NephoScale offers a cloud platform called NephOS that aims to provide high performance infrastructure and tools to enable collaboration between development and operations teams based on DevOps principles. NephOS provides fast virtual machines, dedicated servers, object storage, and tools like CloudScript for template-based deployment and elastic networking. NephoScale argues this solution can help customers develop, deploy, and improve applications faster with greater predictability and efficiency than other cloud providers.

1. Performance Is More Than Just Fast VMs
November 6, 2012

2. Software Development Has Evolved
• Agile methodology means rapid iteration
• Collaboration between cross-functional teams
• Responding to change over following a plan
• Customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of useful
software features
• Welcome changing requirements, even late in
development

3. Operations Must Evolve Too
• Infrastructure must rapidly adapt to new requirements from new
SW features
• New applications like Big Data are driving unique networking &
performance requirements
• Rapid change in Dev & Ops drives need for more collaboration
• Infrastructure must scale up & down quickly
• Business stakeholders need visibility to systems
• Fast evolution drives need for more documentation & greater
dependence on predictable management tools

4. Choosing a Cloud Provider

14. Methods for Server Deployment
Customer Portal
• Login and Provision server(s)  Depending on the application complexity -
• Locate Credentials end to end process could take up to 4 hours
• SSH or RDC to server(s)  Best for lower volume static environments
• Login to server(s)
• Download and configure Apps
RESTful API
• From Host Make API calls to  Application configuration is same as Portal
provision servers deployment
• Login to server(s)  Provisioning is streamlined for larger server
• Download and configure Apps deployments time reduced 50%
 Best for higher volume deployments with
limited modifications
CloudScript TM 
• Define entire data center config in Single CloudScript file posted to NephoScale
single text file - CloudScript API that deploys entire cluster and stack
• Server parameters defined in one  With pre-configured template, process can be
section (hostname, IPs, OS, etc) reduced to 15 minutes or less
• Define Config Mgmt dependencies  Best for varied server deployments requiring
such as configuring apps, and what frequent iterations
data to inject

15. Customer Adoption
Application SMB-Mid Sized
Enablement Enterprise
Developers Commercial
 Manage infrastructure as  Legacy infrastructure
code  Internal and/or external
infrastructure conversion to private
 Low legacy infrastructure cloud
 Internal IT orgs leverage
 Dynamic Resource - external resources (MSP,  Mature IT practices
based on application VARs, etc)  Hybrid cloud models for
adoption rate non critical applications
