About Flexiant
Flexiant is a software and services company offering Flexiscale software to data centre, telecom and hosting providers. This allows licensees to build their own cloud and sell cloud services to their own customers using their own brand. Flexiscale is the UK’s first cloud computing platform. This platform was launched in 2007 by XCalibre Communications Ltd, an award winning company with a 12 year track record of providing hosting (http://www.flexiscale.com) services to the enterprise market, and subsequently acquired by Flexiant.
What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing gives customers access to computer resources provided as a utility, often on a pay as you go basis. Dynamically scalable virtualised resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Customers can thus avoid owning the physical infrastructure to host their software platform or web site, paying only for those resources that they use.
What are the benefits of cloud computing?
The “pay as you” go nature of cloud computing means companies can lower costs by eliminating capital investment and reducing operational costs. When resources are not being used, they are not being paid for either.
As computing resources can be dynamically shared between different customers, utilisation rates are improved, and the same computer hardware is used more efficiently. Power consumption is reduced, which has a significant impact on operational costs as well as considerable environmental benefits.
The increased agility of cloud computing means customers can easily scale up and down their computing resource in response to changes in demand. Customers can set up multiple servers with the click of a mouse, rather than wait days or weeks for an engineer to provision them in a data center.
What role does Flexiant play?
Many businesses use hosting providers, data center operators or telecommunications companies to provide and run the servers they use for their web sites and applications. These service providers host the servers of many such businesses, and are now looking to offer cloud computing services to their own customers. Flexiant allows them to do this without significant research and development expenditure by leveraging the five years of software development experience it has accrued as a pioneer in the cloud computing space.
