Microsoft Office 2010 offers flexible and powerful new ways to deliver your best work - at the office, at home, or at school.
Hosted Exchange enables you to communicate using business-grade email while eliminating the need to upgrade and maintain a physical Exchange server. Archiving and encryption services are available for compliance and security purposes. Tailor your solutions based on your unique needs and ensure that your communications are always available. You remain in control.
Unlike many competitive products, CloudOffice was built on a multi-tenanted Geo Load Balanced Active/Active architecture. This unique design offers several benefits to its end users but most importantly means that customers’ virtual environments are built redundantly upon one another creating the ultimate design in Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity.
RapidScale's consistent hardware refresh cycles ensure that customers’ applications are running on reliable maintained equipment at all times. Services are built in geographically redundant data centers, so if a primary site goes offline, the secondary site will initiate and users will be routed to that site. CloudOffice is a reliable and secure way to store data and clients will experience the latest technology with exceptional data protection.
RapidScale's CloudOffice product replaces a client’s physical IT infrastructure by moving all the customer applications to the Cloud. This eliminates the need for the client’s IT team to maintain and support the physical hardware. This will also minimize the workload on the customer’s finance department regarding the procurement of IT hardware and associated maintenance contracts.
At the infrastructure level, CloudOffice is fully backed by Active Directory architecture to simplify the deployment of user accounts. With our front-end control panel, even non-technical clerical and HR workers have the ability to easily spin up user accounts and provision users with a Desktop, Mailbox, Applications, and File Permissions in one fluid and smooth process using a “next, next, finish” procedure. Built on the same technology as our CloudDesktop platform, rich HD graphics and a seamless end user experience are just a few of the front facing benefits of our CloudOffice product offering.
RapidScale is an industry-leading company in the delivery, design, and support of Microsoft Exchange. Our Service Level Agreement on CloudMail is 100% uptime and all support is U.S. based as we take pride in providing world-class service.
Microsoft Exchange introduces built-in integrated email archiving, retention, and discovery capabilities that save costs and simplify the process of preserving business communications. RapidScale’s Hosted Exchange solution delivers on the capabilities demanded by mobile workforces. Access your business email, calendar and contacts on your desktop, laptop, smartphone, and Web browser so it can always go where you go. With Exchange, you will remain in control of your solution by tailoring it to your specific needs and ensuring that your communications are always available.

