offering • Possess clear ideas regarding infrastructure needs & optimisations • Performance benefits directly correlate to improved revenues
