Are you in the right cloud?
Be Sure.
There's no room for mistakes, maybes, or picking the wrong provider when it comes to your cloud infrastructure and data. Make sure you’re in the right cloud, using ideal servers, and in prime data center locations. You’ll also need a failsafe backup plan and the most advanced and secure cloud network.

from hybrid cloud?
Definitions for hybrid abound: Dedicated and virtual servers. On- and off-prem locations. Single tenant and multitenant resources.
But what really matters is how you define hybrid.
Whether you want dedicated servers for your database and virtual servers for your web tier, or you want to use your own data centers for some of your applications and then scale into the cloud as you grow, SoftLayer is your ideal partner for the off-prem, public cloud, private cloud, single tenant, multitenant, dedicated servers, and virtual server components of any hybrid scenario.
If you’re looking to create or refine your hybrid cloud strategy, learn how SoftLayer can help. Chat with a Cloud Expert Does your data
demand dedicated?
Every workload is unique.
Having the right server matters.
Some projects—like big data processing and analysis, game development and publishing, data mining, numerical and seismic analysis, processing and rendering 3D video, real-time social media analysis, mass storage, and most SQL and NoSQL databases — require the heavy lifting capabilities that only dedicated servers can deliver.
SoftLayer has the biggest, baddest, must fully customizable dedicated servers available anywhere in the cloud. And options like GPU cards for high performance computing make them even more enticing.
If you’re looking for a dedicated cloud server, you’ve come to the right place.

Can you customize
your virtual servers?
Almost every cloud provider has virtual cloud servers (or VMs, or virtual instances, whatever you want to call them) that are available on demand with consumption-based billing. But is that enough for your virtual cloud server needs?
Each application, workload, and data set is unique. Your virtual cloud server should be too—because one size virtual servers definitely do not fit all cloud needs. At SoftLayer, you get more customization options, including up to 242GB RAM, 56 cores, and 100GB SAN or local storage. You can also add extra storage, choose an operating system, add control panels, firewalls, monitoring, and more. Fast deployment and on-demand scalability are givens.

Shouldn't your public
and private network
traffic be separate?
Most cloud users don’t want their management traffic to go over the public Internet.
At SoftLayer, we get that. That’s why we were the first in the industry to create a unique triple network architecture that allows users to segregate traffic and streamline management.
Our private network backbone is separate from the public network, and it enables you to: seamlessly connect your services in SoftLayer data centers around the world, move data between servers at no cost, and more—all totally apart from the public Internet. And our out-of-band management network allows access to your server for maintenance and administration purposes.

your data center?
Location. Location. Location. Few things affect the success and functionality of your application like locale.
Be sure you can pick yours.
At SoftLayer, you won’t find any data center “regions” or random assignments. We actually let you choose the exact data center location you need. Because when it comes to things like data residency laws, geographic redundancy, and serving customers in a specific city or country, you need to control where your servers and your data physically reside.
With data centers across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, you can provision cloud resources where they need them. SoftLayer cloud performance, flexibility, and control aren’t just on demand, they’re also just around the corner.

cloud backup plan?
There's no time like the present to create a data redundancy and failover plan.
No one expects data corruption or loss, but it is far less expensive to maintain a backup than it is to have to recreate it from scratch. That’s why it’s important to keep identical copies of your most valuable asset—your data.
With our global footprint data centers, you can easily create geographically diverse copies of your data with EVault Backup or R1Soft, and you’ll also be protected in the event of physical damage to a data center.
