OLICLOUD VIRTUAL The Olivetti Virtual Servers offer for Partners
Olicloud Virtual is the Olivetti offer of virtual-server hosting services. It shifts the enterprise focus from the traditional concept of “ownership” of a server to host information and applications, to “use” of computing resources and disk space that provide the same functions as traditional servers (web servers, file servers, mail servers), and are accessed through simple broadband connections.

Thanks to Olicloud, Olivetti partners can focus on delivery of services with higher added value, independently of the actual delivery infrastructure.

Partners’ servers are “virtualised” in Olivetti’s data centres, using technologies that supply the real-time processing capability required by applications through shared use, in conditions of maximum security, of the hardware resources of today’s most powerful and reliable platforms.

Partners’ servers are “virtualised” in Olivetti’s data centres, using technologies that supply the real-time processing capability required by applications through shared use, in conditions of maximum security, of the hardware resources of today’s most powerful and reliable platforms.

The Service consists of 4 profiles, subdivided by type of Performance (Mono-processor or Bi-processor) and Operating system (Windows or Linux).

The virtual server may be associated with a series of applications supplied with a specific licence from the Software Vendor, available on a list-price basis. Applications are Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Web Edition and Microsoft Terminal Server (for simultaneous access to the virtual server with remote desktop clients).

ADDED VALUE
Olicloud Virtual enables companies to overcome the structural limits of servers, thereby generating a dramatic reduction in:

• costs, generated largely by equipment purchase (initial cost) and management/maintenance (recurring costs);
• obsolescence risk stemming from the rapid rate of technological development in software and operating systems which make increasing demands on HW resources;
• system rigidity caused by the limited ability of physical servers to adapt to the capacity demand of corporate applications consisting of recurring events of limited duration.

The benefits of the offer stem from a combination of elements with high added value:

• real-time support during activation and testing, for assured success with end customers;
• rapid service activation and delivery;
• dedicated Help Desk manned by specialist operators;
• fee-based invoicing;
• no activation fee;
• no intermediation with customer;
• guaranteed security and accessibility;
• zero maintenance.
