“ That ’ s why App Engine is perfect for many SaaS companies and digital agencies . They need infrastructure that is fast , efficient and scalable , but they don ’ t typically want to spend a lot of time managing that infrastructure .”
The value of Virtuozzo
Flow ’ s compute cloud , managed Kubernetes and storage services run on Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure , while its App Engine runs on the Virtuozzo Application Platform , which was formerly known as Jelastic .
“ The Virtuozzo technology stack is essential to us . As a young company we would never have the resources to be able to develop our own platform and offer these innovations to our customers ,” Jovanovic said . “ We ’ d need three times more people , expensive skilled people that are hard to find .”
As well as giving customers the ‘ cool factor ’ of having their data in an underground bunker , ALP2 elevates the term ‘ carbon neutral ’ from a vague buzzword to a real commitment .
A unique cloud experience
Using Virtuozzo as the foundation Flow has created its own customer portal for cloud services , leveraging Virtuozzo ’ s OpenStack API to integrate its services in a simple , friendly way .
Flow also appreciates the fact that the Virtuozzo cloud stack is built on open-source technologies .
“ We love that it ’ s OpenStack-based ,” he said . “ It ’ s an industry standard and it is open , but with Virtuozzo it is fully supported and we can actively work with the team there to keep improving it and develop features that suit the way we bring cloud services to the market .”
“ Simplicity is so important in this market and it ’ s another way we offer something different to the hyperscale providers ,” said Jovanovic . “ Our portal lets you provision and manage everything in one place , whether it ’ s KVM virtual machines , Kubernetes or object storage running on Virtuozzo , or even our bare metal Mac hosting services . And we have some very cool features coming to make the user experience even better .” p