Outlook Web App in Microsoft Exchange helps users be more efficient and productive across platforms and locations by giving them access to email, voice mail, instant messaging, SMS text messages, and more inside all popular browsers. Reduce complexity for your users and instead, offer secure access for multiple approved applications.
Our pay-as-you go plan is affordable and will help to remove the budgeting burden as well as hardware acquisition costs. Benefit from the latest version of Microsoft Exchange, and receive the latest software and security updates. With CloudMail, you will save short- and long-term costs while receiving superior support. This is how RapidScale’s CloudMail differs from its competitors.
While email is critical to your business, managing your Exchange server in-house can be expensive, time consuming, and full of hassles. Working with an external service provider can help you eliminate those headaches and take advantage of the full functionality of your Microsoft Hosted Exchange server.
Our CloudMail product set is built on our high performance fully redundant physical hardware platform just like the rest of our products sets. Uniformity between hardware and data centers ensures consistency across the board, eliminating the possibility of asymmetrical performance and simplifying diagnostics. For storage, we run NetApp controllers and storage shelves, Cisco UCS blade chassis for compute, and Cisco Nexus routers for core routing.
CloudDiscovery allows users to get a full assessment of their current infrastructure and the data needed to achieve a successful migration to the cloud. It provides a user-friendly interface that lays out the configuration, desktop use information, and compute information within their network.
Your servers, our Cloud, the best service in the industry. RapidScale gives you on-demand capacity with the best infrastructure tools and utilities in the industry.
The goal of CloudServer is to provide a flexible, standardized and virtualized operating environment that allows applications to perform at their peak without downtime. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) abstracts hardware (server, storage and network infrastructure) into a pool of computing, storage and connectivity capabilities that are delivered as services for a usage-based (metered) cost. Leveraging our infrastructure allows you to operate like an enterprise-level organization, no matter what size you are.
With CloudServer, you will also receive the benefits of Disaster Recovery. There are a myriad of ways to lose equipment and data, whether it is fire, theft or malfunctioning sprinklers. RapidScale’s CloudServer houses your data in secure Tier 3, Class 1 data centers that are mirrored and securely backed up. This gives your services the ability to be quickly back on-line and running smoothly in the event of a disaster. Our infrastructure resides in multiple data centers so clients can be assured that their business critical applications and data will be fully redundant in a different data center, making it easier to resume business as usual.
CloudServer has a pay-as-you-go model which allows you to scale up or down depending on your needs. Quickly seize new opportunities and get projects up and running with the scalability of our solution. When it comes to pricey hardware, you can save a lot by using our infrastructure and buying only what you use. With IaaS, eliminate the many negative aspects of IT expansion, especially issues with in-house infrastructure, while still receiving the processing power and storage space that you need to run.
CloudServer is based off of enterprise-class infrastructure at a fraction of the costs with 24x7x365 friendly and reliable support. We care about your business’ uptime objectives and security, which is why RapidScale has worked hard to become a leader in CloudServer. With your applications built into a private cloud environment that includes encryption, firewalls and advanced around-the-clock monitoring, they will remain safe and secure. Operate worry-free, knowing that you always have RapidScale’s support.
With your infrastructure hosted off-site, you free up your IT staff to focus on value-added tasks, such as planning and development, instead of running around patching machines and fixing bugs. Reduce risk, eliminate headaches and save money with CloudServer.

Nell'ambito del ciclo dei webinar CRUI, Commvault introduce il tema dell'adattamento delle strategie di data protection alle infrastrutture Cloud. Commvault tramite la propria piattaforma di Singular Information Management ha l’obiettivo di raggiungere un livello di protezione del dato il più elevato possibile. Abbinata alla piattaforma Microsoft Azure permette di trarre il massimo vantaggio possibile dal cloud e di garantire livelli di servizio convenienti, sicuri e flessibili. In un mercato in cui il cloud è il contesto di riferimento per la riduzione dei costi di capitale, l’uso della accoppiata Azure – Commvault permette di incrementare la velocità delle procedure, permettendo di risparmiare tempo e risorse.
La piattaforma Commvault è in grado di gestire semplicemente qualsiasi tipologia di ambiente composto da macchine fisiche, macchine virtuali, applicazioni,
desktop, laptop o cloud con la possibilità di accedere ai propri dati da semplici interfacce web o anche da applicazioni per smartphone e tablet.

Multitenant, Dedicated or Hybrid - Which cloud to choose?RapidScale
With the increased consideration of the cloud, many organizations are deciding how to best integrate it into their business.
There are three main forms of cloud computing: public, private and hybrid. When considering the move, you shouldn’t just pick one of these at random. The choice should be strategic, based on the characteristics of your business. Each cloud model is best suited for certain types of organizations and needs, so picking the wrong one could backfire.

Cloud software is offered to customers via the Internet on a pay-as-you-go basis. It’s extremely popular today, with most people using it daily without even realizing it. And this simple model leads to countless benefits for businesses and consumers alike.
Cloud Computing Stats - The Internet of ThingsRapidScale
The Internet of Things (IoT) is all about connecting devices and objects through the Internet. It’s a giant network of connected “things,” including people, creating relationships between people-to-people, people-to-things, and things-to-things.
Here are some statistics about the Internet of Things.
This infographic compares the 2015 service reliability of cloud computing's biggest players, including Google, Amazon and Microsoft. It covers downtime in hours and the amount of outages that occurred in 2015, with data from CloudHarmony.
IaaS, PaaS, SaaS - these are terms you may have heard, but do you know the difference? Understanding the cloud stack is an important step in transitioning to the cloud.
Disaster Recovery vs. Business ContinuityRapidScale
Are these the same things? Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity are stemmed from the same general idea: in the event of a disaster, keep the business running as quickly and as seamlessly as possible.
However, Disaster Recovery is a reactive solution and Business Continuity is a proactive solution for businesses.

