Fast Cloud Delivery
1 A Virtual Data Centre (VDC) contains multiple VPCs
2 A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) contains any number of
VMs (virtual servers)
3 Each VPC is controlled by a virtual router w. firewall
4 Create virtual networks and appliances (routers,
firewalls, load balancers etc.)
Each VPC can have any number of isolated network
segments (not shown in diagram)
Our unique combination of products are designed to
easily enable enterprise grade IT services to be delivered
from the cloud fast
