Profitability.net launches Appica.com cloud service

Profitability.net today announced the launch of Appica, a cloud computing and storage or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering.

Appica provides computing servers (CPU, RAM) and SAN storage on demand.  With Appica you can simplify the provisioning of new servers and storage to a 5 minute process via a web management platform. Gone are the days of procurement, rack and stack, OS installation, hardware break-fix, and configuration.

The Appica portal enables users to select the amount of CPU, RAM, and storage required for the server and create the instance. Once enabled, users can configure firewall rules, load balancing, and data protection.  Customers have full root and administrator access to control and manage their server instances.

“Profitability.net is pleased to expand our Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solutions to include Cloud servers,” said Aaron Larkins, CEO at Profitability.net. “Our clients and partners don’t want to manage a complex virtualization process that is costly and difficult to manage.  With Appica, our customers can deploy servers and storage in minutes compared to in-house projects that take days or months.”

Appica includes a redundant architecture meaning there are no single points of failure at any layer of the solution.  Appica uses up to three storage pools to protect customer data including a primary SAN for customer data, a secondary SAN for customer snapshots, and a third storage pool for customer backup managed via a continuous data protection system.  With Appica, every server is guaranteed resources and failover capacity to ensure your applications are available when you need them.

Appica is starting with a beta launch in June.  During the beta period there will be no charge for Appica services.  Interested customers should contact us at 513.361.0800 or 800.556.1369.