Cloud Computing Stats - Cloud for RetailRapidScale
As with most other industries, cloud computing is creating new opportunities for retailers. Retailers place a lot of importance on reputation and customer perception - both of which can be positively maintained with the cloud. Here are some statistics about how cloud is impacting retail today.
[Infographic] Questions for a Weatherman and a GeekRapidScale
We revamped one of our first infographics to better answer the question: what's the difference between a cloud and the cloud, anyway? We asked two cloud experts, a weatherman and a computer geek, to shed some light.
Countless studies have shown that cloud security is the major factor standing in the way of cloud adoption. Security is all-encompassing, referring to physical and network security, as well as compliance.
However, security in the cloud has finally turned a corner. Just as some companies currently have better in-house security than others, some cloud providers view security as a larger priority than others. What do we have to say about security? In cloud we trust!
Cloud Computing Stats - Cloud for HealthcareRapidScale
Security concerns are especially prevalent in the healthcare industry, and understandably so, due to its sensitive, private patient data. In the past, the industry has let innovation pass it by due to these worries, but today, the cloud is ready! As cloud security strengthens, healthcare can finally take advantage of the efficiency and cost savings of the cloud.
Here are some statistics about how cloud is affecting healthcare today.
Cloud computing presents many opportunities to boost productivity in an organization, ultimately saving time, money and energy. This characteristic of the cloud helps bring organizations into the future of technology while allowing them to focus on running their business.
With today’s evolving technological landscape, chances are you’ve heard of the term “cloud.” You may have even wondered why anyone would be talking about the weather along with computing infrastructures and data centers. Although the popularity of the cloud has gradually risen, there are many people who still don’t know exactly what it is.
The cloud is the general term for cloud computing, which refers to the use of the Internet to access hosted services or your own applications, storage, servers, and data that are hosted in a remote location. Saving your files to the cloud allows you to access them from anywhere at any time, as long as you have an Internet connection. You have probably been using cloud services or resources for a while without even knowing it. The most common cloud services include Gmail, Dropbox, Google Docs, and even Twitter.
Cloud computing is continuing to gain momentum among businesses and consumers alike. It offers consumers a more convenient way to store and share their files as well as access their data at any time, from anywhere. Businesses are virtualizing corporate desktops in the cloud and have considerably reduced the costs of maintaining their physical IT infrastructures in the process. Cloud services allow for more flexible working practices as well as greater mobility. Accessing your data on any device is safe and secure, and actually gives companies a better way to manage and secure data.
Cloud computing focuses on shared resources within the infrastructure. This means that customers share physical resources while maintaining security by reinforcing their “piece of the pie” with firewalls and virtual security. By focusing on this shared resource methodology, cloud companies can offer incredibly cost-effective rates compared to traditional computing due to the positive economies of scale. The more tenants that occupy a cloud, the more cost effective a solution becomes. The best Cloud providers use this method to offer solutions for a fraction of what they would cost should an organization attempt to do them in-house.
The cloud is quickly becoming commonplace in the world of technology. Its accessibility and convenience are undeniable, and more often than not, businesses and service providers have considered implementing or currently utilize cloud computing.
[Infographic] Cloud Computing for the EnterpriseRapidScale
Individuals and small businesses have been quick to board the cloud computing train. Enterprises, on the other hand, have lagged a bit behind. However, it seems that big businesses are finally finding their way to the cloud, and RapidScale can help with the move.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view?

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
