Technology Overview
nScaled Hybrid Cloud services are delivered on our proprietary nScaled Service Platform and industry standard infrastructure technologies
The nScaled cloud is unique in its distributed architecture across nScaled's network of Remote Cloud data centers, and within each customer's LAN environment on our Local Cloud Appliance. The hybrid cloud architecture allows workloads to migrate between the LAN and the cloud over secure encrypted connections.
All nScaled cloud services are based on the same proven technologies that enterprises use in their own data centers: VMware, FalconStor, Microsoft, Dell. Our Recovery Console SaaS administration application provides customers a simple yet comprehensive dashboard for controlling their entire cloud environment.
With Recovery Console, customers can recover workloads, manage backups and archives, and perform other infrastructure functions. Benefits include reduced capital outlays, less overall cost, service type billing, lower complexity and improved performance.
