Description of RapidScale CloudServer

CloudServer eliminates the need to spend capital on upgrading physical hardware and moves businesses into an Operating Expense (OpEx) model. The business doesn't have to manage or control the underlying cloud physical infrastructure but still has control over operating systems, storage, and applications. Virtual servers offer numerous advantages over physical servers. Manageability of virtual servers is simpler because you can easily connect to the server’s console remotely without the need for special remote access hardware. You can also clone virtual servers and create templates for quick replication. Lastly, virtual servers all see the same virtual hardware to ensure that your applications all run on similar hardware to eliminate problems that may arise from dissimilar hardware. CloudServer has a pay-as-you-go model which allows you to scale up or down depending on your needs. When it comes to pricey hardware, an organization can save a lot by using RapidScale’s secure infrastructure and paying for only what was used. With IaaS an organization can eliminate the many negative aspects of IT expansion, especially issues with in-house infrastructure, while still receiving the processing power and storage that you need to run business-critical applications.

I love that it allows me total flexibility in my environment without having to worry about any upfront costs for additional servers/hardware etc - just pay as you go! It's not always easy when deploying new software versions with our customers so this is great because we can roll out updates quickly if required. We've also been able to migrate workloads from older technology onto Hosted Virtual Servers which makes life easier too! Not really anything at present though would like more…

Pros
  • Just simply use what there already installed instead.
Cons
  • I don't really have any dislikes about this, everything is just fine

Scales Up And Down In Seconds, Super Easy To Use

The ability to scale up and down without any downtime is amazing.The support team is also very helpful. I don't like that you can only use one OS at a time. You cannot run multiple instances of your application on the same server. You will have to upgrade to a new server if you want to add another instance. If you are looking for a managed solution then this is perfect for you. We needed a way to quickly scale up our servers when we were experiencing high traffic. This was the answer. I like…

Pros
  • No need to set aside large budget or wait weeks before seeing results.
Cons
  • Not bad

Awesome product along great engineering/product management teams

It's very easy to use; it is self-service with no IT staff required for setup or support. Easy to implement and deploy new apps in AWS environment without any extra cost. We can easily scale up our application when needed without affecting existing users. There are some features that I like most such as AppSync, serverless architecture etc. which makes development more efficient than other similar products out there. 1. Easy to understand documentation 2. Self service provisioning 3. No need of

Pros
  • Free tier plan available.
  • So we had few questions regarding how certain things work but they were answered promptly within 24 hours after raising an issue via chat system built into app sync console page.)
Cons
  • Good but not great

Excellent tool made by awesome people

Nothing. It's a great software and service that will enable you to manage and control your cloud services more easily and effectively. The support from their engineering team is second to none and the software itself seems to be constantly receiving updates that improve its functionality. The UI design is very user friendly and it's easy to get what you need when interacting with the software. For me it's a great product, easy to use and with a good support team behind it. The only issues I…
