gPLATFORM Platform Overview

gCLOUD3’s gPLATFORM uses the latest technologies incorporating a state of the art hypervisor, Solid State Disk caching, and much more to ensure that the Managed Services Provider stays relevant with their SMB clients in the rapidly growing cloud computing arena.

This has all lead to a completely turn-key, preconfigured, redundant, reliable, scalable and flexible private cloud platform providing a solution that standardizes the client’s entire infrastructure.  

 

The platform consists of the following:

 

 

  • Three components: private cloud server, backup, disaster recovery, and network appliance, and management system
  • Provides CPU, memory and storage resources for virtual servers, virtual desktops, backups, and disaster recovery.
  • Hosts the web-based management software for system administrators to create virtual servers & desktops, new users, golden image templates, and perform other management tasks.
  • Composed of a redundant storage platform, with separate storage for virtual desktops with solid state cache.
  • Very easy to scale, by adding additional private cloud, gVIRTUAL, in resource pools

 

 

Network:

 

  • Each platform comes with a multiple Gigabit NICs for:
    • Dedicated NICs for virtual servers
    • Dedicated NICs for pools of virtual desktops
    • Dedicated NIC for management system
    • IPMI built in to give KVM over IP console access

 

Storage:

  • Ultra reliable hardware RAID allows for better storage processing
  • Virtual Desktop solid state disk-based caching
  • Dedicated storage arrays for virtual servers and virtual desktops

 

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure:

  • Software based thin client conversion software recycles existing desktops
  • Hardware thin clients has low energy footprint, and last 2-3X longer than traditional desktops
  • Virtual desktop infrastructure uses RDP 7, for multimedia support
  • Access virtual desktop from anywhere
  • Publish applications at no additional cost
  • All data resides on gVIRTUAL, not on thin client
  • Virtual desktops process data on the private cloud side
