Get The Benefits Of Clouds Using Dedicated Resources
For customers that want the benefits of Cloud Computing but do not want to run their virtual machines on a shared cloud infrastructure, REDPLAID offers customized Private Cloud Computing solutions.
Like REDPLAID Cloud Computing, REDPLAID Private Clouds utilizes VMware ESX Virtual Infrastructure 3 running on powerful Dell PowerEdge Servers to deliver cost-effective, scalable and reliable Cloud Computing. (Note: We will be migrating to VMware vSphere 4 later in 2009). With REDPLAID Private Clouds, you are free to run whatever software you want and control the Virtual Machines running within your Cloud. With REDPLAID Private Clouds, you can run any Guest Operating System that runs under VMware ESX, including all Windows versions, all Linux distributions, Solaris, FreeBSD and many others. All Private Clouds connect to our fault-tolerant Cisco Gigabit network to deliver exceptional performance with a 100% Network Uptime Guarantee.
REDPLAID offers two Cloud Computing options: Silver Private Clouds (Low Cost ) & Gold Private Clouds (Fault-Tolerant).

Silver Private Clouds: Standalone VMware Servers
REDPLAID Silver Private Clouds deliver low-cost VMware Virtual Machines running on high-performance, standalone Dell PowerEdge servers. You are free to run whatever server configurations and software you want on your Silver Private Cloud environments. You can provide your own VMware images (VMDK file), run off-the-shelf appliances from VMware's Partner Catalog, or REDPLAID can install and support Windows Server 2003/2008 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Version 4 or 5) or CentOS 5.x Linux.
You can run any Dell PowerEdge server platform that REDPLAID supports, and you can add more capacity in terms of processors, memory, and disk space as needed.
Gold Private Clouds: VMware Server Clusters
REDPLAID Gold Cloud is designed for Software as a Service Hosting (SaaS Hosting), and other business-critical hosting environments where uptime is critical.
REDPLAID Gold Private Clouds run VMware ESX Enterprise, including VMware HA (High Availability) & VMware VMotion. REDPLAID Gold Private Clouds utilize clustered Dell PowerEdge servers connected to a high-performance iSCSI Storage Area Network, where all Virtual Machines and their data reside. If any server fails, all virtual machines running on a failed server automatically restart on another server within the cluster - with no changes required to your applications or software!
Like REDPLAID Silver Private Clouds, you are free to run whatever software you want on your Gold Private Cloud Virtual Machine(s), as long as your Operating System can run VMware Tools. So you can provide your own VMware images (VMDK file), run off-the-shelf appliances from VMware's Partner Catalog, or REDPLAID can install and support Windows Server 2003/2008 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Version 4 or 5) or CentOS 5.x Linux for you.
You can run any Dell PowerEdge server platform that REDPLAID supports, and you can add more capacity in terms of processors, memory, and Storage Area Network (SAN) disk space as needed.

Software Supported
You are free to provide your own VMware image (VMDK file) in order to run and install any software you want within your Silver Private Clouds or Gold Private Clouds. To provide your own VMDK file within our Gold Private Cloud offering, your O/S inside your VMDK file must support VMware Tools and have it installed within your VMDK file. Or if you are looking for a fully supported software environment, REDPLAID can setup and support both Silver Private Cloud and Gold Private Cloud Virtual Machines with popular software environments including
