Performance and flexibility
* SoftLayer delivers services across the
globe via a network of local cloud hubs,
such as data centers and points of
presence. These local cloud hubs can
provide prompt access to data without
having to wait for servers several countries away to respond.
* SoftLayer’s high-performance private network also
makes it possible to build global applications that do not
require or use the public Internet to connect to servers that
are located in multiple countries, which helps avoid disruptions caused by other traffic on a public network.
* SoftLayer provides automated services to help create
an ideal hosting environment for enterprise-class applications, both cloud enabled and cloud native. SoftLayer
clients can build their businesses using virtually any
combination of hybrid hosting with dedicated servers, single-tenant virtualized servers and multi-tenant virtualized
servers—and security-rich, highly scalable web service
solutions to help address operational requirements, whether they are unique or standard.
* Performance is the intersection of power, agility and
control. What organization that values performance would
want to use an oversubscribed, commodity cloud as the
cornerstone of their business?
Globalization
* SoftLayer is one of the largest cloud infrastructure providers in the world. Today,
it supports a rapidly growing list of clients
in over 140 countries. The data center
and points-of-presence (PoPs) locations
provide near-seamless, direct, private and high-speed, security-rich access to a highly optimized backbone network,
bringing connectivity closer to the end user.
* Nearly all SoftLayer services are available at all of its
data centers. The only exceptions are object storage and
storage-area network (SAN) storage, which are available
