Cloud Solutions

American Frontier's cloud solutions bring you cloud-enabled computing, storage, and content delivery. These solutions provide advantages and capabilities not found with other cloud services. Besides operating as stand-alone solutions, our cloud services can seamlessly interface with our dedicated servers and automated services to create a fully integrated computing environment with unprecedented interoperability and efficiency.

Cloud Computing

Massively scale your computing resources on-demand. This offering lets you deploy on-demand computing instances running enterprise-grade and open source operating systems in minutes. Guaranteed to be based on a minimum of a 2.0GHz processor, the computing instances are available with your choice of operating system and include a library of images to choose from. These instances can stand alone or be seamlessly integrated with the rest of your dedicated servers, virtual servers, and additional services, to create a unified computing environment with unequaled efficiency and interoperability.

• Public Cloud - A multi-tenant environment that is designed for workloads that require rapid provisioning.
• Private Cloud - An environment dedicated to a single customer that leverages virtualization tools to deliver a secure computing platform.
• Bare Metal Cloud - Designed for workloads with high I/O and that do not require a full virtualization layer.

Key Advantages

• Rapid Provisioning - Computing instances delivered as fast as 5 minutes
• Automated Recovery - Designed to automatically recover the computing instance in the event of the failure of the physical environment
• Hybrid Environments - Private network enables dedicated and virtualized solution integration
• KVM over IP - KVM over IP access to computing instances
• Pay As You Go or Monthly Packages - Pay only for the resources you need and use

Cloud CDN

Get your content to users faster and more efficiently. Cloud CDN (Content Distribution Network) distributes content through a network with over 20 nodes, putting your content geographically closer to your end-users. This minimizes the distance the data has to travel, avoiding network traffic jams, decreasing latency, and improving the user experience.

Cloud CDN is available with two different distribution options:

• Origin Pull - The first time content is requested, it's pulled from the host server to the network and stays there for other users to access it until it's automatically cleared 24 hours after the last demand for it.
• POP Pull - Content is stored on all 21 nodes around the globe, remaining available "at the edge" of the network at all times.

Key Advantages

• Cost-Effective Scalability - Pay-as-you-go bandwidth accommodates changes in user demand without excess capacity.
• Performance-Neutral Growth - Spreading content delivery over multiple servers throughout the cloud ensures that increased demand for content does not slow down or compromise delivery.
• Geographic Reach - Pushing content to nodes around the world optimizes the speed and reliability of content delivery to end-users regardless of location.
• High-Quality Content & Media Rich Web Sites - Optimizing data and content delivery allows web sites to include richer, more creative content without sacrificing performance.

Cloud Storage

Enjoy anytime, anywhere access to your data, increasing productivity and getting more value out of your data. Cloud storage brings you a secure, cloud-based solution for storing, managing, and sharing data in any file format. Access your data using a wide variety of methods and devices, including native Windows client or WebDAV access (Windows, Mac and Linux), a rich Web 2.0 client, or native applications for BlackBerry, and iPhone devices. Share and collaborate with colleagues, family members, or friends through easy to use, advanced public and private file sharing tools that you won't find anywhere else.
